I don't mind getting punched in the nose by a guy standing in front of me. It's getting stabbed in the back that I can't handle.
Mickey RourkeThe two sports are as different as Ping-Pong and rugby. In boxing, you donโt know whatโs going to happen. In wrestling, itโs already prearranged. But the thing I didnโt know about wrestling is that you really get hurt. Because, you know, youโre wrestling in front of a live audience, and you end up doing things like jumps or slams, and 40 percent of the time you donโt land right.
Mickey RourkeSince I knew wrestling was all choreographed, I thought, Oh, they don't get hurt at all. But I walked away with a renewed respect for the sport. Because I was very ignorant before - I knew nothing about it.
