Will everyone just sing along with me? We can pretend we're all rocking back and forth, arms on shoulders... and just sing the chorus to "WHATEVER YOU LIKE" You can even make up your own lyrics, which must be happy. I'll put out the apple juice and fig newtons for afterwards. I have no idea what song you're talking about but my favorite sing a long is this little diddy by the Murder Dolls

They don't mention or show pix of him when he shaved his head for that movie he starred in "A Letter From Death Row" in the mid 90's.
E Channel is making a "True Hollywood Story" about him and I'm providing footage for it!

Y'know, as I think about it..... In all the major interpretations of Batman in the comics, you never see his eyes. You just see white in the slots where his eyes are. I wonder what that would look like in a real life movie... NPH as The Riddler is just made of WIN. In this Fan Movie they used white contacts for his eyes www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hjp0I_okX0wI'm surprised none of you wrstling fans have mentioned Kane when he wore a mask had teh dark make up around his eyes too!

Here's a review from NODQ.com
SPOILERS!!!!
NoDQ.com > Columns > On the Mat, w/ Matt Henry Review of "The Wrestler" Posted by Matt Henry on 12/29/2008 at 04:07 PM
Hello my friends. Welcome to another edition of "On The Mat", with Matt Henry. Just last night I had the chance to sit down and watch the critically acclaimed new film, "The Wrestler". The movie was written and directed by Darren Aronofsky and starred Mickey Rourke as the veteran 80's wrestling star Randy "The Ram" Robinson.
From start to finish this film will tug at your heart strings. Particularly if you are a fan of guys like Jake Roberts, Roddy Piper, or Greg Valentine. Randy Robinson is a dead ringer for just about any guy who made it big in the 80's and fell into the drug lifestyle and was unable to save any money for the future. The story itself is a bit gritty. It gives you a rather sad look into the underbelly of professional wrestling, yet still shows the compassion and respect that some rookie promoters have for the legends of yesterday.
Rourke plays the part of Randy Robinson. Robinson's character was a huge star in the 80's, similar to our real life Hulk Hogan. Main eventing shows all over the world and selling out Madison Square Garden, in his signature feud with "The Ayatollah" (a character very similar to the Iron Sheik") This character is played by a familiar face in former WCW star Earnest "The Cat" Miller. Miller does a nice job in his brief role in the film, but he's no Mickey Rourke.
As the film begins it is set in present day with Robinson looking back on his career. Robinson still works every weekend on the independent circuit, working matches as well as doing personal appearances to pay the bills. During the week Randy Robinson works full time at a grocery store. He makes his home in a beat up old mobile home or even sleeping in his van. As the movie progresses Robinson suffers a severe heart attack and is told that he must quit wrestling for good. This is where the struggle begins.
Robinson does his best to step away from the limelight, but as with any professional wrestler, you simply can't just walk away. Randy tries to pour himself into the heart of an exotic dancer named Cassidy, played by Marissa Tomei. When that initially fails she talks Randy into trying to reconnect with his daughter. His attempt is somewhat successful at first, but falls flat when he once again is too drunk and high to keep a promise to his teenage child. When he finally realizes what he has done and tries to make it right it is too late. She tells her brokenhearted father to leave and never contact her again.
At the mid way point of the film Randy Robinson has lost it all. His career, his child, and the woman he loves. The only thing left for him to hang onto is his day job at the grocery store. Randy immerses himself deeply into his menial job to try to avoid the pain of all his losses. He decides to swallow his pride and begin working with the customers out front as apposed to his old job of working in the stock room hidden from the public eye. Robinson does this for as long as he can, but when he is finally recognized by a former fan and called out as being "The Ram" working as a meat cutter, Randy snaps and makes a scene quitting his job and the only thing real and tangible he has left.
When he feels he has nothing left to live for Randy decides he must make one more leap for glory. He takes a promoter up on his offer for a huge rematch against his greatest foe of the 80's "The Ayatollah". Just as Randy is loading up his van and heading off to the arena Cassidy makes her way to Randy's mobile home to apologize for refusing his advances. Randy explains to her that he understands that she doesn't want some broken down old wrestler and hands her the poster for what will be his last showdown. He invites he to come watch as he pulls away.
