 McGuinness also had a malapropistic gimmick in ROH of mispronouncing words.An example would be at "Survival of the Fittest 2005" in Dorchester, Massachusetts, when he said the fans appreciated him as much as "their beloved Boston Red Stockings".During the rest of 2006, McGuinness was mostly uninvolved in the war between ROH and Combat Zone Wrestling (CZW), instead developing a new gimmick where he would win his matches by countout by using (often unfair) methods of preventing opponents from returning to the ring.
