TNA has released Desmond Wolfe aka former ROH champion Nigel McGuinness, PWInsider.com has confirmed.
Wolfe, who had been sidelined for some time with a health issue that prevented him from wrestling for the company, was last seen appearing as the TNA Xplosion Commissioner, setting up a tournament on that internationally syndicated series.
After a stellar run with Ring of Honor that included a ROH title run, Wolfe was slated to sign with WWE but the company opted not to sign him after he went through their screening proces. TNA immediately snapped him up and put him into an angle with Kurt Angle that led to some great matches.
Wolfe was put on the back-burner when the Bischoff-Hogan regime entered the picture and never regained his momentum in the company before injuries forced him out of the ring.
In recent months, he has been writing a sitcom and has also been doing stand-up in the Orlando area.
Understandable decision by TNA. If he can't wrestle then he isn't much use to them.
Hopefully he can move on and succeed with whatever he does next. I don't know if he will be able to wrestle again but if not it seems like he has been planning for the future with his writing and stand-up.
Shame that this health issue has dogged him and hasn't allowed him to reach his full potential in the wrestling business.
