There Is No Replacing Charles Barkley / June 17, 2024 Charles Barkley announced his intention to retire from broadcasting at the end of the 2024-25 NBA season on Friday night following Game 4 of the NBA Finals. Barkley, the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame inductee as a player whose second act has seen him become arguably the most well-known pundit in sports history, said that regardless of what happens with the next NBA media rights deal, he plans on calling it a career. Charles Barkley announces retirement: "No matter what happens, next year's gonna be my last year on television" pic.twitter.com/kXvYacIntK — New York Basketball (@NBA_NewYork) June 15, 2024 “I talked to all the other networks, but I ain't going nowhere other than TNT,” Barkley said. “But, I have made the decision myself, no matter what happens, next year is going to be my last year on television. And I just want to say thank you to my NBA family, you guys been great to me, my heart is full with joy and gratitude. But, I'm gonna pass the baton at the end of next year” Saying that there will be a void left by Barkley's departure — assuming that he does, indeed, hang up his headset after what will assuredly be a year of other networks putting on the full-court press to get him to change his mind — is a gigantic understatement. Barkley was a spectacular basketball player, but several generations of basketball fans know him primarily as the guy who sits all the way to the right on TNT's NBA studio desk — following his retirement at the end of the 1999-2000 season, Barkley joined Inside the NBA and has spent the last 24 years with Turner. Because we live in a society where the next thing is always the most important one, there's one question that comes to mind: Whether it's Turner or, more likely, one of the networks (Amazon, ESPN, NBC) that are going to get broadcast rights in the next television deal , who is going to fill the void left by Charles Barkley? The answer, pretty simply, is no one. As Barkley mentioned in his announcement, he had conversations with the other networks about bringing him on board as a contributor once the new TV deal goes into effect at the start of the 2025-26 season. That's because everyone understands the value of having him on the air — few people on television, let alone on sports television, are as charismatic as Barkley. You can find someone better at breaking down the finer points of the game — Barkley isn't going to do a detailed breakdown of the Blazers coverage against a Spain pick-and-roll set or something — but Barkley just inherently knows how to make good TV. There is no forced effort, no switch he has to flip once he arrives at Studio J to shine. Instead, he simply makes TV magic by being The Chuckster at all times, and never compromising on that in any way. That's ultimately what makes trying to replace him impossible. Barkley is not someone who goes out there and tries to be good on TV, he just … is. The Charles Barkley that you see on TNT is the Charles Barkley you get in interviews ( just with less cursing ), and I would guess is the Charles Barkley you get if you run into him at a Home Depot or something. There is an effortlessness to his ability to get on a set, grab a microphone, and say things that people enjoy, which stems from the fact that he doesn't seem to care that there's a camera on him. Take, for example, when he showed up on ESPN's set during the Stanley Cup Final between the Florida Panthers and the Edmonton Oilers last week. The whole thing worked because you can put Barkley on any TV show and he'll have it bend to his will, not because he's forcing any action, but because he is a one-of-a-kind magnetic personality and when he's on the air, you let the show go in whatever direction you want. It's the reason why an NBA player can go on an NHL studio show and it's still fun to watch, or Saturday Night Live can do an Inside the NBA sketch and everyone, regardless of whether they're a basketball fan, can find it hilarious. There will presumably be efforts to try and replicate what Barkley brings to television to one extent or another. If Turner is able to keep an NBA package and Inside the NBA goes away, the thought for years has been that Draymond Green would slide into Barkley's seat on the desk (even if that's not quite right ), while Vince Carter, Jamal Crawford, and Candace Parker are all very good on television and have experience on studio shows. Should TNT fail to land a piece of the pie, NBC, Amazon and ESPN, which has frequently drawn the ire of basketball fans for its inability to put together a compelling NBA studio show despite multiple tries, should all make overtures to those four names. However, none of them stand much of a chance if they are tasked with being the next Chuck. The important thing is that whether it's any of those individuals or someone else who is in the ex-player media sphere and gets identified as a name to watch — this is where I suggest ESPN going in the complete opposite direction from what it has always done and giving Jeff Teague free rein to do literally anything he wants — they never get saddled with the expectation of being Barkley's successor in any way. Even if, as my colleague Robby Kalland theorized , Amazon or NBC agrees to a deal that lets them rent out the Inside studio from Turner and broadcast the show with Ernie Johnson, Shaquille O'Neal, Kenny Smith, and another person, Barkley's departure is going to make it feel different. Saddling that fourth person, or anyone who gets tagged as his spiritual successor on any network, with the expectation of being his replacement is setting them up to fail from the very beginning. That's because even if they grow into being an exceptional television analyst, they will not be Chuck. Bringing in new voices and new perspective is going to be a very valuable thing for the basketball media space, and in a way, Barkley announcing he's calling it a career is a good thing. He'll be missed dearly, but throwing him on a studio show that isn't Inside the NBA with people who are not Ernie, Kenny, and Shaq would have felt a bit wrong. But when we get to 2025 and television networks roll out their studio crews for the upcoming NBA season, it's of the utmost importance that the individuals on the various shows are asked to be themselves and never try to be anyone else, especially Chuck. That's what made Charles Barkley an institution on American television for a quarter of a century, and it's why we'll never see anyone quite like him again. This post appeared first on UPROXX

