The 49-year-old revealed that other stars in AEW deserved more opportunities than he did, which was a major reason for his working a part-time schedule. Moreover, he also did not see any benefit in becoming a full-time wrestler for the company at this point in his career."I don't think there's any benefit to me wrestling a full-time schedule. With the part-time schedule that I'm currently on, if an opportunity presents itself and it makes sense from a storyline perspective, then I'll do it...I love doing it, but not full-time. There's too many guys on the roster anyway, younger guys who deserve more of those spots than me,” McGuinness said [H/T: WrestlePurists on X]With the former WWE personnel signing on the dotted line, it will be interesting to see what is next for him in AEW.
