Nigel McGuinness Speaks Out – Retirement, TNA, Hardy , ROH , Mag
nus and more

Nigel McGuinness recently spoke about why he retired from
wrestling and more. Here are the highlights…
On the TNA Top Ten fan vote that would have given him a TNA
World Championship shot: “If the fans want to get behind
someone, then I think you should go in that direction. When you
poll all your fans, and they overwhelmingly get behind one
person, for you to ignore that is kind of a slap in the face to
those fans, and just really speaks volumes for how legitimately
they cared about what the fans thought at that point. When I saw
that I’d won the poll, I was a little bit worried, because I
knew instantly what would happen, which is exactly what did
happen. And I talked to a couple of people in the company, and
they were like ‘No, that’s crazy, don’t worry about that, you’ve
just won, that’s ridiculous,’ and it wasn’t, and it’s what
happened.”
On why he retired despite now being cured of Hepatitis C: “I
made the decision that I wasn’t going to wrestle any more unless
I was doing something that I hadn’t done before, which really
only leaves WWE. I put out feelers (to WWE), and from everything
I could surmise, there wasn’t interest. So at that point there
was really no option for me other than to retire.”
On the resurgence of Matt Hardy: “You hear from a lot of those
guys that had a great run on top and every time you meet them
they’re ‘I’m straight now, I’m ok now, I’m getting my life in
order,’ and then two weeks later you hear they drop off the edge
of the earth again, but with Matt he seems to really have it all
together; when he came into Ring of Honor, people were kind of
cautious to see how he’d handle it, and everything, but he’s
been nothing but great. He’s done his job well, and he’s really
trying to reinvent himself to a new generation of wrestling
fans, and I wholeheartedly applaud him for doing so.”
On blading: “I think in this day and age, knowing how dangerous
it is, I think it’s unconscionable for people to still continue
to intentionally bleed, certainly if they’re not going to get
tested and vaccinated.”
On the rise of Daniel Bryan in WWE: “The bottom line is, once
they’re over, they’ll (WWE) get behind it, and if you’re good
then you can go with that. That’s the difference. You’ll get
guys who’ll get over for a short time, the company will get
behind them, they’ll get a bit of a push, but there’s no legs
because they haven’t developed that sort of style. Whereas with
guys like Punk and Dragon (Bryan), they’ve taken a decade of
their lives to fine-tune the art form. They know who they are,
they know exactly how they wrestle, and that’s why, when they
bring those guys in, they’re ready to go.”
On Magnus: “I’m really happy for him. He’s earned everything
he’s got there. I think one of the biggest disappointments of my
career is not being able to pursue that tag team (London
Brawling). I always liked him, I think he’s got that larger than
life personality that when he walks into a room he’s the center
of attention, and I think that’s the sort of person you need to
really draw money, and I’m hoping that TNA can do that with
him.”

I like how he tells the truth and he will say what he thinks not
what people want to here always..
Also yer very true about what he said about punk , punk has been
his self from day one what has helped him a lot to become a big
name now. Also it has giving WWE time to look at him and see
what they can offer him...

It goes back to what Jim Ross has said. "You make your own push"
DB and Punk have done that, its not impossible, if the office
wont listen maybe the fans will and they are the ultimate
paymasters.

Nobody knows who from, and it was from blading hence his anti
blading attitude, which is fair enough.

WWE don't want him, he has a recurring shoulder injury. He had a
start date for WWE the day he started TNA but they let him go
when he failed his medical.
