“William Regal was so fun to work with doing the pretty tapes with him. We were laughing our asses off. He was so entertaining. And when he got in the ring, he was just as technical, if not more technical, than I was. He knew his shit.” Said the former six times TNA World Heavyweight Champion.
“But, I would say that if he got inducted into the Hall of Fame, which I believe he deserves to be, I think it should be his European connection, Fit Finley. Okay. I think that would be a great person to induct him. Fit. Fit had an incredible career, and I think that Fit would be a great person to induct his fellow European, William Regal.”

“I’ve been fortunate. There’s nobody that I hated working in the ring with. It doesn’t mean I had bad matches. I didn’t have bad matches. I did. I even had a bad match with Eddie Guerrero. So, I can’t think of anybody I did not look forward to working with. I can’t even think of anybody. I’ve always looked forward to everybody I work with, but I’m telling you, I had, you know, a dozen bad matches that I was like, ‘Oh shit man, this was horrible.’
“And, so we, you know, nobody’s perfect. Everybody has some good ones, some bad ones, but I can’t think of anybody I have worked with that I didn’t like working with. In other words, I wrestled Eddie a hundred times, but I had one bad match with him.” Concluded the WWE Hall of Famer.
William Regal is considered one of the most underutilized talents in professional wrestling history. He did earn multiple big championships in promotions like WWE and WCW but he could never become a main event star in any wrestling promotion neither he could win any World title. He definitely deserves to be in the WWE Hall of Fame.
