Which HOF Cried After Watching "The Wrestler"

Director Darren Aronofsky has told Tufts Daily that WWE Hall Of Famer "Rowdy" Roddy Piper broke down in the arms of actor Mickey Rourke’s arms and cried after watching the movie.

Aronofsky said the following regarding the Rourke's character.

The sad thing is the more of these guys we met, the more clieches we ran into, as so many of their lives ended up a similar way. Even the guys who kept it together and have a family, etc. - they all had similar stories and all knew someone who was going through a similar thing and dealing with the physical damage that had been done to them. It was great; the other night, Rowdy Roddy Piper showed up at a screening and he loved it. He broke down and cried in Mickey’s arms, so he was psyched that this story was finally told.”
