WWE United Kingdom Championship: 5 Breakout Performers in Part One

Honorary Mention to the Color Commentator, Nigel McGuinness

Nigel McGuinness has wrestled all over the world. He is a forefather of the wrestling rebirth in the UK, and a big reason these men were given this opportunity.

McGuinness made his name in Ring of Honor, and is one of the greatest world champions in ROH history. He also enjoyed a bit of success in TNA and Pro Wrestling Noah, but it all came crashing down to health issues.

However, McGuinness was given an opportunity in his own right with this tournament.

McGuinness, who has some experience at a wrestling announce table, sat alongside Michael Cole to call this tournament. Both men did a tremendous job and deserve a ton of credit for helping make the performers in the ring come across as stars.

McGuinness brought a British feel to the broadcast that none of the other WWE announcers could have done justice to. Plus, he brought out something in Cole that we don’t always get to see when he gets lost in all the extra stuff that comes along with announcing Monday Night Raw.

I’m very excited to see what they have next for McGuinness when this tournament is over.
