DESMOND WOLFE TALKS ABOUT WHERE HIS NAME CAME FROM, WORKING WITH KURT ANGLE, HIS HEALTH AND MORE

By Buck Woodward on 2009-10-23 14:47:23

The Daily Star in the UK has an interview up with new TNA star Desmond Wolfe at this link.  Here's a few highlights from the man formerly known as Nigel McGuinness. 

On where the new name came from: 

"Everyone is asking me where I got the name from - someone said Withnail and I - but Vince said he did an internet search of the most popular British names and came up with Desmond Wolfe!"

On getting to make his debut against Kurt Angle: 

"Who gets the opportunity to come in on their first day and beat up Angle, I mean that's huge! Kurt has been great, just like everyone else - he's really open to ideas."

On whether he went to TNA because he failed a WWE medical screening:

"I had a clean bill of health from my orthopedic guy and my local doctor, so it's not about that. I don’t hold against anything against them, it was a business decision, and  they were only doing what they think is best for them."

It should be noted that Nigel/Desmond never actually says in the interview why WWE made that "business decision" to not bring him in.
