Nigel McGuinness made an epic return to in-ring action for the first time in 13 years at AEW All In London! He describes how it all happened, what it was like to compete in the Casino Gauntlet match, and how it felt to receive the incredible pop from the fans! Nigel also has stories about his early days wrestling in the UK, why his first WWE tryout did not end as he’d hoped, his initial reaction to the 2017 phone call from WWE’s Michael Cole to join the company’s broadcast team, and what he learned during his 6-year run there. He discusses his battle with Hepatitis B, the bicep injury that kept him out of the ring, the opportunity afforded him by TNA, his close friendship with Bryan Danielson, the conversation with Colt Cobana that inspired Nigel’s self-made documentary, and how he became a magician.
