There is no doubt Hulk Hogan had one of greatest comeback stories in professional wrestling history. Passing of the torch classics from The Rock, HHH, Undertaker, Kurt Angle, Jericho and Brock Lesnar. Solidify his status as living legend.
William Regal is like Jim Cornette as a kid I didn’t like them but as an adult I love them for just how good they are and their knowledge of the wrestling business. My favourite William Regal moment is Lord Stephen Regal Vs Fit Finley at WCW Uncensored 96 and absolutely amazing match for just how hard, stiff and well put together the match is, I recommend anyone to watch it and I promise you’ll enjoy it
That promo on HHH over Eugene was amazing. But he has soo many good stories too. His rivalry while travelling with Tajiri. Listening to Haystacka and Big Daddy talking about eating all the desert at last nights dinner with the missus as he laced boots in a corner. Little things with Regal are great. If your lucky enough to have some time with him, its certainly time well spent. Truly a gentleman.
@@jamesshelley5912That's genuinely the best Goldberg match I've ever seen. He clearly wasn't happy about it but he should be grateful, Regal actually made Goldberg look good.
That promo against Hogan had me cracking up. "Poncing about like a 50 pence Tart" is one of the best lines in a promo ever. Regal could give an acting seminar. His knowledge is ridiculous. If I was in WWE or AEW & he was there, I'd be bothering him constantly for advice.
Know this guy since the old CWA Days here in Germany. Love him and i am happy he is still around. I also know Dave Taylor from that Time. The English guys were very well known here in Germany. William Regal is a Legend
Yeah we need WrestleMania in Wembley it’s been 32yrs since I went to SummerSlam 92 (God that makes me feel old) and another major WWE PPV at Wembley is well overdue. AEW couldn’t even fill all of Wembley’s 93,000 seats and they had seats on the pitch I’m sure WrestleMania would easily beat All In’s numbers
William Real is one of the only few wrestlers that if I see he’s on a video, I will literally stop everything. I’m doing just to watch! He is a brilliant storyteller!
WWE should have Regal as a regular member of the commentary team. He's a great talker and knows more about wrestling than just about anyone, plus he has the ability to be funny when needed.
Regal owns the legacy of showing the world what it looks like when a guy who can really wrestle and work (himself) faces a guy who can't wrestle or work (Bill Goldberg). Bill Goldberg was the presentation. So was Hulk Hogan.
When I was about 6 years old, my cousin showed me all the WWE wrestlers and told me William Regal was the main English guy. My name is William too so I instantly loved him. So weird after all this time (I’m 24) to learn he’s from the North of England like me, and despite being a part of one of the most American things imaginable, his sentiment is exactly what you expect from a Northerner. Speaks with such honesty and consideration, my favourite wrestler ever
Royal Rumble is truly the Battle Royal done right. 30 guys, let them get their intro in, do their moves, move on. WW3 sounds like it may be a decent house show idea at best, especially for the nosebleed seat audience.
I love Regal. 40 years that guy wrestled. I can't help but wonder what career hed have had if not for his issues. Maybe it's just me, but I think he had a huge amount of skill in the ring and on the mic... he's a legend. I'm British though, I may be biased. 🤪
The first moment that pops into my mind is when he was feuding with Sting in the mid 90s it was a interview in a office setting and at the end he backhanded Sting in the face so hard I jumped from the sound it made when he hit his face
Back in 1981 lane county fairgrounds cow Palace when you worked for Don Owens Portland Wrestling I gave Steve Regal a Roach clip with his name on it in Chrome letters REGAL I got it from a place called roach clip City in Springfield Oregon it cost $8 to have it made 43 years ago. That's wrestling History. I wonder how many famous wrestlers have smoked off that roach clip ❤😊❤ TRUE STORY!!
