And fans got their thrill when his longtime make-believe nemisis Chris Jericho turned to The Wrestler actor and challenged him to a fight. Doing his best Robert DeNiro impersonation, Mickey said, “Are you talking to me?” - and climbed into the ring. He then landed a left hook to Jericho’s jaw that sent him to the canvas and the audience into cheers. You couldn’t write a better script. Oh, wait — they did!
Grossing $6.9 million in revenue, the much-hyped event set a new record as the highest grossing live event in WWE history.
With 72 744 fans in attendance, WrestleMania surpassed SuperBowl XLIII in Tampa, FL. It only drew 70 774 attendees.

Mickey is really a great actor and I’m happy to see him on top again. However, WrestleMania is not a good thing for anyone’s career.
Mickey Mickey Mickey, you’re breaking my heart. WrestleMania???? What ARE you thinking?
