Next Great Sports Movie: The Wrestler

I heard about this movie a while ago, but the trailer is finally out and it is living up to expectations and creating a ton of hype. It comes out 12/17 and stars Mickey Rourke as a retired wrestler making a comeback. Also, it’s directed by the same guy who did Requiem for a Dream, so you know the probable steroid scenes are going to be sick. The main thing I’m looking forward to though, is Marisa Tomei playing a stripper, but you also can’t overlook the Bruce Springsteen song written for the movie (plays during the trailer). I think this is the next great sports movie and hopefully creates some wrestling fans, because their is too much craziness in that industry that goes un-ridiculed.
