"I am gonna take my spot in Pro Wrestling History"

Nigel McGuinness: "[Fans chanten 'Still our champ'] You know, those chants are nice, they're all well and good. But they ain't gonna put that belt back around my waist. The only person that can do that is stood right here in the ring now. You know, being Ring Of Honor World Champion is lot like shagging a porn star. You're really proud, everybody's kind of jealous, but you never know quite how long you're gonna be able to last. You see, one week after I got the belt I tore my left bicep. And two months later my first match back I got a concussion and 25 stitches in my face. And the very next night, when I couldn't perform because of my injuries, the fans turned on me. And one particular fan looked my right in the eye and laughed and said 'FU Nigel, when are you gonna lose the belt?' So I want you to look me in the eye, when I tell you, at that instant I made myself a promise. When am I gonna lose the belt? As long as there is one wanker in the crowd, who doubts me - Never! And for the next fourteen months of my life I battled injuries and every top contender they put in front of me. To help make the Ring Of Honor World Title what it is today! And if you don't believe me, slap me in the face and call me a liar, if it ain't the truth!

Until Houston, Texas, Geritol Lynn had another shot. Both of my arms pretty much destroyed, dangling from my body, still I would not quit! Until I looked out into the crowd and I realized at that one moment, there wasn't one person who could doubt me anymore. And with that came a wave of relief. And Jerry Lynn, he hooked that cradle piledriver and he beat me clean in the middle of the ring. Now, whatever you might feel about Jerry Lynn, that makes him the man in Ring Of Honor. And like Ric Flair says, to be the man, whoo, you've got to beat the man. You see, Ric Flair was synonymous with World Champion. Not because he never lost the belt, but because when he did, he brushed himself up, he stood up and he was still the man in this ring! And so that is what I am gonna do. I'm gonna heal up, I've taken some time, I'm gonna come back and I am gonna take my spot in Pro Wrestling History! You doubted me before, do not make that mistake again! I am Nigel McGuinness and I am in it... to win it! And it's gonna be real."
