Nigel McGuinness speaks on possibly returning to the ring.
Over the course of the past year or so, much has been made about a possible return to the ring for the AEW announcer, with a possible match with Bryan Danielson long been wanted by fans and Nigel alike.
While speaking to The Daily Star ahead of AEW All In, Nigel was asked if he is nearing closer to an in ring return.
"No, I wouldn’t say its looking more likely. I'm certainly ring-ready. I get in a ring every week now, sometimes twice a week. I’ve been in the gym and I’ve been eating right, getting my body back physically. I'm doing everything else you need to do to be ring ready, in terms of flexibility, etc. BUT my meat and veg, my bread is buttered with commentary, I don’t want to step away from that. Having said that, if the right opportunity for the match arrives, then absolutely. Obviously, to finally shut up that clam digger and finally prove after all these years that I was the better wrestler and that he only got what he got by pure chance, pure luck, not hard work and dedication. It would be marvellous. It certainly didn’t happen last year because he broke his arm. Even though he had 205 bones that were perfectly fine, he decided that was a reason. Then this year he won that competition and out of sympathy they’ve given him a match just to sent him out once more into the dark unknown. So, it wont be this year, certainly, but I don’t think its ever going to happen because he’s afraid of me. Have you seen my lariats? Have you seen his neck? Those two things don’t mix in any good way."
McGuinness is expected to feature as part of the announce team for AEW All In next weekend in Wembley Stadium.
In another seperate interview, Nigel discussed ending his career on his own terms. You can read more about that here.
