Vince McMahon, who initially hated the movie the first time he saw it, has reportedly done a complete 180 on “The Wrestler” ever since Mickey Rourke won a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Oscar reports The Wrestling Observer/Figure Four Online.

A segment aired on last night’s Smackdown praising the film, while there has been some talk internally about trying to do something with Rourke at WrestleMania 25.
