Do you think that getting involved in the WWE-type nonsense will hurt Mickey Rourke's chances? Or do you think he handled himself well in this interview, at least after he appeared to challenge Chris Jericho to a bare-knuckles match?

Video - Breaking News Videos from CNN.com

I'm wondering if Jericho knows that Rourke used to box professionally.

Too bad they won't make it a Triple Threat Match with Larry King, Jericho and Rourke.

It looks like Rourke may appear at Wrestlemania. That should be interesting.

As far as his chances for an Oscar, I don't think it'll hurt him. I imagine it will all be overshadowed by Kate Winslet's upcoming entry into the tag team division (with Tilda Swinton).

If they're trying to build towards a match, Rourke certainly didn't do a very good job of selling it. And what was up with Mickey's hair? That dud just looks old and crazy (both of which are true, I guess).

I agree that it wasn't as good, but it is still Indiana Jones and doesn't deserve it, like you said.
