Speaking to Access Hollywood at last night's SAG awards, the actor revealed that he had been asked to participate at the forthcoming Wrestlemania 25 pay-per-view.
"The boys from the WWE called me and asked me to do it," he said. "I said, ‘I want to.’ I’m talking with [WWE legend] Rowdy Roddy Piper about it.
"Chris Jericho, you better get in shape... Because I’m coming after your ass!"
Rourke, who has received critical acclaim for his portrayal of a fading pro-wrestler, added that he was honoured that the wrestling world had welcomed the film.
"The nicest thing has been the whole wrestling community embracing us. The movie was about their world."
Wrestlemania 25 will be broadcast live from the Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas on April 5.
