Default First Trailer Released for Much Talked About “The Wrestler” Movie

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.

Estranged from his daughter (Evan Rachel Wood) and unable to sustain any real relationships, Randy lives for the thrill of the show and the adoration of his fans. However, a heart attack forces him into retirement. As his sense of identity starts to slip away, he begins to evaluate the state of his life — trying to reconnect with his daughter, and strikes up a blossoming romance with an aging stripper (Marisa Tomei). Yet all this cannot compare to the allure of the ring and passion for his art, which threatens to pull Randy “The Ram” back into his world of wrestling.

Director Darren Aronofsky presents a powerful portrait of a battered dreamer, who despite himself and the odds stacked against him, lives to be a hero once again in the only place he considers home * inside the ring.

[I saw Ron Killings]

Wow, that looks really good, I think it's cool how they actually used real promotions, Ring of Honor, CZW and I think I seen WXW used as well, not quite sure. Nonetheless can't wait to see it

I'm a huge fan of Rourke's, so I'll obviously be checking out this movie whenever it comes out. Also, I just wanted to mention that there are quite a few wrestlers involved in the movie. Here are a few of them:
  • 'Luscious' Johnny Valiant
  • Necro Butcher
  • Ernest the Cat Miller
  • The Blue Meanie
  • Austin Aries
  • Ron Killings

It looks good. I also like the Bruce song played in the trailer. Can't wait for it to come out.

Does anyone know of the date that it is supposed to?

I think the best part about this is, not just that it's badass movie, but that it might just get more people into maybe checking out wrestling.
