TNA News TNA News: Nigel McGuinness (a/k/a Desmond Wolfe) failed a WWE prescreening test By Jason Powell Oct 21, 2009 - 01:45 PM Email This Article | Printer Friendly Page Send Us News & Results | Back to Main Listing New TNA wrestler Nigel McGuinness told his new coworkers at the TNA Impact tapings that he was able to sign with the company because WWE took too long finalizing the contract. However, Dot Net has confirmed reports that he failed WWE's prescreening test. As such, WWE pulled their verbal offer and never offered him an actual contract. Powell's POV: This was not a case of Nigel failing a drug test. Rather, all indications are that it was a medically related test that caused WWE to shy away. TNA does not have a prescreening process for their talent. While Nigel opted not to reveal the true story to the wrestlers in the locker room, it's unclear whether he shared this information with TNA management before he signed his new deal. Obviously, there is no heat on WWE senior vice president of talent relations John Laurinaitis over this matter as I theorized there could have been the case yesterday. At the time, the only information I had was based on the story that Nigel was sharing other wrestlers. HELP SUPPORT DOT NET!
