Eric Bischoff Challenges Critics: Nigel McGuinness and Kevin Kelly Poised to Become Best Commentary Duo in Wrestling History
The debut episode of “AEW Collision” managed to do the seemingly impossible: it changed the perspective of one of its staunchest critics, Eric Bischoff. Bischoff, who had been vocal about his reservations regarding the upstart promotion, experienced a complete shift in opinion after witnessing the show’s impressive production. He specifically highlighted the commentary duo of Nigel McGuinness and Kevin Kelly as a standout element.

During his podcast “83 Weeks,” Bischoff couldn’t contain his enthusiasm for McGuinness and Kelly, labeling their performance as the most significant improvement in any aspect of a wrestling production he had seen in the last decade. The chemistry between the duo was undeniable, and Bischoff eagerly anticipated their growth and development in the coming weeks.
Recognizing that calling the action for a nationally-televised show in the United States was a new experience for McGuinness and Kelly, Bischoff emphasized the potential for their chemistry to improve as they settled into their roles. He went as far as challenging anyone to point him to a better color and play-by-play team once they found their groove, confidently stating that such a team didn’t exist.
Despite his high praise, Bischoff also offered constructive criticism. He suggested that Kevin Kelly, in particular, should focus more on play-by-play commentary and allow Nigel McGuinness, a former wrestler himself, to bring a deeper understanding of the talent’s mindset inside the ring.
As fans eagerly await future episodes of “AEW Collision,” the positive feedback from Bischoff has generated significant excitement. However, the announcement that Kevin Kelly would be temporarily absent due to his commitments with NJPW raised questions about his replacement during this period
