In a recent interview with The Daily Star, Nigel McGuinness, AEW commentator, shared his experiences and opinions about his work. He expressed his surprise and pleasure on being rated as the top commentator by PWI. He recollected how he valued being ranked sixth globally as a wrestler in 2009 and asserted the authenticity of PWI’s rankings. He jokingly narrated an incident of being pranked with laxatives by a fellow wrestler, Kid Pilchard, during his wrestling days.
McGuinness also revealed his favorite AEW wrestler to provide commentary for, that being Christian Cage. He described Christian as a perfect fit for his character on-screen and an inspiring figure off-screen, emphasizing his potential to influence younger wrestlers. McGuinness praised Christian and Adam Copeland for their ability to compete at the highest level while helping boost the profiles of those they work with.
He concluded by criticizing WWE’s apparent preference for youth and good looks, and appreciated AEW for giving opportunities to a diverse range of wrestlers. McGuinness finds commentating for Christian Cage particularly enjoyable and entertaining.
