On the latest episode of 83 Weeks, Eric Bischoff talked about the lack of build for AEW World Heavyweight Champion Bryan Danielson vs. Nigel McGuinness at AEW Dynamite: Grand Slam. You can check out some highlights below: On the lack of build for Bryan Danielson vs.
Nigel McGuinness: “I’m just like 99.999% of the country who didn’t have any freaking clue, nor did we learn about it on Dynamite in the days and weeks leading up to this event. Which [in] typical AEW fashion, no backstory.
You know, great if you happen to be a Ring of Honor fan — if you’re one of the 300 people nationwide — you kind of knew that story. But if not, you don’t and this is just a rando match. Kind of a dream match; I’m not taking anything away from Nigel, I’m happy as hell for him.
