actually this isn't the first time a pretender has gone in and brought disrepute to this noble sport. David Arquette became WCW heavyweight champion sometime in the 90s.



and this jackass also wanted to enter the sport too

Pity he's not going up against Undertaker - he'd make Mickey famous.

you also forgot andy kaufman's memorable run!

it's just ironic, that for an industry that prides itself on being "real" they are welcoming a man who has embraced the "fake" side of it, and made a whole movie whose premise relies on breaking kayfabe. i'm sure captain lou albano (if he's dead) is shaking in his grave.

Well I remember reading an interview where he said that the only stunt work he didn't do for The Wrestler was some of the falls, because he was too old and slow nowadays to do it without hurting himself. Since that's a pretty huge part of pro wrestling, I'm not surprised the insurance company or whoever nixed it.

He backed out, I read in today's paper. Or, he "backed out" to build hype for the match - he cut promos on Larry King Live with Chris Jericho, evidently???
