Rourke's trademark "Ram Jam" attack remains the stuff of cinema. 'The Wrestler' star Mickey Rourke won’t be donning spandex tights for a Wrestlemania match after all. A rep for the Oscar-nominated actor tells the Associated Press that Rourke will not do battle with WWE superstar Chris Jericho at April’s Wrestlemania 25 in Houston. “He is focusing entirely on his acting career,” Rourke’s rep says.
