Nigel McGuinness DVD set

[Vegas]

When the posted clue for this week's Tuesday ROH DVD release was "You have to be in it to win it," I of course figured it was going to be a Nigel McGuinness DVD set and that was indeed announced today:

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.

From his humble beginning in 2003, to his infamous Soccer Riot Match with Colt Cabana, and into his record setting reign as Pure Champion, McGuinness established himself as one of the premier athletes in ROH. Then, with his ROH World Title reign, and the battles against the likes of Austin Aries, Takeshi Morishima, and Tyler Black, Nigel cemented his legacy as one of the best to ever step foot in the ROH ring.

This unique 2-Disc DVD release is an introspective look at not only the bouts that defined Nigel McGuinness as an ROH Icon but at the man's thoughts, recollections, and reflections on the matches & moments that earned him that label. Join Nigel as he sits down with ROH cameras to share his innermost thoughts on a career that took him around the world and certainly touched the lives of a great many fans in the process.

DVD Bonus:

I also have The Best of Nigle McGuiness bonus DVD that was released as a bonus disc with Survival of the Fittest 2010. If I am not mistaken, the only two match repeats from it on this new DVD set release are Nigel's matches against Takeshi Morishima at Undeniable and against Austin Aries at Rising Above.

Although he is still with ROH as a TV commentator, Nigel McGuinness is definitely one of my personal favorite ROH alumni wrestlers and I am definitely going to get this DVD set. I regret I only got to see Nigel McGuiness wrestle live one time (it was his first match after he won the RoH World Championship and I sat in the font row and saw him wrestle Bryan Danielson at ROH's Survival of the Fittest 2007 which was won by Chris Hero here in Las Vegas at the Empire Ballroom on the Strip.)

Absolutely getting this. I never liked the Jawbreaker Lariat, but Nigel has been one of my favorites for awhile now.

I think he works great as a commentator as well.

I picked this up last night at Synergy in Chicago where they were selling all ROH DVDs for $15 (which at 25% off is even a little bigger discount than the 15% off I typically pay for DVDs through the ROH website.)

I saw a few people that bought this in Dayton but I didn't see it at all at the merch table so I picked up Death Before Dishonor VIII. Really want this DVD though.
