Int Region, New York Subregion, First Round:(1) Steve Austin vs. (32)Nigel McGuinness

May 2024 ยท 1 minute read

With the whole McGuinness Retirement Tour coming up, I expect him to get one or two votes from die hard ROH fans, but Austin advances.


:disappointed:

That's a comedy tour, not a wrestling tour.

Nigel McGuinness was at one point my favorite wrestler on the planet. Still ranked very highly despite retirement, but I found him to be the entire package. Phenomenal technical wrestler, good character, good talker, had an aura about him that just made him unique. Hepetitis B screwed up his career but hes cleared now, which is good for the man, but chooses not to wrestle simply because its not worth injurying himself further to achieve a dream of wrestling in the WWE when theres little chance left of it happening.

With a heavy heart, much like with DBD and Lawler, SCSA takes this. Austin is... well, Austin. Nigel would out-wrestle Austin but Steve would just beat the daylights out of Nigel. If you could get these two in their prime against one another It'd actually be entertaining as hell, kinda similar in-terms of character.
