Lee Moriarty Reflects On Facing Nigel McGuinness At ROH Final Battle

Yesterday at 03:13 PM

ROH Pure Champion Lee Moriarty shares his thoughts on facing Nigel McGuinness at ROH Final Battle.

McGuinness answered Moriarty’s open challenge at ROH Final Battle. In doing so, he returned to the ROH ring for his first match with the company since he stepped away from in-ring competition in 2011. Moriarty ultimately emerged victorious.

At the ROH Final Battle post-show media scrum, Lee Moriarty was asked whether he thought that facing Nigel McGuinness was a possibility heading into the match. He noted that he hadn’t thought about it.

“I honestly didn't think about it at all,” he said. “Nigel McGuinness [is] someone I've been in the ring with in the past year as he's been getting back into wrestling. So even in that time, it never crossed my mind that I would be wrestling him, and that was such a cool moment, hearing his music and seeing him walk out. I couldn't even contain my excitement. The camera caught me jumping up and down, I was like, I want this.

“But as you were saying, with all the different styles, that's something Tony and I have talked anout. I think Pure Rules is about elevating your chosen style of professional wrestling. You don't just have to be a technical wrestler. You can be any style of wrestler. What the Pure Rules does is it teaches you to be a better version of yourself. These things aren't limitations, they're how you grow and get better.”
