In an interview with EX TNA star Nigel McGuinness spoke about
his early retirement, which prevented him from going to WWE with
fellow ROH alum Daniel Bryan, Seth Rollins and Antonio Cesaro,
as well as prematurely ending his TNA run. Here are highlights:
On why he retired: “Ultimately, I stopped wrestling because I
had done everything I could do aside from WWE. There wasn’t any
interest in me wrestling for them. An old arm injury, which was
pretty much healed, is why I couldn’t work for WWE. Then I got
hepatitis B in TNA and didn’t want to leave a chance for
somebody else to get it.”
On the companies that responded to his plea to stop intentional
bleeding in wrestling: “The WWE doesn’t do it, you applaud them
for that. ROH has a no-blood policy as well. They’re in the
process of getting a testing and/or vaccination protocol worked
out through the legal system.”
On how he feels to see his friends working for WWE while he
can’t: “It’s tough to see my friends [at WWE] making hundreds of
thousands of dollars and really living the life that I worked my
whole life for. And I feel, justifiably so, that I unfairly lost
the opportunity. But I’ve learned so many skills from working on
the documentary, that I can now edit shows and movies and if I
have other projects that I want to do, I know on the backend
that I can do it all myself. I said to [Colt] Cabana on the end
of the tour, really how I view my career will largely depend on
what happens after my career. If I continue to have some success
in L.A., I may look back and say, you know what? It was the best
thing to happen to me.”
