First, Lee Moriarty, who beat McGuinness and defended his ROH Pure Championship. Since then, in commentary, McGuinness has been unwavering in his support for the master of Taiga Style. In McGuinness\u2019s last match, he teamed with Daniel Garcia. However, mutual respect will be shoved aside when the bell goes.