Born in the late 90s growing up into the Attitude Era. I was never familiar with Hulk Hogan as the main attraction during WWF 80s peak through his first run until departure in 93. After 9 years away after tenure and close of WCW he would return to WWE in one of the greatest comeback stories of all time. Anticipating the return of NWO at No Way Out on the Road to WrestleMania X8. Unforgettable match against The Rock winning back the hearts of millions of fans. Captured and becoming a 5X and final WWF champion before company name change. Teaming with Edge to capture the World Tag Team Championships. Passing of the torch to many iconic wrestler to legends. From The Rock, HHH, Undertaker, Kurt Angle and Brock Lesnar. Where his status and legend would continue to grow higher and more unforgettable into one of the greatest comeback stories in professional wrestling history.
His comic timing is superb. Edit: in real life he’s big fan of Peter Kay and Dave Spikey (Northern English stand-up comedians), and loved The Royle Family.
@@gregc7699I just watched both seasons yesterday. Had me cracking up. When Max & Paddy make a prank call & he says "I know who you are. Who are ya?" absolutely killed me
Just like Mankind winning his first world title, I wonder how many viewers immediately "changed the channel" to go check out the Dave Taylor / Hulk Hogan spot? 😂
William makes me want to move to Blackpool so much…..the rain, the Sea, THAT accent around me, man be Heaven. Any cute Blackpool girls fancy a Japanese Canadian let me know! 😻
Hes dead on about promos. Ya have to feel it. How many times a week do you hear someone during a promo (nxt A LOT) start what theyre saying with "look"? Sometimes they say it 3-4 times (trick williams)...
You just have to get over with the audience. And the WWE audience is like the old ECW audience -- they care more about taking over the show than letting the performers be in control. If you just do something memey like Fandango's entrance music or Daniel Bryan's "Yes" chant or Stone Cold's "What" chant and let the audience do their part to take over and ruin the show; you'll be a fan favorite. And of course, do things to make them chant "Holy sh*t."
The boss dropped his pants tv and he kissed his a#$. That happened publicly, what went on privately that's another story. I loss all respect for Regal.
I hate how this channel used to be entertaining but now they just clickbait articles about obscure people a decade ago and mislead people into thinking its something actually worth reading. It's sad asf.
I think so yes, he started from the very bottom in places like blackpool n ended up at the top n famous worldwide, a real underdog story, if he could make it from such a humble start so can any aspiring wrestler imo.
Regal talks much, but he was a midcarder at best. Nice character in WCW as heel and british "upper class royal". But that was it. But Regal can talk about himself pretty good.
@@HarkAt-kk7op That doesnt mean anything. Sure he was a good guy. But this is as a wrestler. He was a midcarder at best, and the only thing funny was his heelish royal upper class characte sometimes. Walking around and feeling disgusted by opponents.
@@krillep546 you're equating his level of success (midcarder) with his actual wrestling ability and knowledge which is why I tried to point out go and listen to how your favorite wrestlers talk about him. I'm not calling him a nice guy, I'm saying he's an encyclopedia of wrestling.
He wasn't the most "exciting" wrestler but his background and knowledge was all extremely legit. Kind of like not every sports coach was the "best" player or even played at all but when they speak... You listen.
What is William Regal’s best on screen moment? let us know in the comments below!
There is no doubt Hulk Hogan had one of greatest comeback stories in professional wrestling history. Passing of the torch classics from The Rock, HHH, Undertaker, Kurt Angle, Jericho and Brock Lesnar. Solidify his status as living legend.
Anytime Regal yells,"WAR GAMES!"
King of the ring
Taking Bobby Eaton to Hollywood.
edge pissing in his cup and the cryme time skit omg he's hilarious
How to succeed in WWE: "Step forward with your left foot!"
good reference 😂
I SAID YOUR LEFT FOOT!
Or join DX lol. Also, avoid aew at all cost!
In a world where there is so much to despise it's wonderful to love William Regal for these 15 minutes and 33 seconds
I think Regal is the biggest reason we have so much UK/Ireland talent in WWE today
lol. ok 🤡
Never heard of the dynamite kid and the brittish bulldog
@@camau79 wwf video games with regal compared to games with the bulldog on it..
As an American I always liked Fit Finlay, Regal is great too. Great talents!!

