However, he reiterated that he is a huge fan of the Englishman and hopes to work with Nigel McGuinness again with Ring of Honor.
“I wanted to get together and experience working with him.I’m a huge fan of Nigel McGuinness. I reiterated that to him tonight. As a big fan of his both as a wrestler and commentator, it was an honour to spend time with him. I had never done that before until tonight. It was a great experience working with him, and I hope to do it again.”
“He has played a great role in the history of Ring of Honor, and now, it’s our turn to try and respect that history. I love the renaissance of the promotion — we’ve been able to take so much of the great history of ROH and bring back those elements, while also starting a new history for Ring of Honor. It’s been a dream come true for me.”
