Magnus Thinks TNA Didn’t Believe He Had a Concussion

– Nick Aldis, the former Magnus, appeared on Vince Russo’s The Brand podcast for a new interview. During the interview, he said that TNA management asked him to work when he had a concussion and that he thinks executive John Gaburick didn’t believe he had one.

Aldis said, “The night I won the title in the match with Jeff (Hardy) I got a concussion. I never had one before, I’ve never had one since. It was a rotten concussion–one of those where I was on auto-pilot for the rest of the mach. At one point I went to the corner, grabbed Jeff and said, ‘I hurt my head–talk to me I don’t know what’s going on’. We still went through the whole thing, so no one could tell. You become a victim of your own success at TNA. I think because I did such a good job of covering it up . . . I always felt that there was this element that Big (John Gaburick) didn’t buy it . . .like he really didn’t think that I got hurt. I was thinking to myself–why would I pretend to get hurt on the night I won the World Title? What could I possibly be trying to avoid?”
