Nigel McGuinness spoke with Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated’s “Undisputed” about his upcoming IWGP World Heavyweight Championship match against Zack Sabre Jr. at AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door.
“I’ve dealt with the disappointment, the regret, and the failure. A decade ago, never once did I dream that I’d ever have any sort of opportunity like this. I thought this ship had sailed and my career was over. If it weren’t for Tony Khan, none of it would have happened. I owe Tony and this company so, so much. This is the opportunity to live out my dreams.”
He also had high praise for his opponent.
“I’m wrestling this respected, world-renowned heavyweight champion. I get to test my wits against the greatest technical wrestler of all time, and it’s not Bryan Danielson. It is Zack Sabre Jr. He is one of the very few handful of guys that made his name in his own style. To reach the levels he has, I’m amazed. He’s the top man in Japan.”
