Speaking on a recent episode of his “83 Weeks” podcast, Eric Bischoff highly praised the commentary work of Kevin Kelly and Nigel McGuinness on AEW Collision, considering it the most significant improvement in production he has witnessed in a decade. He stated,
“I thought it was the freshest, most significant improvement in any one element of an overall production than anything I’ve seen in probably 10 years. It was that good, and this is their first time out. I know, they both respectively have had plenty of experience doing this, but together on this show live. New show, pressure, live, first time really working together, I think.”
Bischoff further expressed excitement to hear them continue to excel in their roles, anticipating further improvement as they develop their chemistry and rhythm. He confidently stated that he couldn’t find a better color and play-by-play team currently in the industry. Bischoff added,
“Here’s what I thought, ‘I can’t wait to hear them a month from now.’ If they were that good Saturday night, once they get their groove and their rhythm together after doing it a few times. Point me to another, potentially, not there, yet, point me to a better color and play-by-play team and I’ll tell you that you’re wrong.”
It’s worth noting that Kevin Kelly and Nigel McGuinness have previously worked together as announcers in Ring of Honor for a short while.
Meanwhile, Jim Ross’ status for AEW Collision remains unknown for now.
