Nigel McGuinness has detailed his inspiration for a Bryan Danielson insult that caught the attention of many fans.
The AEW announcer has let his feelings be known about The American Dragon many times during Collision and has kept compliments strictly to a minimum. While Danielson’s injuries have become a common subject of McGuinness’ insults, the announcer and former wrestler once brought family into the equation when he said “Bryan Danielson used to be vegan but he couldn’t give up eating Brie”, seemingly a reference to Danielson’s wife Brie Garcia.
Speaking with Chris Van Vliet, McGuinness stated that it was an insult he saw on social media and managed to get past the PC check, despite the fact he was only talking about cheese:
“I wish I could take credit for that one, but unfortunately, no. [Who gets the credit?] The beauty of social media I think someone must have posted it on Twitter about a year or so ago. Something like that. Well, that sounds like a fun line. I wasn’t sure whether I could use it because I’ve had a lot of lines that I always run everything by Bobby Cruise before the show because he’s a good sort of barometer of whether this is politically correct enough or not. That one got through the Cruise-ometer [So you were talking about cheese right?] Talking about cheese. There were some upset people in France but can’t please everyone.”
