Former ROH Star Nigel McGuinness Expresses Regret Over Lack of Tony Khan’s Involvement During ROH’s Early Years

Nigel McGuinness, the English-legend of professional wrestling, expressed his excitement over the strong representation of Ring of Honor (ROH) on the upcoming AEW All In pay-per-view card. In a recent interview with WrestleTalk, McGuinness discussed the potential involvement of the ROH tag team titles in the main event and how it could elevate the brand’s profile.

If Adam Cole and MJF win the titles and become the Ring of Honor Tag Team Champions in the main event, it would be a huge boost for the company. McGuinness acknowledged that ROH has always faced the challenge of having great talent and innovative wrestling style but not enough exposure. He mentioned that in the early 2000s, ROH was a company that revolutionized the industry but struggled to gain widespread recognition.

Reflecting on the past, McGuinness expressed his desire for AEW President Tony Khan’s involvement during ROH’s growth period. He believed that with Khan’s support, ROH could have reached a bigger stage. However, he also acknowledged that the landscape has changed significantly, with many ROH wrestlers now being top stars in various companies, which has led to a more homogenized wrestling style across the industry.

McGuinness posed the question of how ROH can differentiate itself in today’s wrestling landscape when the in-ring style is similar to that of other promotions. He emphasized the need for ROH to find its unique identity in order to stand out.

In a recent report, it was speculated that Nigel McGuinness might make a return to the ring. For more details on this potential comeback, click here.

It is evident that McGuinness holds a deep appreciation for ROH’s history and wishes that someone like Tony Khan had been present during the pivotal moments of the company’s growth. While ROH continues to navigate the challenges of standing out in a crowded wrestling landscape, the presence of its tag team titles in the AEW All In pay-per-view represents a significant opportunity to raise its profile.
