Even if he doesn't do a match, I imagine him being somehow involved at 'Mania.
There's always the Special Guest Referee approach, which allows for (read: inevitably leads to) some action.
Or a tag team can always help a newbie. I'd pair Rourke up with The Rock -- does he ever make any comebacks? -- or Dennis Rodman, just to up the weirdness factor.

The Rock hasn't wrestled in five years, but Van Damme needs to keep the JCVD momentum going -- with him and Rodman they could have a Double Team cast reunion. [-o<

All that article tells me is that Vince SAID he likes it.
I was going by what Dave Meltzer wrote in his latest issues of his publication the Wrestling Observer Newsletter:
Several reported Vince was furious seeing how wrestling was portrayed, but obviously the publicity and business changed his view. Darren Aronofsky was on NPR, and said, “Vince saw the film and he called both me and Mickey and he was really touched by it. This really only happened a week ago...He really thought the film was special.” No surprise that he saw it before anyone, but only when the film garnered the strong mainstream buzz over an Oscar nomination, then he decided to call and hurriedly put together a deal.

AP wrote:Chicago Sun-Times film critic Roger Ebert was honored with an honorary life membership in the guild.
Michael Apted, the guild's president, noted that Ebert no longer can speak because of complications from thyroid cancer, but he told Ebert, "We're happy that it didn't stop you from writing about our work."
The ceremony featured recorded testimonials to Ebert from directors including Steven Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, Martin Scorsese and Oliver Stone.
"The motion picture is the art form I love above all others," Ebert said in a statement recorded via a synthetic computer voice with a British accent. "It is the symphony, and you are the conductors."
As sad as it seems, I'll be staying up through the night to watch it as usual. It's on in the UK between about 1am and 5.30am. I'll skip the red carpet vomit-fest though. There's sad, and there's beyond sad.
