William Regal Offered Major Wrestling Deal
One week after leaving WWE, William Regal already has an offer on the table...
Former WWE man William Regal already has a fresh job offer on the table a little over a week after being released by the Vince McMahon-helmed promotion.
Speaking on yesterday's episode of SiriusXM's Busted Open Radio, cohost Tommy Dreamer, also an executive for IMPACT Wrestling, acknowledged the recent NXT/Performance Center personnel shakeup, then revealed he had already reached out to Regal (h/t WrestlingNews.co):-
“If you look at management, and you look at, let’s say, the New York Giants, their G.M. is retiring, and then there goes the head coach that he picked. There goes everyone associated with that person. Triple H is no longer in charge, and everyone associated with him is gone. The only guy who’s remained is Shawn (Michaels), but Shawn was a Vince guy before he was a Triple H guy. Regal, the moment I heard (he was let go), I shot him a text and said, ‘If you want to be a commentator at Impact or if you want to be a General Manager figure, just let me know.’ He will have something when he chooses to.”
Regal had been with WWE for 22 years when he was let go alongside a host of other NXT/PC personnel on 5 January, including Brian 'Road Dogg' James and other members of the old developmental team assembled by Triple H.
The 53-year-old had served as NXT General Manager and WWE's director of talent development and head of global recruiting at the time of his departure.
The Englishman is yet to announce his next move in professional wrestling.
