The Last Of McGuinness Review

I was pretty shocked when I heard Nigel McGuinness was retiring from active wrestling last year.  People said it was from injuries, but something didn't seem quite right. 

Well now you can hear it straight from the horse's mouth.  What was the real reasoning?  The sad realization for one man who feels he was a failure for not completing his life-long dream only due to circumstances beyond his control.  Can he come to grips with life beyond wrestling? 

From my perspective (and pretty much everyone's), it's really sad to think what could have been.  His fellow cohorts Austin Aries, Tyler Black, Bryan Danielson, and CM Punk are all on top of the business right now.  Nigel should very well be there too, he is that good.  All but CM Punk make an appearance on the documentary, which makes it more enjoyable for the more casual wrestling fan, as well as showing the fact that these guys were in the same place Nigel was, and that you can make it against overwhelming odds even if you don't fit WWE's "mold". 

You should really check out this documentary about what happens when a man, despite giving his life to something, has to deal with the fact that things didn't end up how he intended.  Then the fallout of having to totally reinvent your life, against your own wishes.
