Nigel McGuinness hopes the medical issues that led to his early retirement will turn out to be the best thing that happened to him

ROH matchmaker Nigel McGuinness spoke with John Corrigan of the Temple News and spoke about the medical issue that led to his early retirement. "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," McGuinness said. "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."

Powell's POV: McGuinness noted that an old arm injury prevented him from wrestling for WWE, and noted that he acquired hepatitis B in TNA. He also spoke about moving to Los Angeles and offered life advice. It's a good, quick read.
