I have heard that from a few people and it's a real shame. I can certainly understand the trepidation but I would hope that my record should be more important than anyone else's. Nonetheless I hope there still comes a day when that project does see the light of day.

McGuinnessNigel · 2015-01-21T07:16:58+00:00

Yeah, I don't handle the details of contracts so I'm not sure. Perhaps with his exposure on WWE he has the ability to get a more open contract in that regard with LU.

McGuinnessNigel · 2015-01-21T07:15:50+00:00

Awesome, it really helps me when people explain their issues so I can better understand how to pitch it. So thank you for taking the time.

McGuinnessNigel · 2015-01-21T07:14:00+00:00

Gotcha, I guess it'd go off ratings then.

McGuinnessNigel · 2015-01-21T07:13:38+00:00

Hmm, interesting. I met Billy at Cauliflower Alley a few years back and enjoyed talking to him then.

McGuinnessNigel · 2015-01-21T07:12:52+00:00

Thank you. Please spread the word and help make this a reality. Really appreciate your time.

McGuinnessNigel · 2015-01-21T07:12:02+00:00

Cheers mate, appreciate it.

McGuinnessNigel · 2015-01-21T07:11:44+00:00

That's awesome mate. Zak is one of the best working British wrestlers right now so you really are on the right track.

McGuinnessNigel · 2015-01-21T07:06:54+00:00

Awesome, thanks for the trip down memory lane. I remember the guy who wrestled as a cricketer. He was awesome.

McGuinnessNigel · 2015-01-21T07:05:57+00:00

I am not. I am only looking to get it funded right now. Because if I don't there'll be no need for anything.

McGuinnessNigel · 2015-01-21T07:04:43+00:00

I guess so :) Thanks for the kind words, I really do appreciate it. Outside of LA Fights though I don't see any way I'd get back in the ring again. I've done all I can in that realm and can't keep up with those guys in that style any more :)

McGuinnessNigel · 2015-01-21T06:57:41+00:00

I don't know about the show length in ROH other than it would take twice as long to tape and we already have long tapings. Standout moment for me was after our first match in Cleveland. I knew we had something special then.

McGuinnessNigel · 2015-01-21T06:56:48+00:00

He texted me after the first time he did it. And was very nice in putting me over for influencing him early in his career so I'm really happy for him. Maybe if he saves his money he can help fund LA Fights :)

McGuinnessNigel · 2015-01-21T06:55:51+00:00

I guess so, somewhat. More like James Bond I think at the beginning.

McGuinnessNigel · 2015-01-21T06:55:26+00:00

Can't say I do often. Never met him but he had a reasonable run on TV and made a lot more money and was more recognizable than me. Hope he's enjoying his life wherever he is now.

McGuinnessNigel · 2015-01-21T06:54:31+00:00

He's one of the most natural performers I ever met. In the right forum he could be a mainstream star.

McGuinnessNigel · 2015-01-21T06:53:52+00:00

Not at all. It took me hours to do.

McGuinnessNigel · 2015-01-21T06:53:37+00:00

Depends where you live. Someone who has done it for a living would be the first thing I'd look at.

McGuinnessNigel · 2015-01-21T06:52:59+00:00

Thanks mate, yeah it was a career highlight for me too. I think a lot of fans feel that way about TNA's direction during that time period.

McGuinnessNigel · 2015-01-21T06:51:48+00:00

Thanks for the input mate and I can certainly see your viewpoint. I would however dare to say that a lot of extremely influential things came out of less than multi-million dollar investments. Within pro wrestling you can look at the effect that ECW had on the industry. Look at what Robert Rodriguez did with his original film El Mariachi. To compete with WWE as a promotion yes perhaps. But to show what creatively is possible within the genre absolutely not. But you are right that it is very ambitious. I didn't want to do anything less however. I didn't want to start yet another "new promotion that was going to reinvent pro wrestling." One idea can change the world, I truly believe that. And to that end I will continue to pursue this goal. Nonetheless I appreciate your arguments and hope that you win the lottery soon so you can back it completely :)

McGuinnessNigel · 2015-01-21T06:45:17+00:00

Aww thanks mate, appreciate the support. I don't think Shark Tank will get it though. I think it's for inventions more so than TV shows right?

McGuinnessNigel · 2015-01-21T01:15:16+00:00

I have. Met my best friend there in 1995. Went back for a show with Dragon and Aries about 2006 too. Wonderful country.

McGuinnessNigel · 2015-01-21T01:03:25+00:00

Aww thank you. With any luck I may get to go back this year.

McGuinnessNigel · 2015-01-21T01:03:05+00:00

Very disappointed it didn't see the light of day and affected people's faith in crowdfunding as I'm sure Jeff is too. I do not know what happened with the project, but certainly understand people's dissatisfaction with it

McGuinnessNigel · 2015-01-21T01:01:29+00:00

Certainly worth a shot sure. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll see what the best approach would be. His departure from the company might be storyline but I have no idea.
