View Full Version : Desmond Wolfe retiring!?

Randy Ricci, a former production manager for TNA Wrestling, claimed in a blog post on Friday that the reason Desmond Wolfe has not been wrestling in recent months is because he has Hepatitis C—a viral disease that leads to inflammation of the liver. We can't confirm or deny this but have heard rumors regarding a disease he has.
Ricci adds that the former ROH World Champion will be offered an office job.
Wolfe last wrestled for the organization in August. He and Magnus were scheduled to receive a shot at the TNA World Tag Team Championship against The Motor City Machine Guns at No Surrender, but were pulled from the event at the last minute, with TNA citing a "personal issue" as the reason. It was later reported that Wolfe was pulled from the event due to an undisclosed medical situation that would sideline him indefinitely.
Hulk Hogan is the only TNA Wrestling employee to publicly address Wolfe's status with the organization. When asked recently on Twitter about Wolfe returning to television, Hogan responded, "Desmond's situation is beyond TNA's control, the ball is completely in his court."
Now granted I'm not too sure how reliable the source is and all but...A office job? Does this mean Wolfe/Nigel McGuinness' career is over...? :(

I think so, not too many guys wanna take a chance with Hep C.
Nobody wants to be a Bob Orton, Jr.
I was just gonna mention him. Wasn't it Taker who super pissed that he had been put in the ring with Orton without being informed of Orton being a carrier?
Hep C is a brutal disease. Hope Wolfe doesn't succumb to it.

Surprised that TNA, given their track record on health issues, aren't trying to push Desmond to a World Title run at this point.

He can be a Heel to Sean Morley, who always gets tested before filming.

It wasn't so much as he was put in the ring with Taker than it was both Taker and Orton bleeding in the same match.

Ouch thats cold Gertner, funny but still cold. I think this is the end for him, like I said before he started looking really small and unhealthy durring his run with Magnus. I know he was never "Batista" big but standing next to Magnus he looked like a cancer patient. (kinda figured he was having health problems)

He could switch from wrestler to a full-time manager for Magnus or another wrestler if he wanted to as a way to stay on the roster without having to wrestle in a ring.

Makes sense in a lot of ways.
Fail WWE medical due to Hep C, go straight to TNA without doing a medical for them, go over top babyface, job repeatedly, fall ill, retire, come back as on-air Network authority figure, win TNA title.

I think he could still wrestle. I think he needs to take some time off in an attempt to fully recover from it. Just like Jumbo Tsuruta did.

Excuse me, DLVH, I think you dropped a name.

That was not my intention. It's just that Wolfe's ordeal is similar (although Jumbo had hepatitus B).
Which is very different. You don't recover from Hep C like you can with Hep B. Not to mention the fact that Tsuruta didn't really come close to recovering from Hep B himself either and it probably played a pretty big role in his cancer/eventual death since Hepatitis is one of cancers best friends.

True, but I think if Wolfe does want to continue, I think he's going to end up on the lower card-to-lower mid-card matches, which mostly likely going to be tag matches, considering his condition.

He shouldn't be wrestling at all "in his condition".
"Alright! I get to risk a deadly disease tonight! Can't wait to wrestle Desmond!"
He just needs to take some time off. Faith healing and voodoo will do the rest.

I wouldn't mind seeing this...Desmond becoming the figure head of the British Invasion...

WTF are you talking about? Tsuruta died because of the stuff.

Anyhow... It's unfortunate that Nigel has to retire due to this. He is very talented and I think he could have made it big in WWE.

Did Desmond ever bleed in TNA? If so, the whole roster is probably at risk as it is a disease that can take a while to surface.
