“The Wrestler” Trailer

Back in the late ’80s, Randy “The Ram” Robinson (Mickey Rourke) was a headlining professional wrestler. Now, twenty years later, he ekes out a living performing for handfuls of diehard wrestling fans in high school gyms and community centers around New Jersey.

Estranged from his daughter (Evan Rachel Wood) and unable to sustain any real relationships, Randy lives for the thrill of the show and the adoration of his fans. However, a heart attack forces him into retirement. As his sense of identity starts to slip away, he begins to evaluate the state of his life — trying to reconnect with his daughter, and strikes up a blossoming romance with an aging stripper (Marisa Tomei). Yet all this cannot compare to the allure of the ring and passion for his art, which threatens to pull Randy “The Ram” back into his world of wrestling.

Director Darren Aronofsky presents a powerful portrait of a battered dreamer, who despite himself and the odds stacked against him, lives to be a hero once again in the only place he considers home ­ inside the ring.

HUGE NEWS - ROH BOOKER GABE SAPOLSKY LEAVES COMPANY

Gabe Sapolsky has left Ring Of Honor.  This was posted on the main page of ROHWrestling.com:

Ring of Honor is announcing that Gabe Sapolsky will be leaving the company effective immediately. Everybody at ROH would like to thank him for his contributions and wish him well in all future endeavors.

Going forward Ring of Honor will be focusing on the stories and the talent in the ring. The company will have no further comments on this issue or a replacement for Mr. Sapolsky. We would like to thank all of the fans and media who have supported us over the years and look forward to bringing you more great wrestling excitement in the future.

In my opinion, this is the end of ROH.  Nobody, NOBODY can replace Gabe.  Gabe is ROH.   I don’t know if this was a cost cutting move, but it was a horrible one.  I am sure Meltzer or Mike Johnson will have more news on this situation later today.  I am just shocked, I don’t know what to say.

Lance Cade Released

  WWE released Lance Cade, which would explain him not being on RAW last night.  He was going to be feuding with his trainer HBK, but obviously not anymore.  I’d like to see Cade/Murdoch as a team in ROH for a weekend.

Karen Angle Leaves TNA

Karen Angle is gone from TNA.  They are saying its because they didn’t have anything for her, but you have to believe it had something to do with her filing for divorce from Kurt.  She is currently accepting indy bookings.
