Ecw is the best place for new guys to go. I would like to see Nigel in Regals stable and use it to jump start his career in wwe. Danielson should have a feud with Shelton to show off his in ring work to get over since IMO his mic skills are not that great compared to Nigel

Wow, the WWE is finally realizing that they are in desperate need of new blood. This is a good signing, and I agree with pretty much everyone; he has a greater upside than Danielson, he could be the next punk/edge (awesome cocky heel), whereas danielson could be the next benoit (minus the murder-suicide stuff).
Its hard to belive that its taken this long though. Mcguiness is 33, kinda old to be getting your first national exposure. |

Working the 'WWE style' should help Nigel cut down his injuries. He won't be having heavy going 20 minute matches most nights and ripping his shoulder/bicep/whatever out of place by throwing so many lariats.
I look forward to the first use of the word 'clamdigger' on WWE TV. |

I'm not sure how ROH fans would want him to be used. Presumably not be given a dumb gimmick and maintain some semblance of his former ROH gimmick. I think the former is likely, given the way they are bringing in people on ECW via the New Superstar Initiative and now Drew Macintyre on Smackdown. With the exception of Abraham Washington (who was a goofy gimmick in FCW) all are serious competitors. It's anybody's guess as to whether or not he comes in as Nigel McGuiness or Nigel Goldman. Hopefully they will have learned a lesson from the Colt Cabana fiasco.

Wow, I am pleasantly surprised by this news. Ive been a fan of Nigel for a while, and I think he would work perfect in Regal's stable, depending on how fast he will join the main roster.
The only thing that sucks for me with these recent ROH releases, is that the next show I attend in Detroit isnt until December. So I dont get to see Nigel or Danielson in a ROH ring one last time. And looks as if its only a matter of time before they try to bring in Claudio again. Last edited by RGWhat316; 09-04-2009 at 04:59 PM. |

I just hope Vince isn't thinking "Hey, I like this Evan Bourne guy! Lets get a bunch more of wrestlers like him from that ROH place."
Followed by "What do you mean you don't wrestle like Evan Bourne?" |

It honestly depends who else WWE takes.
If they take some combination of Claudio, Hero, Aries, Richards, or MAYBE Black, ROH may be screwed. Mainly because I don't think there's a big enough talent pool right now to replace their upper echelon quickly enough. Yeah, more guys can be built up, BUT since they're on TV now, they can't just randomly have lower card guys become main eventers over night. |

Congrats to Nigel and Danielson though. And Kudos also to Punk. His success has made the WWE appear a much more optimistic and attractive destination for independent talent than a period less than 12 months ago; so much so that this news doesn't worry me about their prospects in the slightest. |

That's good news i'd like for him too team up with Burchill maybe for the first little while since WWE is lacking in this department quantitywise as of late. Personally the the next ROH guy i'd like to see in WWE is Jimmy Jacobs although if he did they'd probly end up changing his name otherwise he may end up getting referred to as Double J lol. Not much of a Kenny King fan but he seems to be a great worker but I think he would need a gimmick overhaul since he comes accross as a clone of other guys.

This is pretty sweet news. Nigel needs to do what is best for Nigel, and being in the WWE may be that. Some are saying that he's got more upside than Danielson, and while I won't agree with that, I do think that McGuinness has got the natural charisma and the skills to back it up, which could make him a major player in the WWE one day.
I'd like to see Nigel come in to ECW as a sort of contrast to William Regal. While Regal has fought his way to, well, regal status, McGuinness could be the blue collar hooligan trying to knock him down some pegs. A feud between the two over the ECW Title be fantastic. I am of the belief that it truly doesn't matter which brand Danielson goes to, as he will shine on any show he goes to. I'm sort of hoping that the WWE makes offers to Austin Aries, Chris Hero, Claudio Castagnoli and Kenny King. In my opinion, Aries is one of the best all-round workers in the industry today. Chris Hero just seems like such a natural fit for the WWE's mid-card, and Claudio Castagnoli could do a version of their "Kings of Wrestling" team, which would be incredibly awesome. Kenny King is just goodness. |

Makes me fucking cry. Do you remember how over he was during his debut? Very little flying, but made up for it with well placed spots and an insane (but safe) finisher.

I think one thing that hurt Ultimo Dragon was that the WWE really didn't have much focus on the Cruiserweight Division. It is kind of upsetting he never became the guy in the division, though, which he arguably should have been.
Dragon could have no doubt turned out to be just as big a coup for the WWE as Rey Mysterio. |

This is the signing I perhaps most want to see. Hero oozes personality, and the man has a pretty interesting look. Like if Seth Rogen and Jesus Christ had a baby together. I could so imagine him coming in to SmackDown!, appealing to Vince McMahon to let him be the one to save SmackDown! while Teddy Long is on probation.

The fact that there are two women's titles, and no cruiserweight title, makes me want to cry.

When Punk left, they had Joe, Danielson, etc. Richards, Hero, Claudio, and Tyler could call pull off being ROH world champ... But who else besides that? Steen? Generico? MAYBE Jimmy Jacobs? Roderick, Eric Stevens, Delirious, D'lo, Colt, Rave, Magnum, all great, but none ready to carry ROH. The more people WWE takes, the more ROH has to replace. Could Delirious ever be a legit main eventer at this point? Would peeps take Steen serious as a world champion contender? Maybe over time... But within a month? |
