- WWE Hall of Famer “Rowdy” Roddy Piper was so moved after watching The Wrestler movie that he broke down and cried in the arms of Mickey Rourke. Director Darren Aronofsky told The Tufts Daily “His character is really an amalgamation of lots of different characters,” Aronofsky said regarding Rourke’s character. “The sad thing is the more of these guys we met, the more clichés we ran into, as so many of their lives ended up a similar way. Even the guys who kept it together and have a family, etc. - they all had similar stories and all knew someone who was going through a similar thing and dealing with the physical damage that had been done to them. It was great; the other night, Rowdy Roddy Piper showed up at a screening and he loved it. He broke down and cried in Mickey’s arms, so he was psyched that this story was finally told.”
