Wonder what it will be about? Maybe a wrestler in training.

It's about a washed up pro wrestler, who now works at a supermarket, wrestling in shows on weekends. It's all about him trying to reclaim his former glory.
Coming in 2009, The Wrestler: The Shane Douglas Story.

Nick Cage was supposed to be the lead but backed out. That's too bad.

LOL, is Aronofsky REALLY DIRECTING THIS? That just seems like a stretch.

Either this will be the artsiest movie about wrestling to ever be made or Aronofsky is going to become a more "public friendly" director. With this and The Fighter(about boxer Mickey Ward), seems as though I may start to actually enjoy his work a lot more.

WXW would like to officially congratulate WWE Hall-Of-Famer AFA THE WILD SAMOAN for being selected to train famed actor MICKEY ROURKE in preparation for his lead role in “The Wrestler”, a major motion picture helmed by acclaimed director DARREN ARONOFSKY (“The Fountain, “Requiem For A Dream”). Afa was hand-picked by Aronofsky and the film’s producers based on his unparalleled reputation as head trainer at his WILD SAMOAN TRAINING CENTER, the breeding ground for WWE superstars such as BATISTA and SNITSKY, as well as BILLY KIDMAN and many more. To assist in training Rourke for the rigors of pro wrestling, Afa has chosen the Wild Samoan Training Center’s “Smooth TOMMY SUEDE and “Supreme” LEE GREAT to serve as assistant trainers. Afa and company were also selected to spearhead a similar training regimen for NICOLAS CAGE, who was previously attached to the role. Mickey Rourke, a respected veteran of the big screen, has appeared in over 50 movies, including “9 ½ Weeks”, “The Rainmaker” and “Sin City”. Known for the grit and realism that he brings to his characters, he actually embarked on an abbreviated, yet successful, career as a professional boxer in the early 90’s. His work in “The Wrestler” is already highly anticipated, and with the help of his trainers, one can expect a finished product that will represent the truthful realities of the world of pro wrestling. For more updates on “The Wrestler”, log onto WXWwrestling.com throughout the upcoming days and months. For more information on the Wild Samoan Training Center, log onto www.wildsamoan.com.

Aronofsky is really changing his films up, that is for sure.
He gets the award for "Most Unlikely to make a Wrestling Film."
BUt yeah, this sounds like an actual TRUE wrestling story, with REAL DRAMA.
