TNA Gets Nigel??????
 

As noted earlier, former Ring of Honor Champion Nigel McGuinness is backstage at the TNA iMPACT! Zone in Orlando, FL for tonight’s taping. Although Ring of Honor recently issued a statement that McGuiness had “agreed in principle” to a deal with World Wrestling Entertainment, he has opted to sign with TNA instead and is expected to debut at tonight’s tapings. Nigel is expected to get a new ring name in TNA Wrestling. WWE apparently dragged its feet on signing the duo, so TNA swooped in and signed Nigel. Danielson very well could be next although we do not have that confirmed just yet.

Wow. Swerve.

Nah, sounds too dramatic. I'll believe it when I see it.

getting them both would be awesome

Shut up taker707.

Also, quote your source:

"From Ryan "D-Bag" Clarke who stole it from another site while giving no credit.."

lol..."WWE dragging its feet"

Geee...how could this happen?

Still won't make me wanna watch TNA. No offense.

meh... indifferent

I sincerely hope this isn't true, I don't want them to go there. I don't want to have to watch TNA. I was actually looking forward to seeing how they would perform in the WWE (not at first but the idea grew on me) now they'll have pointless matches with pointless endings with neither of them receiving a consistent push.

more than likely that would have been the fate if they went to WWE.

If TNA stole a booker that I enjoy...I think I'd care more.

Definitely a shocking and exciting turn of events . . .

Who the fuck else is backstage at the Impact tapings
 

Fuck you Ryan Clark! :foc:

I was.

Kurt Angle

I'm pretty sure Eddie Guerrero and Chris Benoit were there also. :y:

LOL

Aye sometimes the company will change their mind or be petty for no reason but it's hard to deny that they know how to build a superstar when they really want to.

unfortunately, Vince Russo is still there :'(

Russo is making TNA worth watching.

I still don't watch it, but this is what I'm hearing.

James Storm.

Jeff Hardy

Now you've gone too far!!

Pretty bummed about this news. Hope Danielson doesn't follow suit.

Yeah. All their talent likes anal sex.

TNA is really more of a small pile of shitty cocks in the dismembered genitalia that is the wrestling industry today

GODDAMMIT TAKER707!!!!!!!

So Nigel's new name is "Desmond Wolf".

Lol, what an awful name. I bet his theme music begins with a howling noise.

They'll probably just give him Nash's knock off of the Wolf Pac theme.

He could possibly feud with Kurt, I could care less what his name is.

He is feuding with Kurt Angle, apparently. He attacked Angle backstage. I would have personally preferred Nigel to sign with the WWE, but McGuinness is doing what he wants to do. Getting a feud out the gate with Kurt Angle, even with a name like Desmond Wolf, is nothing bad for a guy's career.

Bryan Danielson is unlikely to follow suit, in my opinion. He's got Shawn Michaels and William Regal in the WWE to watch over him. Both HBK and Regal have really good relationships with Triple H. As such, Danielson could find himself a favourite.

Seriously.

Ugh, this blows. I love Nigel. I might actually have to turn on TNA and see how it goes, but, I doubt I'll watch it much.

It's not as good as Nigel McGuinness, but I think Desmond Wolf is a pretty badass sounding name.

Dunno if it means anything or is just a typo but the Impact spoilers on the TPWW main page say that Nigel debuted as "Wolf Desmond" instead of Desmond Wolf. The spoilers are credited as being from PWInsider.

I read the spoilers for the next Impact, I'm psyched, sounds like a good show.

TNA has been my favorite wrestling show for a solid two or three months.

I saw it written both ways...

Wolf Desmond would be a terrible name, but Desmond Wolf would be awesome. Funny how that works out.

Yea I saw it as "Desmond Wolf" in pre-taping spoilers but only saw him called "Wolf Desmond" in the ones on the main page that are ripped off of PWI. Maybe it'll be a wolf gimmick and every time a taping or PPV is on a full moon, he'll go berserk and decimate his opponents.
