Rewatched The Wrestler last night. Still holds up and that Bruce Springsteen song at the end will bring a grown man to tears

Especially considering the travesty he just participated in in Russia. I said this on Facebook, the more I hear about Mickey, the more I feel he's like his chihuahua-carrying yellow gangster character in Once Upon A Time In Mexico in real life than any other character he's played... well, ever.

Ha, Sandman wasn't even on the card! 

 

If anyone hasn't read the ECW Unauthorized book account about what happened before, during, and after the card, it's hilarious. Heyman wanted Punk to win the Chamber, Vince wanted Bobby. Bobby wanted to heel, Vince wanted a face champ. Everything falls apart, and Vince inexplicably thinks -- even though they went short on PPV -- that everything is fine... until the numbers start coming in on his personal assistant during the next meeting as his face gradually turns a deeper shade of red, and he explodes.
