Nigel McGuinness OUT Until Final Battle or Later Oct 30, 2007 13:56:21 GMT -5

Post by MGH on Oct 30, 2007 13:56:21 GMT -5

From the ROH Board:

I just got off the phone with Nigel McGuinness and there is good and bad news. The bad news is that Nigel has a torn left bicep. The good news is the doctors think with some rest that he will not need surgery and that it will heal by “Final Battle” weekend at the end of December. Since Nigel has already made his first defense we will keep the belt on Nigel until “Final Battle” weekend. If Nigel is unable to compete by the end of Decemember then we might have to make a move with the belt.

Nigel wants to send his apologies for not being able to compete this weekend. I have to admit that it was a hard conversation with him. Let me assure you that there is nothing in the world that Nigel wants more than to be able to give you great World Title matches this weekend. He has worked his entire life to get to this spot and this is just terrible luck. However, it is for the best that Nigel uses this time to heal so he can be 100% when his World Title reign resumes. Nigel will be available for autographs before both the Philly and NYC events this weekend.

We apologize for the lineup change. We will have something posted soon with revised lineups for this weekend and huge news about “Final Battle” weekend. Thank you for your understanding during these difficult circumstances. We assure you that we will deliver two epic events this weekend. Thank you.

Oh wow. That friggin' sucks. Never mind my love of Nigel...that just sucks. But it's for the best.

But if he can be back for Final Battle and they don't take the title off of him, that's fine. It just builds up my anticipation for FB weekend.

And really, now that I'm thinking about it, correct me if I'm wrong, but Final Battle weekend is only four shows. So it's not like it's the end of the world.

I predict Nigel loses to Dragon at FB weekend, Dragon holds the belt till Nigel is back and Nigel gets his first big win over Dragon for the title when he comes back. Either that or Jimmy Jacobs causing havoc in ROH with the belt only to have his takeover stopped by Nigel would be huge too.

What kind of belt defense clause does TNA have. I know WWE has the 30 day one, but what is ROH's? I remember when Danielson was injured, he would only defend it once in a month so he wouldn't have to defend it again. But, Nigel won't be defending it in Novemeber.

Anyway, I hope Nigel gets better soon, and hopefully in the end, surgery won't be necessary.

Nothing against Nigel, but a title change AND Misawa would have been the bee's knees.

Who's to say that there still won't be a title change? Perhaps one involving a Japanese man in green trunks?

Yeah, yeah...I know, it's not going to happen. But it's fun to get your hopes up.

I think it would be safe to say he'll be in England recouping during that time. To feel better just bring a ring bell and confuse Delrious all night long.

So I'm going to have to wait for Hero to win the title until Final Battle?!

...okay, maybe I'm kidding myself. Final Battle '08.

(Although, I wouldn't be surprised if he got the belt sometime next year)

Thats to bad. I must admit, I could care less that Nigel has the title. ROH messed up. Morishima's reign should have been Nigel's. He was red hott, and probably one of the most talked about guys on the indy scene. Instead they give the title to Morishima, and let Nigel lose all that steam he built up, by losing consistently. I just did not buy the build to this reign, and my hope is he drops the title to Aries or Danielson asap.

I like Misawa, but if that happens, no one's gonna get it off of him.

Well, at least Nigel will be available for autographs. Anyone know what the going rate is there for them?

Plus Misawa wouldnt wear it in Japan. It's be embarassing to him.

I was actually implying that Misawa could lose the GHC title to KENTA, not that Misawa would somehow wind up with the ROH Title.
