-- Ring of Honor is running a storyline with former ECW Champion Jerry Lynn that is inspired by "The Wrestler." Lynn is feuding ROH Champion Nigel McGuiness, who says Lynn is old, washed up and "never had it." In ROH's latest news update at ROHWrestling.com, they write "In related news, Jerry Lynn was in attendance at a private ROH screening recently, and said to be very emotional about his career and its similarities to the career of Rourke's Randy 'the Ram' Robinson." Lynn gets a shot at Nigel's ROH title this Friday night at "All Star Extravaganza IV" from the New Alhambra Arena (formerly the ECW Arena) in Philadelphia, PA.
