IMO, Magnus just doesn't has "it" as a singles wrestler. Yeah, he looks good, he can talk, he's young, but in the ring, there's just no fire, no energy, no charisma. He goes from one move to the other, he hits them competently, but he always has the same pace, the same level of energy, whether he hits a clothesline, give a punch, or uses his finisher. His matches lack the ups and downs of a great match, the flourishes a great wrestler brings to the table, the attitude, and so on.
The guy is a solid hand in a team or as part of a stable, but he never found his character, and never managed to put everything together during his solo runs.

The timing is never better for him in NXT as well as Mickie being welcomed back, the UK title being defended on NXT TV (maybe to become the brands midcard title) means the story for his debut writes itself. Either he isn't interested or someone behind the scenes doesn't see anything in him. I'd be inclined to go for the former, they've signed much worse than Magnus. If it is the case that he's not interested, or even worse turned them down, he must be the biggest moron going. He'll be back in panto as bloody Aladdin by Christmas.

Always liked Magnus. He's someone that was slowly coming into his own over the years but making him Champ was probably a mistake. His tag team with Joe was good. I think he was in a "face" version of the MEM with Sting and they tried to start a feud with the two that did not go anywhere.
In a depleted roster like TNA has right now, getting someone like him is a bonus. You need a stronger midcard at the very least.

WWE should hire him, but only if he wears that.

Considering TNA helped ruin his career and any prospects of WWE hiring him, might as well and get a check from Anthem because I don't see how GFW barely existing is paying the bills. Magnus used have a spark but Dixieland snuff that sumbitch out.

It's a nothing signing. The ship has sailed for Magnus way back in 2013. Had tons of potential and the powers that be over at TNA messed it up. Bring in new faces and build up a brand new set of characters instead of hiring all the people that WWE (Or anyone else really) don't want.
