He's In: AEW Confirms Signing Of Former World Champion

He’s in. There are a lot of different things that come together to make a wrestling show work. While the wrestlers themselves are the focal point, there are several other on-screen personalities who can plan major roles. This includes the commentary team, who can guide the fans through the show as they watch. Now another former World Champion has officially joined a high level team.

McGuinness is a heck of a talent. Check out what he has done in both of his careers:

Opinion: That is a big get for AEW as McGuinness is someone who has been around wrestling at a high level for the last several years. He is one of the most accomplished stars in Ring Of Honor history and has done commentary for the biggest promotion in the world for years. It makes all the sense in the world to bring in someone with that kind of resume and experience and AEW got this one right.