At the arena Randy makes the rounds saying his hellos and shaking hands. Just as his opponent is being introduced Cassidy arrives at the building with just enough time to beg Randy one more time to skip this match. He tells her that it is too late and this is the only life he knows as he walks through that curtain one more time to the adulation of his adoring fans. Randy enters the ring and takes the mic to cut his final heartfelt promo. He thanks the fans for their years of dedication and support and reminds them all that without them there would be no "Ram". As he finishes his almost tearful goodbye "The Ayatollah" jumps him from behind and the match is on. Back and forth action until Randy begins to have chest pains. The ref tries to stop the match, but Randy keeps pulling forward. Eventually his opponent and friend of 20 plus years notices his struggle and begs Randy to "go home". He tells his friend, "I got this Randy." and "Come to me and I'll take us home" Randy is too proud to give up and listens to his fans cheering him on. They are begging for his finisher! A top rope splash he calls the "Ram Jet". Randy struggles through the crippling pain and mounts the top rope. He stands on that top rope for the final time and looks out over his audience. Everyone screaming his name. By this time we see a shot of Cassidy still standing behind the curtain. Unable to watch the man she finally realizes that she loves risk his life, she turns and walks away as Randy poses for the crowd and takes his leap to immortality. Randy's face turns to a grimace of pain as he soars through the air. The screen fades to black and the movie ends before Randy even lands. We are left to ponder on our own if Randy survived the match.
The film took you on a shot journey of the final weeks and months of a broken down professional wrestler. The pain they go through on a daily basis, both physical and emotional. It shows us a man well into his 50's still bleaching his hair and laying in tanning beds to look the part. It shows us a man still using steroids to keep his body looking good. A man still using cocaine and alcohol to mask the emotional pain of losing his family and his legacy. You can really see men like Jake Roberts when you watch the fictional character of Randy Robinson. It makes you want to find a way to help them before more end up the way so many of our heroes have.
All in all if you are a wrestling fan, you must see this film! Mickey Rourke is simply amazing and the story is extremely touching. Even if you are not a fan of professional wrestling you should see this movie. I will even goes so far as to say that it may even convert a non fan into a fan. It's a brave look at the dark side of the sport we love. The wrestling action itself is nothing too spectacular, but it does give you some samples of the carny talk and even shows how wrestlers do "blade jobs"
The acting in this movie was superb and the directing was spot on. The only reason Vince McMahon didn't like this film was because it was too brutally honest. It shows a side of the sport that Vince doesn't want us to see. Vince wants us to forget about these legends of the past and not worry about what their lives are like now. Please understand that it is my opinion that 99% of the problems former wrestlers encounter in their post wrestling lives are all brought on by their own choices and actions. I in no way blame Vince McMahon or the wrestling industry, nor should the troubled wrestlers. The fact remains that the problems exist and more should be done to preserve these heroes of our past. No one should end up the way so many of them have.
Once again I urge all of you to see this film. It will bring you to tears and inspire you at the very same time. I for one loved it and will watch it again and again. Kudos to both the director and the man who brought the character of Randy Robinson to life, Mikey Rourke. Go see this movie folks! You will not regret it.
Well friends, I'm afraid that's all I have for today. Before I close I would like to send a special congrats out to Jeff Hardy for finally earning the right to be the top dog. It's about time that the most popular guy in the company is recognized for his abilities and accomplishments. Congrats Jeff Hardy!
I hope you all had a nice holiday and have a safe and Happy New Years. Take care of yourselves and be good to each other. Thank you for going "On The Mat" with Matt Henry! I wish you all a wonderful 2009!

