TNA News: More information on the former ROH Champion who opted to sign with TNA despite reaching a verbal agreement with WWE

Nigel McGuinness is telling people that he opted to sign with TNA because WWE took too long to send his contract. TNA officials stepped in and struck a deal with McGuinness, who is backstage at the TNA Impact taping in Orlando.

Powell's POV: Unless there's more to the WWE side of the story, it appears that WWE vice president of talent relations John Laurinaitis has egg on his face over this one, as one can only assume it was his responsibility to finalize the deal. My sincere thanks to the various websites that provided proper credit to Prowrestling.net for breaking this story and the news regarding the returning former TNA Tag Champion earlier today.
