Chris Van Vliet recently interviewed Nigel McGuinness on his show, Insight With Chris Van Vliet. They covered a lot of ground.
During it, McGuinness spoke about the frequent use of blading and blood in AEW. His in-ring career ended after he was diagnosed with hepatitis B.
“It’s definitely difficult and it is sometimes a crisis of conscience for me. Oftentimes, I don’t know if it’s going to happen and sometimes it happens by accident. So it’s certainly something I’ve thought of, and I feel very comfortable in the sense that I don’t feel I will ever be forced to do commentary in a match I didn’t feel comfortable doing so.
“It’s something that I think that maybe I will address moving forward. I’m not sure. Again, it’s hard for me to say because pre getting it myself, I would have said it’s no big deal. In the time since nobody else has tested positive so it’s hard for me to say just because of me, one example.”
