Director Darren Aronofsky’s new film “The Wrestler” starring Mickey Rourke has been getting rave reviews and winning awards left and right. The recent movie premiere brought out a number of pro wrestling legends, including Ric Flair, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Gret Valentine, Brutus Beefcake and others. With all the attention the film is receiving, WWE chairman Vince McMahon contacted Darren Aronofsky and requested a private screening of “The Wrestler”. So, what did Vince think about it?
Whatever Vince told the director to his face remains a mystery, however a source close to the WWE boss says, “the word negative isn’t strong enough to describe Vince’s reaction. [This is] no surprise because Vince’s vision of the 2008 image of wrestling and even fading stars directly contradicts what The Wrestler accurately portrays.” Others in Vince’s close circle knew going into the screening that this was the kind of movie he was going to despise.
