WrestleZone can confirm tonight that as part of WWE's negotiation
with CM Punk, the company offered Punk a movie similar to the Randy
Orton film "That's What I Am," which starred Ed Harris.
"(WWE talent relations exec) John Laurinaitis was authorized by (WWE
Chairman) Vince McMahon to include a movie in Punk's compensation
package, but Punk turned it down," a key WWE insider told us, "Punk
wants a chance to be the top star in the company, and he thought they
were just testing his ego with the offer."
Another WWE insider, who had not heard the entire story, confirmed
"Vince mentioned something about Punk not wanting to do a movie, and
being surprised that the offer was turned down."
We'll have much more on the Punk story as it continues to develop.
