Normally when a guest on The Kevin Steen Show sees the Kane Mask on set, it is always a great ice breaker, and Nigel McGuinness is no exception. Unlike all the other guests, the sight of the Kane Mask brings up a extremely low point in Nigel's life were he was forced to dress up like Kane himself on a tour in England. Somehow this story didn't make the cut on Nigel's great documentary, "The Last of McGuinness". Speaking of Nigel's documentary, Kevin digs even further into Nigel's thought process behind the project and some of the powerful issues that it brought up. Kevin even does some personal inventory of his own about his feelings on success and failure. Luckily for these searching souls, this episode was filmed on a couch that may or may not have been in a psychiatrist's office before it landed in Nigel's swank LA apartment. Anyways, we hope you are ready watch Steen dig deep into Nigel's psyche of our "mate" and yours, Nigel McGuinness on The Kevin Steen Show. Cheers!

Bryan Danielson has been referred to as the best wrestler in the world throughout his career and never was that more demonstrated than during his tenure in Ring of Honor. From his debut on ROH's very first event in 2002 until he parted ways in 2009, Danielson demonstrated his unique and varied abilities against every man in the ROH locker room and competitors from around the world.
For over 12 years Ring of Honor has been the company where wrestlers come to become great. With a constant roster full of the best wrestlers on the planet, ROH truly creates excellence.
Their rivalry is one of epic proportions in the history books of Ring of Honor. From their first meeting in the spring of 2006 until their final ROH match in the fall of 2009, Bryan Danielson and Nigel McGuinness engaged in one of the most legendary series of matches ROH had ever seen, or will likely ever see again.
Featuring Bryan Danielson's best WXW matches.
A Legend and an icon; the man known worldwide as Samoa Joe was one of the men upon whose hard work, drive, and determination Ring of Honor was built. His World Title reign set records that still stand, over 7 years since it was brought to an end, but what happens when something that epic comes to an end? This is that tale, the store of how Samoa Joe cemented his position as a true legend whose legacy is still felt to this day by every ROH wrestler, especially the World champions that have followed.
PWG Sells Out 2 is loaded with NINE HOURS of the best bouts in company history (23 matches in all).
From an unwanted outsider to an athletic marvel to a King of Wrestling, Chris Hero has come so far during his tenure in Ring of Honor and this is where it all started. This compilation includes over 20 of Hero's best matches & moments starting from his debut against Bryan Danielson that kicked off a 7 month war with CZW, his first tag title reign with Claudio Castagnoli, Chris' days with Sweet 'N' Sour Inc, and through the early days of "That Young Knockout Kid". Whether it be singles competition or in tag team matches, Hero has stepped into the ring with everyone from Samoa Joe to Nigel McGuinness, Roderick Strong to Lance Storm, and Austin Aries to The Briscoes just to name a few. He concusses with his kicks, he KO's with his elbows, and with all his successes in Ring of Honor, Chris can certainly claim that ROH actually stands for Ring of Hero...
From the day ROH opened its doors Bryan Danielson stood as one of the elite and over the seven years that followed, he established a legacy that endures to this day. So it was upon returning to the fold shortly after his epic World Title run came to a close that Danielson engaged in memorable bouts with men like Tyler Black, Claudio Castagnoli, Jerry Lynn, and then came the Final Countdown Tour...
While there are many individuals who have left their mark on Pro Wrestling Guerrilla, one of the biggest impressions has been left by "The Generic Luchadore" El Generic! Originally coming to PWG in hopes of earning a few pesos to keep the lights on in his family's single-room home, El Generico immediately exceeded his greatest expectations by catching on with the fans and becoming PWG World Champion. From that point on, he was able to purchase multiple single-room dwellings for his family members, and even expand into philanthropic efforts with his orphanage, Los Angelitos de El Generico.
The innovator of the Go 2 Sleep, a multi-time GHC champion in both the Junior Heavyweight Singles & Tag Divisons, one of the hardest-hitting individuals to ever enter the ROH ring, he is KENTA! KENTA debuted in Ring of Honor in late 2005 and immediately established himself as a force to be reckoned with in his GHC Jr. Heavyweight Title affair against Low Ki. With his crisp chops, vicious kicks, and lightning fast reflexes, KENTA was right at home in Ring of Honor, and it was those attributes that lead to his domination of ROH in 2006, culminating in the epic ROH World Title bout with Bryan Danielson. Whether it be Austin Aries, Rocky Romero, or Samoa Joe, nearly every one in ROH went toe-to-toe with KENTA and had the scars to prove it.
"Talent on loan from God" - that is how Alex Shelley referred to himself the night Generation Next made its debut in Philadelphia and given the amazing wrestling abilities he has displayed throughout his career, it's a nickname hard to discredit. Even before he helped found the group, during his tag team and subsequent rivalry with Jimmy Jacobs, Alex Shelley demonstrated gifts few wrestlers possess and it only blossomed further under the GenNext banner. Battles with Jay Lethal, Doug Williams, and Bryan Danielson honed his technical prowess and prepared Alex for what would come next as he was exiled from the group he founded...
From his highly anticipated debut to his traitorous betrayal of ROH, from his reigns as a vilified tag champion to the fans embracing him wholeheartedly, Claudio Castagnoli's career ran the gamut in Ring of Honor. Despite the swaying emotions of both the fans & Claudio himself, one thing that never changed was their respect for his skill, his power, his versatility, and their love for saying "Heeeeey"!
The career of former ROH World Champion Nigel McGuinness has been defined by the sacrifices he made for his love of professional wrestling. Whether it was outside the ring in his personal life, or inside the ring with his own body, he certainly paid a price in his pursuit of a dream, a dream Nigel achieved through his in-ring tenure with Ring of Honor.
A record setting Pure Champion and a record holding World Champion; through two dominant title reigns, Nigel McGuinness etched out his position in the Ring of Honor history books through pain and sacrifice.
