I just watched it... Great Movie! My one question is at the end when he went to the top rope, jumped off then the screen went black and the movie ended, did he die? Or do you guys think something else? Ayatollah got out of the way,Ram died as Ayatollah danced to "Somebody Call Ma Mama"

Or do you guys think something else? Ayatollah got out of the way,Ram died as Ayatollah danced to "Somebody Call Ma Mama" Did Sonny Ono ride out on his sweet Yahama motor cycle and assist in said dancing?

My latest submission to ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.com is a letter to Hollywood as it pertains to The Wrestler. (WARNING: LANGUAGE.) Please agree with it? Please? I agreed with just about everything you said. I hate how Hollywood likes to use that double-edged sword on moviegoers. It thinks it's f***ing "high and mighty" and if Rourke were to do something as insane as appear on a wrestling show, his rightful Oscar would go down the drain. Let's be honest here: it's politics. Wrestling does equal redneck circus to Hollywood as you said, and Lord knows inbreds do not see "quality films". Hollywood, being the big, Starbucks drinking liberal corporate jackoff it is, can't allow their current star to appear on that show, even though he probably wants to. Needless to say, I'll give them that Mickey Rourke is slightly insane, but the good kind of insane. Not like Brando insane (let's remember that "Hollywood's Golden Boy" ate himself to death), but like Robert Downey, Jr. insane (Sure, had a couple run-ins, but damn he's great now). So Hollywood can go give itself some "self-love" by holding the Oscars every year, telling people what "quality" is. For years, I believed them. But now, I see their inherent lies. And if they don't award Mickey Rourke for "The Wrestler", I'm going on strike. It's one thing to not nominate The Dark Knight, but it's another to shake the award in the face of the actor who you respect, only to see it given to Sean "Mr. Liberal Know-It-All Because I Played A Gay Guy" Penn. Screw Sean Penn and the Oscars, The Wrestler is great and if Mickey Rourke wants to do WrestleMania, I'm paying $40 dollars for that.

I watched it yesterday, and thought it was a great, but depressing film. Since I have a good idea of what goes on, nothing about the film surprised me. However, it doesn't hide the fact that watching a superstar be a deli counterman is emotionally draining, and really makes you wish there was some sort of shakeup in how benefits are dealt out in wrestling.

I watched it tonight for the second time and cried. Much better after the second viewing, one of my definite favorites.

Probably my favourite acceptance speech ever.

Just finished watching it two minutes ago. Wow, It was amazing. The whole thing just incredible, great acting and I'm almost in tears.
And also BOBBY DEMPSY WAS IN THE BACKGROUND OF ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT SCENES!
