Dave Prazak talks Danielson vs. McGuinness.
At AEW Dynamite Grand Slam, Bryan Danielson and Nigel McGuinness will meet in the ring for the first time since 2009. Notably, this will be McGuinness’ first time competing in a singles match since 2011.
McGuinness has often talked about his jealousy of Danielson and how he went on to have the career that he should have had.
While speaking to Busted Open Radio for a new interview, Dave Prazak gave his thoughts on the match, saying that he doesn’t believe McGuinness has anything to prove to the world. Prazak was notably on the call for many bouts between Danielson and McGuinness in ROH.
“There was magic every time that Danielson and McGuinness got in the ring against one another and it happened on so many different occasions in the ROH days. They did trade wins back and forth, I know that Nigel feels that he has something to prove, he wants to get some closure on his in-ring wrestling career by having that one more match with Bryan Danielson and proving that he is better than the American Dragon. In my opinion, I don’t think that Nigel really needs to prove that, I mean he’s certainly proved that he’s on the very same level as Danielson and on certain nights was the better man, but you know, that was fifteen years ago. I certainly hope he’s able to get that closure that he wants in the match coming up at Arthur Ashe this week.”
