Ivan Putsky, Junk Yard Dog, and Chief Jay Strongbow for my formative years! Back then they looked like normal people and I don't think they were as prone to steroid abuse and medications.

That movie "The Wrestler" with Mickey Rourke was depressing but I think it was spot-on.

I used to run into Jerry Lawler quite a bit during the 90's. He seemed like a regular guy to me. A very nice man really.

The same health problems seem to plague the bulls of the NFL too. Steroids are definately a bad, bad scene.

I’ve seen it, and Mickey Rourke was robbed of an Oscar over the Sean Penn who played a homo.

Mickey Rourke during his acceptance speech (a hilarious, non pc rant) at the Independent Spirit Awards thanked Vince McMahon and the WWE for the inside stuff of what went on, and Darren Aronofsky was never hindered on the truth as he was given special access to the WWE stable talents.
