^ As good as Nigel is, I don't think ratings will go up just because of him. Either way, I would love to see Nigel Mcguinness in TNA. Hopefully he signs a contract soon, he could be a future main eventer in TNA

I don't think this is true. From all I have read, Nigel is not one of the wrestlers TNA is interested in. (They want Michael Judas and some other indy)

If Nigel in the passed decline a wwe deal, then why would he accept a tna contact????
Nigel going to tna would be a bad career move in my view.... Just look at the former roh wrestlers that are in tna now...

Dude what are you talking about, I mean Samoa Joe - World Heavyweight Champion, Jay Lethal- Two time X Division Champion, Low Ki X division Champion and so on the only one who is not being used the right way in my opinion is Jimmy Rave but I can see him braking away from Hoyt and playing a major role in TNA especially the X Division anyway back to the topic, how is coming to TNA a bad move for Nigel when he can get the chance to perform on national TV anyway I think this would be a good move for both Nigel and TNA if it does happen.

The problem is, TNA doesnt need Nigel. They could use Daniels, James Storm, or Robert Roode. Why bring in someone new, if your not going to use what you already have? I dont see him bringing any higher than mid card in tna. Assuming money never existed, this would be a bad move.
TNA already has the best roster they can, and Montana was right in saying that they should use what they have already. Nigel would be successful probably anywhere he goes, but he would be a comedy guy in TNA, I think. There's so many things TNA can do with their roster, they don't need to bring in anyone, they need to cut people.
And from the reports I saw, TNA is good at scouting random indy people that I wouldn't give two craps about.

i haven't seen that reported on one legit news source, so im calling bullshit.
besides that would just suck...Nigel would not work in TNA.

Low ki was X Champ in 2002..oh and 2006 but Yeah.. TNA didn't do much for him after that....
Samoa joe world title reign came around way too late and it started as a failure and now Him/Booker T are tryign there best to make it huge....
Lethal Had the belt 3 times, But not very long reigns. 2 days, 4+ Months and 2 Months.. he's probably been the most successful former ROH wrestler at the moment...
Alex Shelley hasn't been used.. this Man should of been a champ in 06 or 07...
Daniels is slowly being wasted away..
Rave is tag up with a test #2 and a chick that wears too much make up, so no one can notice her big forehead...plus she's a pretty lame manager at one to...
Homicide finally getting used, But after LAX/3D big feud in 07 they were slowly going down the card, while they probably were 06 most hated team in tna...
But TNA doesnt need him..
they already have a 2 hour show with 52 workers on there roster... They have enough wrestlers on the roster... They should be cutting that down to 40-45 atleast...
If Nigel join, i reckon he will get lost in the shuffle, If i was him I would take a WWE contact, Because they tend to use the young talent more often rather than TNA likes to use the BIG older Name wrestlers....
AS you look at WWE use for Former ROH...
CM Punk - former ecw world champ, MITB, 08 KOTR runner-up, The Man has been the Most successful ROH Grown Wrestler....he has about 10-15 yrs to go
L/K - They Were one of the longest tag team champions in a long time.. it was a great reign.. Recently misused and im not happy about it...
Mickie James - 4 Time womens champ.. i think that said it all
Evan Bourne - with Punk off ECW, it looks like ECW will be using him and KOFI as there future prospect faces for the show with Matt hardy being the leader type..
they still have Colt Cabana...
So if i was Nigel.. I would check out the TNA... But He's being very successful in ROH at the moment, I remember in the past WWE was interested in him, But he had a contact with ROH so they backed out... It would be interesting if WWE try to get him again, because he would be a good future talent for them...
I just don't think TNA would book nigel properely....
Ha you say that Lethal is the best ROH guy to do anything in TNA but doesn anyone remember a little guy in ROH back in the day that was Phenomenal. Now he is one of TNA biggest guys since the start of the company. He is a 3 time NWA World Champion, 4 time X division champion. Plus a multi time Tag Champ, I am talking about AJ Styles. He just like Nigel turned down a contract from the WWE. Back in April of 2002 WWE offered AJ Styles a $500 a week developmental contract but he turned them down to join TNA in June. So I say who cares if he turned down WWE cause Aj did and that was for the better. Hell Samoa Joe also turned down the WWE. Just cause Danialson is now doing house shows on Raw dosen't mean the Nigel should. Hell look at Cage. he was in WWe for years and a big name, came to TNA and fit in beter there right away them he ever really did in the WWE. WWE is better for some and TNA is better for others. And just incase you don't remember, back in 2005 in a dark match before Genesis Nigel fought Sharkboy. He did not win but he has wrestled in TNA once before

Aj styles was more TNA grown rather than ROH... But since 07 he hasn't done much except have a title reign that ended in the worst kind of booking ever.. I enjoy him being face and i hope he doesn't get lost in the stuff...

I dont think that he will improve any ratings.. He is known by a few as ROH fans are minority.
If he actually a WWE wrestler, then yes he can improve ratings due to him being known by the majority.
I mean, just think of it as an example. Yes he has talent but not that popular. Example will be, if we say Kane is going to TNA. That would def. improve ratings.
Other than that, yes he has talent. But i dont think that TNA are so good with British wrestlers. I dont think that he will go anywhere there. He should join WWE and form a heel faction would be better.. (yes along with Burchel and Regal).
