William Regal On His Relationship With Triple H 

Yeah same here. I always thought he was a took as kid in the attitude era . earliest memory is him and Jericho feud.

Same I didn't even like him but now I see how talented this man was on his prime, he deserved to be a world champion.

He's a MAN A MANLY MAN yeah, I just didn't get it. But always enjoyed his ring work

Same. as a child, I even gravitated towards the heels, but not Regal. I hated him. As an adult he’s one of my all time favs

Totally agree.

TBH, i think everybody at WWE has a different voice when saying WARGAMES

watch some of his old matches in WCW for the TV Title, he was the Best...! PERIOD

Yew man ga

When that man says "WARGAMES" I get a shiver down my spine

frank bonini That is the proper way to say it, yes.

Jonathan Esser so is a natural calm voice

It's a Lancastrian accent, being one myself I know alot incredibly similar to William Regal

Stu Morris i always wondered what his natural accent was, cause he had multiple different voices he puts on so i could never tell

@Jonathan Esser Bad News Barrett in my book could've been one of the most entertaining characters in wrestling today. Saw a recent interview with him where he said WWE management didn't like the fact his humour was getting him over with the fans 'cos they wanted him to be a heel.

I could listen to him talk about wrestling all day long.

Wowzers🎉

Thanks for sharing this. I hope you've defeated the devil and live in the light.

From whatever William Regal said here, it is clear that they both have a very good UNDERSTANDING with each other when it comes to their BUSINESS but Regal made it rather clear that they aren't really friends and barely ( if ever ) hang out with each other ( by their own choice ). I guess believing Regal and HHH are best friends would give pleasure to your tender heart but sorry mate, we gotta keep it real. Now if you talk about HHH, Shawn, Scott Hall and Nash, now those guys are what could be called best friends. Having very good understanding with a person at workplace and being best friends with them are 2 completely different things !

MrPjspacejam yeah because you know exactly what they’re like with each other don’t you

Regal is also friends with Steve Austin. A big reason when he came back to the WWF, all of a sudden in a program with him as an antagonist, Regal being aligned with the McMahons.

Good question

damn, he should be

Deserved to be a hall of Famer

For REAL!!!! So much deserving of it

@Akainu Sakazuki94 Absolutely deserving!

maybe hes on coke lol

He's a Maaaaaaaaan....A reaaaaallllll Maaaaannnsss maaaaaaaaaaann

Less of the old, youngster!! He's my age! 😁

I thought it was just me LMAO

Drew Wood even funnier since what he’s saying even applies nicely to Ned and Robert. Two guys who were kinda nobodies, come up the ranks together and somehow find themselves ruling two realms, Robert/HHH ruling the main kingdom and Ned/Regal ruling The surly but tough smaller kingdom. Haha holy crap, there’s even power marriages involved. I don’t think I need to spell out who the Lannisters are..

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Lmao us Englishman always say it like that

@@carlDJS And I love it! Idk why

@@carlDJS fuck Haich

The English don't say that, the Irish do though

British Modified We do.

😂😂😂😂😂

Triple Haitch

🤣🤣🤣

Eugene my dear boy!!! And lets not forget about Straight out gangsta trippin 😂😂😂

Belvin Nadar That is the proper way to say it...

darkashtar I echo those sentiments. That makes me realize now how great of a heel he was because I remember despising him as a youngin

@@nicholasward1925 well as I grew older I also became more a fan of technical wrestling too lol

Same. I think as kids we just see the wrestlers as black and white and the you grow up and realize the talent behind the wrestler.

Same with me and Demi Lovato, I just wish she would let me into her personal space.

I had the same thing with Jenny who used to live on my street.,, May she rest in peace.

Jenny on the block

Rob now that's deep! 🤣

KnightsofMerc oh god yes

HHH’s approval should mean nothing...the guy has fucking destroyed wrestling.

@@rampageclover9788 You mean indy flippy flop matches did

@@rampageclover9788 you on drugs or something?

Triple H mentioned that he was a brand-new rookie in WCW and how even though he didn't have a reason to, Regal a fairly respected veteran took him under his wing and watched out for him. He always appreciated that because WCW was a pretty miserable backstabbing place to work.

