HOUSTON, April 6 (UPI) -- Mickey Rourke, a former boxer and actor who earned an Oscar nod for his work in "The Wrestler," took on pro wrestler Chris Jericho at Wrestlemania in Houston.
Rourke, 56, and Jericho, 38, engaged in trash talk for weeks leading up to Sunday's event. The actor said he would participate in the show, celebrating the 25th anniversary of Wrestlemania, but later backed out. Last week, he was confirmed as an attendee.
