Nigel McGuinness Became My “Tuesdays with Morrie”

By Scott Keith on 9 October 2013

Hey Scott,

I recently interviewed Nigel McGuinness on blading and life after wrestling, but he bestowed some fascinating wisdom for college students and athletes whose careers are curtailed.

Thank you,

I absolutely agree on one hand that blading is barbaric and I don't even miss it with it gone. But on the other hand, I really wish they would stop doing HIAC and building up the false hope that someone was gonna tap an artery to sell the brutality. It's just not the same anymore and the PPV doesn't sell any more tickets on the name, so they might as well drop it completely and save it for super-special occasions.

And yeah, guys like Nigel and Chris Nowinski are doing amazing work and are directly to thank for all the safety precautions now built into the WWE training system.
