Mickey Rourke is still an outside chance of competing at Wrestlemania IMO. We got a pretty strong hint of this with the promos and Larry King Live, and then the 'E put up the detour.

Now we're predicting Chris Jericho vs. Pick Your Legendary Wrestler/Hall-of-Famer because Y2J is giving us that lead with the current promos.

It's interesting that Piper and Flair have been "such a part of this movie" and they have been verbally sparring with Y2J in the past fortnight. And then Rourke snaps, makes the save and BAM! Jericho vs. Rourke at WMXXV.

I'm just sayin'.

When I first read the topic I thought it said 'Batista's a Head Case'.

Really don't care to see Rourke vs Jericho, but at this point I'm agreeing with Seventh Reason on the way it's going to go.

I disagree. A very strong hint? Rourke on Larry King practically said Jericho he made a mistake by challenging him to a match and that he wasn't going to wrestle.

That's looking at it from the "bleeding obvious" perspective. Dangerous waters my friend.

However, I'm not banking on it - but I wouldn't write it off completely.