WWE dropped the ball with Regal, a character like him would have made a great champion.

@@jasperswarp he was never a world champion but he still had huge success and he is one of the biggest names in wrestling history

William has only got better and better over the years. He now teaches the younger upcoming talent so much

I disliked him when I was growing up but now I know he is/was such a class act. Serious performer.

That’s because you are a womble

Jim cornette has said the same thing about Ole Anderson. Generally his insults were a sign he actually liked you. The famous " cornette I used to think you were a dumb fuck, but so many dumb Fucks have come along since you, you moved up the ladder without doing anything" Jim always jokes was the greatest compliment he ever got in the wrestling business

He once strangled the singer for Quiet Riot LOL he was doing a promotional interview and when asked his favourite bands he mentioned Slade. The Quiet Riot singer said oh yeah I made those guys a lot of money, and Regal shot back at him "I think it's the other way around the only two hits you ever had were Slade songs so I'd say it was them that made you money" the singer got pissed and told him not to be like that and Regal who was well into of his addiction problems started strangling him.

Agreed. He and Triple H have set the bar so high for any heel. Both had great success

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Hunna The Gunna wouldn’t take too long

He's British

I think it's more than that. Regal comes from a very humble background and is extremely modest about his achievements..he started at 16 in the Lancashire tradition in England on the circus and regional shows. He's never claimed to be a great talent BUT his work ethic and the sheer graft he put in to learning his craft is why he's still around. He's also got a brain and appears to be a really decent guy, he has very few enemies in the business.

The Black Country is Birmingham, he's from Blackpool Lancashire

@@stueymorris The Black Country is the general area that encompasses Wolverhampton, Tipton, Walsall and Dudley to name a just a few places. Birmingham IS NOT a part of The Black Country. People often confuse a Black Country accent and a Birmingham accent; they're similar, slightly different inflection. Some people can offended if you confuse their accent for the other in a similar manner to confusing a Canadian accent for an American one. Regal grew up in Staffordshire - this explains what I can hear in his accent as I know hat I'm listening out for. I can also hear Lancashire in his accent but to me the Black Country is much more prevalent.

@@mr.x9566 as a Lancastrian who's worked with Staffordshire and Birmingham folk he sounds absolutely nothing like the latter two, I could go to Preston, Wigan, Omskirk Blackpool, Lancaster etc etc right now and hear that accent 100 times over

@@stueymorris Listening to Regal, I'd have said narrowed his accent down to South Staffordshire. Lo and behold, I've just checked and Regal was born AND raised in Codsall, South Staffordshire. I agree with you that he sounds nothing like he's from Birmingham (I have already mentioned this). Also people from South Staffordshire will have a different inflection to those from other parts of Staffordshire, ie: The Potteries and The Black Country - Both in Staffordshire but so different. So, South being the operative word in the name SOUTH Staffordshire. As a person of a reasonable cognitive function, two working ears and having lived in South Staffordshire, East and West Lancashire (amongst other parts of the U.K); I can hear The Black Country in his voice. I can hear it in his cadence and vernacular. Regal uses both the regional dialects of The Black Country AND West Lancashire. Regal himself has said in shoot interviews that he grew up "just outside Wolverhampton" (Codsall-Wood) and used to travel back and forth to Blackpool to wrestle in shoot-style matches before eventually moving there, aged 16. Regal hasn't completely lost his Black Country twang, I just know what im listening out for.

@@mr.x9566 I think it's clear you haven't the foggiest or listened to any accent ever

Anxo Fernandez and that will be a glorious day. However I doubt Vince McMahon will ever abdicate and will die in the office.

No one is more calmer than an old metal head

He loves Slade as well.

Regal rocks 🤘

He's just been around longer. Started wrestling as a teenager. I'm sure that would age you fast. Not sure what Arn's excuse is though. He's always looked 45, lol.

He started really young in England. He has a lot more years in the business then people would think someone would for his age definitely.

William is one of the very best of all time and is a true legend of the wrestling business

They were a tag team

The Blue Bloods

👽

I guess that was an indirect way for him to say that we have a very good understanding with each other when it comes to our business but we ain't really friends with each other. Lol