Nigel McGuinness Is Ready For What Comes Next After AEW All In / September 3, 2024 In April 2023, as McGuinness and AEW CEO Tony Khan travelled on his plane to Long Island, New York, the duo prepared to make the pivotal announcement that All In would take place from Wembley Stadium for the first time later in the year. During that flight, McGuinness says “there was a bit of a discussion” that perhaps he could have his final match against Bryan Danielson that August. “Then, obviously what happened with Bryan breaking his arm (at Forbidden Door) and not being able to wrestle because Lord knows he's got 205 perfectly good bones in his body and he needs all 206. So, that wasn't gonna happen last year,” McGuinness tells Uproxx Sports. “Once we realized that Bryan wasn't an option (this year) because of him in the Owen and challenging for the title. That's when I think the idea of doing a Casino Gauntlet match was broached. And after a little bit of thought and discussions back and forth, we decided to move forward in that direction. So I'm forever glad that I did.” For McGuinness, a return to the ring is something he says he's struggled with over the last 13 years. There have been both difficult moments and times where he's been at great peace with the direction his life has taken. “Be that as it may, there's always that niggling sense of what could have been. It's a strange realization when you discover that the only thing stopping you from wrestling was you,” McGuinness continues. “I remember thinking if I was going to wrestle again what promo I'd give and how I'd sort of explain it. One of the lines that came to me was ‘You can get told that your career meant nothing, eventually you start to believe it. Before too long, the voice telling you is your own. Then eventually, one day you realize that it was your voice all along. Nobody else gave a shit.' To come out and have that moment (at All In) that I never could have dreamed about, certainly 18 months ago, it really was incredible.” McGuinness never seriously entertained lacing his boots again until Khan mentioned Wembley. Conversations with guys like Christian and Adam Copeland helped him believe that a successful return to the ring was a real possibility. When it became clear that there was a genuine opportunity to wrestle, McGuinness says he didn't feel like he needed to look like a bodybuilder, but maintained “you need to look like an athlete.” At 48 years old, that wasn't easy. “Ever since (Khan) mentioned that was a possibility, I started getting back in the ring and training,” McGuinness says. “I had a few little bumps and bruises and niggling injuries and stuff that comes from being my age and trying to get back into something as physically demanding as professional wrestling.” McGuinness calls his surprise appearance as part of the Casino Gauntlet at All In an “incredible moment” and it meant the world to him to wrestle at Wembley, where in 1992 he “had that epiphany that I was going to be a professional wrestler.” “It's one thing, certainly the year prior, to come back and announce the world record attendance. But to actually be in the ring. It was just a different feeling altogether. And that reaction was just something that I will take with me for the rest of my life,” McGuinness says. “It gave me an incredible sense of, I wouldn't say closure because that makes it sound like the last thing for me. But it certainly has given me peace and a sense of surreal reality that this was able to happen. I had a lot of blessings in my life and a lot of obstacles as well. And to be as lucky as I was to have that opportunity – thanks to Tony Khan – it meant so much.” McGuinness gets emotional talking about his journey back to the ring and the warm reception he received from the international audience at Wembley. He says it touched his heart hearing from friends and fans alike, and shared a specific story of someone dealing with a health issue who reached out to say his return gave a nice respite from all the struggles and grief in their life. “It's an absolute blessing to be able to have that effect on someone. And arguably that's a good portion of what I wanted to do in terms of being a wrestler all along, was to prove that if you've got a dream and you never give up, that you can make it,” McGuinness continues. Physically, McGuinness says he feels great. He's continued training as if he's wrestling tomorrow. He entered the Casino Gauntlet at All In with aspirations of having at least one more match, and that remains true. “Bryan's certainly head of line because of our history, there's so much emotion tied up in a match with him,” McGuinness says. “Zack Sabre Jr. would be a dream match. Adam Copeland, he's got another of those ‘broken bones.' There are so many great talents, Lee Moriarty has been gracious enough to get in the ring with me before the shows at Collision, and that's helped me a great deal.” Interested in a select number of matches, McGuinness doesn't want to get caught up wrestling every week again. He enjoys doing commentary with the option to get in the ring every now and again for a special occasion. If All In was the last time he wrestles, he's also fully complacent if his final match came in front of 50,000 fans at Wembley Stadium. Storyline or reality, McGuinness says the thing he really wanted was a final match with Danielson for his return to the ring. He has a good portion of envy for Danielson, to see the trajectories of their careers, and admits it was a mixed bag seeing the American Dragon win the AEW World Championship. But McGuinness looks forward to the day when Danielson drops the belt and rides off into the sunset as well. “It's going to come, someone is going to beat him for that title and he will go quietly into the night and we will never see crying Bryan again,” McGuiness says. “But I will forever make sure no one forgets him, because every week I'm going to bury him on commentary as if he was still wrestling.” But what if that person to end Danielson's full-time wrestling career is McGuiness himself? “Oh, hey, what a story. What an end to a story that would be,” he continues. “That would be incredible. He's too smart to ever get himself put in that position to where I could beat him for that title. So I don't see it happening. But listen, I didn't see myself walking out of Wembley Stadium and getting a bigger reaction than Bryan winning the title either. These things can happen.” This post appeared first on UPROXX
