Nigel McGuinness and Bryan Danielson’s rivalry goes back over a decade and is one of the most legendary Ring Of Honor feuds of all time. Now, the pair both work on the announce desk for All Elite Wrestling after facing off one last time last year.
While speaking to Pario Magazine in a new interview, Bryan Danielson was asked if his rivalry with Nigel will continue on the announce desk, with Bryan noting he wants to do the exact opposite of what Nigel does.
“So one of the things that I really enjoyed doing at Forbidden Door, cause I got to do commentary for Nigel McGuinness against Zack Sabre Jr. I made it a very distinct point in my mind to be like, I’m not going to do what Nigel does. Nigel buries me at every opportunity that he can, and I’m going to be, oh, he’s one of my greatest rivals. Do nothing but put him over. Just shower him with praise. That’s kind of the fun bit. Nigel and I have a great relationship in the sense of like, and that’s our real relationship backstage. He gives me as much crap as he possibly can and I do nothing but put him over.”
Elsewhere in the same interview, Danielson revealed how he found out about his new gig with All Elite Wrestling. You can read more about that here.
