This is no joke folks: WWE has announced that The Wrestler film star Mickey Rourke has challenged their very own Chris Jericho to a face to face rumble in the ring at Wrestlemania 25 at Reliant Stadium on April 5.

We suppose since Rourke trained to play Randy Ram in his latest film, he figures why not.  In fact Rourke took the opportunity on the red carpet at the SAG Awards to thank all of the WWE wrestlers for their support in his movie role with the exception of Jericho, who he plans to fling “around the ring like a tossed salad.”

Check out the SAG Awards video of mouthy Mickey below.
