"Although it was rumored that former Ring of Honor star Nigel McGuinness has signed with the WWE, he actually signed with TNA. He was present at last night's TNA iMPACT! taping in Orlando, Fla. He will debut with a new name. "

The experts didn't get it wrong. The word is that WWE was taking too long to offer him a contract. He had just agreed in principle to a contract with WWE, but nothing was ever signed. Thus, his move to TNA and believe me.. I'm stoked about this.
Rumor also has it that Bryan Danielson is in the same boat and we may see him in TNA very soon as well.
If they were smart, they would get on the schtick and snag up the other great preformers they have.
UPDATE:
- We noted last night that Nigel McGuinness was telling people at last night's iMPACT tapings that he didn't sign with WWE because they took too long to send him his contract. However, Prowrestling.net reports that it's confirmed he failed WWE's pre-screening test and WWE pulled their verbal offer to him and never offered him an actual contract.
The story goes that this was not the case of Nigel failing a drug test, but a medically related test that caused WWE to shy away from signing him. TNA does not have a pre-screening test for their incoming talents.

Because TNA wants to own the copy right on the names, just like WWE does.
