On the latest episode of 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff talked about his hope that Nigel McGuinness doesn’t wrestle again after his AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam match with World Champion Bryan Danielson on September 25th. You can check out some highlights below:
On Nigel McGuinness: “I’m hoping that this is a one-off for Nigel, and he gets to put a period at the end of the sentence from his in-ring performance. Because he’s so freaking good at color [commentary], I would hate to lose him as a color commentator so that we can have him in the ring. Not taking anything away from his inn-ring abilities or what he could bring to the table.”
On Nigel having a bigger future as a color commentator: “I think his future in such a big way is in commentary. Because he’s — for my taste, and what I enjoy out of color commentating, I think he’s one of the best. I really do. Of the current crop. Nigel would be — if I was starting a wrestling company tomorrow, Nigel would be one of the first calls I would make when it came to looking for color commentary. Because he’s really good.”
