Outlook - Nigel McGuiness's career is such a strange case, but he's developed into an excellent indy worker and he has a lot of untapped potential. He grew up as a WWF fan, so he ventured to the US to train. He developed a unique style based on the basics, thanks to Les Thatcher, and British catch because McGuiness became a fan of such wrestlers. He was growing stagnant in the HWA, so he headed to the UK and furthered his European style. The Nigel that returned was ready to move on, so he got involved with the top indies and has really stepped up his work. McGuiness seems like someone who could eventually become the quintessential British wrestler if he's given a chance somewhere.