For give me if some one has all ready mentioned this but this current JBL/HBK storyline reminds me of the short lived one when a down on his luck Nikolai Volkoff became an employee of Dibiase to support his family as Dibiase would berate and humiliate Volkoff,having him trade in his Russian flag tights for green tights with a "Cents" logo on it.Volkoff began acting heelish helping Dibiase cheat etc then quickly disappeared as quick as the angle began. It was later casually mentioned on WWF TV that Volkoff had been fired by Dibiase.I wonder what the real behind the scenes story was.
It was so obvious we were going to see Volkoff catching up on his finances,get sick of Dibiase's belittling him and turn on Dibiase in a dramatic classic but predictable face turn just like we knew Virgil would sooner or later.
The same exact thing is being done with HBK! What I don't like is you can't take HBK being broke and down on his luck seriously because he's such a megastar in wrestling.We can all see this coming a mile away that he'll be doing heelish stuff to help JBL,we'll feel sorry for him,hopping he decks JBL and then eventually he will and suddenly be finacially stable. The Volkoff angle was more believable nbut eitehr way it's a lame story line!

mom said she'd go see it with me, but not if it was one giant wrestling match. how long is it and how much wrestling is actually involved? There's only 3 matches in the movie and we see the first 2 in the first half hour and one at the end.But I don't recommend taking kids to see this.There's lots of nudity(but yeah Marisa Tomei is a GODDESS!!) and a pretty explicit sex scene and drug use.

Pardon my ignorance but what's a DS?? Yikes! For real? It's a handheld video game system by Nintendo that features two screens, one of them touch sensitive. It folds up like a clamshell, but the hinge on mine has cracked. Hence, my concern. Sorry I'm a 42 year old man so I'm not hip to what you kids are in to today but I remember wrestling when it didn't suck!

I went to a special screening in SF and really enjoyed this.It plays a lot like "Beyond the Mat" with Mickey Rourke being Jake Roberts but not quite as bad.he looks like something in between Lex Luger and heavy Metal Van Hammer. It captures the indy wrestling scene perfectly.Yes Marisa Tomei is naked in it a lot!Love those nippple piercings!
At the screening I went to the director and Ms. Tomei were there in person doing a Q&A with the audience. There's another free screening this Tuesday I'm going to but I haven't heard an official nation wide release date. I didn't like the ending but I won't spoil it but I will say this film has my 3 favorite things:Wrestling,Strippers,and Heavy Metal music!!!

MOTORHEAD OWNS ALL!!!! some wrestlers used selected songs off ofbands' albums but as far as a "real " band doing someone's ring entrance song:MOTORHEAD!!!
Sting used a live version of the Metallica classic "Seek & Destroy which is off their first album. Rumor has it when Sting wrestled in Japan he used Laaz Rockit's "Fire In The Hole" as his ring entrance music because he appears in their music video for that song.Check it out here:

It really ticks me off how in '92 they said Savage had to have someone throw him over the top rope so there fore he was allowed back in but pretty much every royal rumble there after anyone intentionally jumping over the top rope is eliminated as in the case with Mil Mascaras. I interviewed Mil about that and he kayfabed me saying he didn't understand the rules because in Mexico it's okay to jump over the top rope in battle royals as long as you weren't thrown over by someone.
And it makes no sense at all how an eliminated guy can jump back in the ring and throw someone else out and it counts.such as mentioned with Farooq & Ahmed Johnson or Kurt Angle & Sean Michaels.It's not supposed to or at least it shouldn't even in the "Scripted" world of "sports entertainment".

What I hated back in those days was how on "Super Stars" the next morning they have WWF "announcer" Vince Mc Mahon tell the viewers that Presidentt Jack Tunney ordered that no one was allowed to talk about last night's championship match to which co announcer Jesse Ventura got "bleeped" on when he tried to talk about it.
Back then "Super Stars" was the syndicated flagship show.It was filmed weeks in advance. So I wonder how many dumb marks who thought the show was live noticed how the night before on NBC Jesse Ventura had no mustache but the next morning he had one on "Super Stars". But it sucked we had to wait a whole week longer to find out what was going to happen next with Hogan getting screwed.That's one thing about the old days I don't miss!

My buddy who shot that footage totally partied with AOD that whole weekend and they stayed in touch for a long time.He didn't know about this either. I remember when Terry Gordy died,AOD was on the phone with Michael hayes.Hayes was so distraught according to AOD,he sounded suicidal so AOD kept him on the phone trying to calm him down. That's a real bummer!
