I reported yesterday that Nigel McGuinness' contract was rescinded because the WWE was leary about his injury history. Well, I was right, but not right enough. Nigel failed a pre-screening test. This wasn't due to drugs, but it's a medical test. I'm guessing the WWE knew about the history, but the test showed that the biceps issue would come up again.
I can't fault the WWE for this, BUT I do think it's a bit short-sighted on their part given the proclivity of anyone in the industry to get hurt. Out of all the big name stars on any of their three brands, the only ones I can think of that haven't missed time due to being hurt are Christian and Chris Jericho. Furthermore, Batista and Edge get majorly hurt every other year. I know, I know, they're both draws while Nigel was the king of a molehill, BUT Nigel has potential to be a draw, both domestically but also importantly, internationally (which could be huge if MMA keeps growing here faster than it does worldwide).
Ah, but it's a moot point. After hearing and reading everything about the subject, I think Nigel is better off in TNA anyway if, and this is a huge if, they continue to push him as indicated by the tapings last night.
