If they put a heal over in that way, generally it means that he's higher on the card and more of a threat to the babyface champion. Regal in WCW was never gonna get that push for obvious reasons. He was great in the ring but he pissed in the offices cheerios too many times. He was great for the product they were presenting. Disco Inferno, Alex Wright, Pyschosis, Johnny B. Badd, Glacier, the Dungeon of Doom, etc. It's basically a saturday morning cartoon for kids. Regal nailed that character. He was hilarious and very skilled. I remember hating how good he was lol.

I think the time has come to put William Regal into the WWE Hall Of Fame. The guy has paid his dues, wrestled all over the world, made it to the top and now he's training the future stars of WWE. A proper Blackpool lad who made it to the big time and it never changed him one bit, a real class act.

I remember meeting Regal at X-8 during fanfest. He was so humble even then, taking the time with every single person. Learned your name, asked how you were, other friendly questions. He never rushed anyone, answered any questions that were asked of him in however long it took. I've never forgotten that, and the same humble guy comes across in this video as well.

He tweeted me back saying he donated it to a charity shop! Then, the next year, totally out of the blue, he messaged me wishing me a happy birthday! Who does that?

I have watched many interviews and retrospectives concerning the wrestling business. Great road stories, sad falls from grace, intense memories - angry and raw. This by far is one of the most honest interviews I have have ever watched. I remember Steve in WCW and WWF/WWE - I remember his technical skill and his ability to bring his unique character to screen. Here is a man that spent his career on the edge of the spotlight yet, as his down to earth and humble personality comes through, he is at peace with his accomplishments and along the way brought so many talents up the ranks with him. After so many negative interviews watched, this positive and realistic look at the wrestling business seen through the eyes of a man much wiser than I ever gave him credit for blew me away. Forget about nit picking the camera work...LISTEN to the storyline and find the meaning behind the true determination to succeed in doing something you love. This may be a wrestling story, but so many things Steve says throughout the interview applies to anything you set out to accomplish. Many thanks for being the true wrestler and professional, and for exemplifying what an athlete, business man, trainer, and mentor is all about!

William Regal is one of my earliest wrestling memories. When I was 8 or 9, I went to a WWE house show in the UK. JBL was being JBL and cutting a promo on the crowd. Regal came out (then a fully fledged heel and that was the only way I had known him), to save the crowd from JBL and got the biggest babyface pop all night. Me and my friend walked out saying "I kind of love William Regal" but we were back to hating him a week later. A true wrestling legend

Shows what a great bloke he is with the bit about Vince Russo. “ he didn’t like me but he didn’t have to like me “. No bad mouthing him or anything. Seems like the kind of man who sees the good in everyone.

This is the BEST video yet in this series. I've always respected the hell out of William/Steve Regal. I agree he needs to be in the WWE Hall Of Fame because this guy had paid his dues. So thank you for the best video in this series. Would love to see more video shoots with him.

Says a lot about him that he can be living abroad for so long and he hasn't lost a note of his natural accent; he means it when he says 'remember where you came from'. Seems like he'd be a good guy to have a pint with

What a guy William Regal is. He has wrestled in countless countries and promotions, payed his dues to the business time after time and fought through his own personal demons and at the end of it all has nothing but thanks to give back. Legend and a future hall of famer for sure. Massive inspiration for anyone wanting to be a professional wrestler.
