ROH’s veteran wrestler Jerry Lynn sees a strong parallel between his career and Randy “The Ram” Robinson’s career in the new movie, ‘The Veteran.’ So much so, that prowrestlinginsider.com is reporting ROH has decided to create a storyline around the simularities.

The storyline began when ROH heavyweight champion Nigel McGuinness verbally assaulted Lynn after a match, then Lynn apologized for attacking him in response, saying he was wrong to do it and talked about how the wrestling business really didn’t exist for him anymore.

In the ROH storyline, Lynn will now play the underdog who doubts his own abilities but wants one more shot at glory.

The climatic finaly for ‘The Wrestler’ was filmed at a ROH event and frankly, ROH would have to be crazy not to exploit this exposure. If ‘The Wrestler’ really does well, could this lead to a TV contract for ROH?

Troubles are chipping away at R-Truth. First, apparently R-Truth’s push has been ended for now while R-Truth works more on his in-ring fundamentals. Now, Mike Johnson reports that R-Truth aka Ron Killings was detained at the Canadian border for reasons unknown at this time and was sent home. Obviously, R-Truth will not be a tonight’s Raw/ Smackdown tapings in Toronto.

Dave Meltzer reports that the plan to give Jeff Hardy the WWE title at Armageddon was decided about two weeks before the pay-per-view. Vince McMahon had been opposed to giving Hardy the title, but when the issue came up again, actually favoured Hardy getting the strap this time around. Prior to the decision, WWE had planned on keeping Edge the champion until Wrestlemania.

Former WWE and TNA superstar Tomko returned to World Wrestling Entertainment Monday night in Pittsburgh, PA. Tomko defeated Paul Burchill in a dark match, a match designed to make the returning Tomko look good and to help him get over with the Raw audience.

Our source is saying that Tomko’s return may already be over and he may be released at anytime.

John Laurinaitis pushed to have Tomko back to the company.Tomko resigned with WWE a few months ago, and was expected to work out with Florida Championship Wrestling until the company was ready for him to return to the road. Tomko lives about an hour from the training facility, but only showed up a couple of times. Tomko’s physical condition when he arrived was unimpressive and when Vince mcMahon got a good look at Tomko, Vince chewed Tomko a new one. Not only that, but Tomko blew up in his short two minute match.

What wrestler would seriously show up at WWE in less than excellent physical shape, with Vince’s well-known expectations on talent?

Tomko has apparently burnt his bridge with TNA. Our source is telling us that Tomko’s return to TNA is unlikely, as the general feeling is that Tomko hasn’t been honest with the company in the past.

Tomko did leave TNA to work in Japan, but with no steady offers he returned to TNA.
