Is Wrestle Jam for the NES real?

[JadeETC]

In the Mickey Rourke movie The Wrestler, Robin invites some kid into his house to play Nintendo. They appear to be playing a game called Wrestle Jam, in which The Ram is a playable character. Is this a real game, specifically programmed for the movie? If so, where can I play it?

Would be cool if retrozone or some such site could locate the ROM and release it on cartridge.

It's possible it may have been written to run on a PC. The programmer might still have the code (but the owner of the Randy Robinson character might need to give permission to release it.) Try to contact "graphics artist Kristyn Hume" or "programmer Randall Furino" from the movie team and find out...
