10 Things We Learned From William Regal On Talk Is Jericho
10. Regal Hates The Word “Mark”
Never use the word "mark" around Sir William.
Regal described it as "a nasty, horrible, derogatory term for somebody who is willing to give you their time". He much prefers "punters", but was quick to point out that it's never meant in a negative way: "Everybody's a punter for something", he told Jericho.
The host sat silently as Regal pondered whether people would buy tickets to see their favourite bands if they found out the singer looked down on them. He reckons it's the same with pro wrestlers - besides, they should always be looking to improve and impress the folks who take time out to come see them.
That's a really humble, classy way of looking at things. To William, it's vital that workers respect those who follow their careers. After all, those fans are the ones who put money into their pockets and give them that unique adrenaline rush wrestling provides.
