A clip for The Wrestler that comes courtesy of SlashFilm. Randy The Ram Robinson takes on The Ayatollah (Ernest The Cat Miller) in a 20th anniversary rematch of their epic match at WrestleSalm IV in 1988. Imagine if The Iron Sheik and Macho Man were reduced to doing a rematch of the wrestling match that was the pinnacle of their career, but at a small independent fan fest show in front of only a couple hundred people. As you can imagine, both wrestlers aren t exactly on the top of their game. The footage was taken from an international television review of The Wrestler, so there is Spanish commentary over the entire clip, which of course isn t in the actual film.

Feature trailer for The Wrestler. Back in the late '80s, Randy "The Ram Robinson" (Mickey Rourke) was a headlining professional wrestler. Now, twenty years later, he ekes out a living performing for handfuls of diehard wrestling fans in high school gyms and community centers around New Jersey. Estranged from his daughter (Evan Rachel Wood) and unable to sustain any real relationships, Randy lives for the thrill of the show and the adoration of his fans. However, a heart attack forces him into retirement. As his sense of identity starts to slip away, he begins to evaluate the state of his life -- trying to reconnect with his daughter, and strikes up a blossoming romance with an aging stripper (Marisa Tomei). Yet all this cannot compare to the allure of the ring and passion for his art, which threatens to pull Randy "The Ram" back into his world of wrestling. Director Darren Aronofsky presents a powerful portrait of a battered dreamer, who despite himself and the odds stacked against him
