Tony Schiavone calls AEW commentator the “best color analyst” he has ever worked with
AEW commentator Tony Schiavone recently made a big claim on the latest What Happened When podcast regarding his All Elite Wrestling colleague Nigel McGuinness.
McGuinness was on the show to watch some older Bryan Danielson matches with Schiavone and co-host Conrad Thompson. Nigel stayed in character pretty much the entire time, absolutely ripping into Danielson and even at one point claiming that the American Dragon PAID for the Best Technical Wrestler award in the Wrestling Observer Awards to be changed to the Bryan Danielson Award (sorry Nige but he didn’t, and he also doesn’t have any saucy pictures of Dave).
Tony Schiavone on Nigel McGuinness
Tony was absolutely glowing when it came to his praise for the former Ring of Honor Champion, saying that he is the best color commentator/analyst that he has ever worked with:
“Nigel is probably the best color analyst I’ve ever worked with, and I’ve worked with a lot of them. I say this because no one is prepared to do his job like Nigel McGuinness is. I know that I do not have to always get you [Nigel] up to date on the storylines, because I know Nigel is always prepared to do that [himself]. That means a lot to a guy in my position. An old guy can’t remember everything, and I can always lean on Nigel because he’s got these notes. That’s why I think he’s the best”