Truly a gentleman.
My favorite ever
Could listen to William Regal retell these stories all day long, what a legend.
There's a reason why so many people revere this man. He's the consumate professional, and makes no bones about it.
'cept for that time he shitstomed Goldberg.
like ya boy bill did to hitman😂

When they do a WrestleMania in London, that’s when they should induct William Regal in the HOF, probably WM 43 in 2027
It's a crime he's not already in. If I hadn't read your comment I would have guessed he was already inducted
Does anyone doubt that Regal inducted into the HOF at Wembley at a theoretical WM in London would ever draw less then 50 maniacs at Wembley? I don't.
Yeah we need WrestleMania in Wembley it’s been 32yrs since I went to SummerSlam 92 (God that makes me feel old) and another major WWE PPV at Wembley is well overdue. AEW couldn’t even fill all of Wembley’s 93,000 seats and they had seats on the pitch I’m sure WrestleMania would easily beat All In’s numbers

I love listening to William Regal, he should do a podcast. Favourite moments of Regal was backstage with Tajiri, comedy gold..
Didn't he have a podcast during his AEW run?
@@HopSkipLimp yeah called Gentleman Villain, not sure if the episodes are still available but he's always worth listening to!
@@HopSkipLimp I knew he did an interview on AEW unrestricted but I never knew he had a podcast
@@NEILAMALONEI listened to every episode. Was really disappointed when the episodes ended.
“You’re a wise man, Tajiri.” - Stone Cold Steve Austin
Regal is such a good talker
Regal owns the legacy of showing the world what it looks like when a guy who can really wrestle and work (himself) faces a guy who can't wrestle or work (Bill Goldberg). Bill Goldberg was the presentation. So was Hulk Hogan.
Hulk Hogan knows how to work a match, the crowd and the psychology of the whole thing, Goldberg (by his own admission) doesn't.
When I was about 6 years old, my cousin showed me all the WWE wrestlers and told me William Regal was the main English guy. My name is William too so I instantly loved him.

My son and I saw him in the Orlando airport last month. A lot bigger than he looks on TV. He was wearing the 3 piece suit too.
Regal knows the art of story.
Absolutely LOVE and adore this man's body of work. His in-ring genius to this day is all but matched. ❤
I’m glad to finally hear somebody address WCW’s three ring World War 3 concept. I always thought it was bloody awful.
WCW died because of awful ideas like that Russo put the final nail in the coffin
Royal Rumble is truly the Battle Royal done right. 30 guys, let them get their intro in, do their moves, move on. WW3 sounds like it may be a decent house show idea at best, especially for the nosebleed seat audience.
Love Darren Mathews, so happy to hear that Gewertz wrote the lines for that Hulk Merchandise promo. 💕 Cartoon Hulkster voice was Ted DibIase…lol
Regal is one of the greatest of all time!
Legend that is William regal
An Evening with Arn Anderson and William. Now that's a show I didn't know I wanted to see. The stories they could both tell!
I love Regal. 40 years that guy wrestled. I can't help but wonder what career hed have had if not for his issues.
Maybe it's just me, but I think he had a huge amount of skill in the ring and on the mic... he's a legend. I'm British though, I may be biased. 🤪
Oh believe me you’re 100% right.
God bless Sir Regal 🙏🏻
I hated him as a kid. As I got older I watched him more, and listened to him speak and by god he’s so clever and articulate. Some fella him.
Well I'm Canadian and I agree completely. Didn't appreciate him as a younger wrestling fan but now I know what I missed then.
WILLIAM REGAL SO AWESOME ON THE INSIDE THE ROPES !!!
I could listen to Regal all day. An honest man, a learned man. Not perfect, but 'real'. I respect it.
The first moment that pops into my mind is when he was feuding with Sting in the mid 90s it was a interview in a office setting and at the end he backhanded Sting in the face so hard I jumped from the sound it made when he hit his face

Who else would like to see Regal do a speaking tour?
I loved how William could stretch a young bull like myself like the young man annoyed a proper beast i want to see Regal on Dan and Don's podcast
I don't think I ever seen William Regal cut a promo in WCW. I seen a lot of the ones he did in WWE and they were really good.
Mr. Regal is imo on of the greatest wrestler in and out of the ring. I have like 5 wrestlers I want meet in real life. He is #2
Regal was a great professional wrestler, he could Sell with the best of em and was a Technician in the Ring..
I loved the Dave Taylor stories in Glasgow! hilarious!!
I think I missed something, did his wife leave him before Christmas and take his money?
Needless to say, easy prey for the "Vince McMahon Kiss My Ass Club".
Whatta Pro!
I love Regal's approach.
He knows alllllll their secrets!
Mick Miller is hilarious. His stuff still holds up today
Haha drunk Noddy on the radio is a fantastic bit.
I always loved Mike Reid, his comic timing was second to none
Why don't they release the whole interview?
Probbaly behind a paywall and rightly so.
Regals too good a talker to not captilise on it.
@@chip.chippa6416 what paywall?
I would pay if there was a link or a Video on demand link

If you want to know how to never be WWE champion Regal is your man.
Makes a story 3x longer than necessary about how to not go over time
Is he loaded?
My first thought was is this guy on a ton of pain killers? cause he seems a little off doesn't seem like liquor though
Things he did: this in one take, completely off the cuff
