Rumor Mill - 'The Wrestler'/ROH angle in the works?

It looks like Ring of Honor will be running an angle related to the film, The Wrestler, with Jerry Lynn as the centerpiece. Recent video wires have shown ROH Champion Nigel McGuinness verbally assaulting Lynn after a match the two had, which led to Lynn attacking McGuinness. Lynn then cut a promo on McGuinness saying that he was wrong and was discussing a business that didn't exist anymore.

In a recent ROH newswire, it was reported that "Jerry Lynn was in attendance at a private ROH screening recently, and was said to be very emotional about his career and its similarities to the career of Rourke's Randy 'the Ram' Robinson." The plan looks to book Lynn as the underdog veteran, who doubts himself, but wants one more shot at glory. The climax of the film was shot at an ROH event.
