AEW executive Tony Khan announced the signing of Nigel McGuinness on Wednesday. McGuinness debuted as a surprise member of the ROH Supercard of Honor broadcast team with Ian Riccaboni and Caprice Coleman.
Powell’s POV: There’s no word yet as to what role McGuinness will play in AEW/ROH. Riccaboni and Coleman do terrific work together and I prefer two-man broadcast teams, but I also enjoyed their work with McGuinness during the Supercard of Honor show.
Nigel McGuiness is a legend in pro wrestling, and now @McGuinnessNigel is All Elite!

Another question that merits an honest answer. Just how many broadcasters/wrestlers does Tony the Khan Man need? His roster is so over-bloated it needs several trocars just to let some of the gas out.
Well, he does have FIVE shows (Dynamite, Rampage, ROH, Dark, Dark Elevation) and a rumored Saturday show to come. I think the better question is why he has so many shows. The Saturday show should be named AEW Overkill.
And he still has almost 20 years & counting to match the tenure of the red-headed stepchild (according to all wrestling “journalists”) Impact wrestling. When AEW tops 20+ years, then Khan will have something to crow about & keep adding talent.
This again? I’m happy you enjoy Impact. So do I. But this victim card you keep playing for Impact is nonsense. If you’re so bothered by what wrestling “journalists” (as you put it) write, then stop reading them. I give and read plenty of love for Impact when its warranted. I think you just get off on acting like you are president of the victim club. Oh, and should WWE and NJPW fans look down their noses at Impact for only being around for 20-plus years?
