Back in the late ’80s, Randy “The Ram” Robinson (Mickey Rourke) was a headlining professional wrestler. Now, twenty years later, he ekes out a living performing for handfuls of diehard wrestling fans in high school gyms and community centers around New Jersey.
Mickey Rourke is garnering early Oscar buzz for his role as a washed up pro wrestler in Darren Aronofsky’s The Wrestler. Marisa Tomei and Evan Rachel Wood also star.
