A swaggering London native with peroxide hair and a Johnny Rotten attitude, McGuinness entered the ring to a blistering Oasis anthem and attacked his opponents with the recklessness of a soccer hooligan after a losing game. His series of bouts against Bryan in the mid-2000s were so unrelentingly physical that you watch them and wonder why the cops didn\u2019t intervene mid-match.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Injuries brought an early end to McGuinness\u2019 career, but his influence is present in WWE today, whether you knew it or not. Seth Rollins cites him as a key opponent in his evolution as a ring performer, and the wild rebound lariat Dean Ambrose throws with abandon on SmackDown LIVE is done in tribute to the great McGuinness.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Outside of his in-ring physicality, McGuinness possessed great intelligence and ring acumen, which he used to his benefit in retirement as he transitioned to the announce booth. He\u2019ll bring those skills to the WWE United Kingdom Championship Tournament on January 14 &amp; 15, 2017, live on WWE Network, and the WWE Universe will finally be introduced to one of England\u2019s \u2014 and sports-entertainment\u2019s \u2014 greats.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Welcome <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/McGuinnessNigel?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@McGuinnessNigel<\/a> to the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WWE?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@WWE<\/a> as part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WWE?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@WWE<\/a> UK Championship Tournament! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WWEUK?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@WWEUK<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/BjVq87vla1\">pic.twitter.com\/BjVq87vla1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; WWE (@WWE) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WWE\/status\/809358953708744704?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 15, 2016<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><em>(Quelle: WWE)<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Triple H hat am heutigen Donnerstag, den 15.
