10 Little Known Things You Didn’t Know About William Regal
5. He Has No Wrestling Memorabilia In His House
Wrestlers are notoriously egotistic. The wrestling industry is built on a macho environment of who is better than who - especially for the guys who broke into the business when Regal did. Even today's current WWE wrestlers have a lot of their own merchandise - as anyone who has ever seen a Zach Ryder tweet or the recent Ryback tweets can attest to. But not this WWE wrestler. If you came into his house, you wouldn't know that he was a wrestler. He very much keeps his private/family life private. He admits to being a wrestling fan - always has been and always will be - but doesn't get consumed in the lifestyle. As he said when we spoke: "People say have you got this belt or that belt? Theres not a single picture of wrestling or anything in my house. When I come home, Im at home with my family!" Who would have thought that a laid back English guy who happens to be a professional wrestler would be totally laid back and unassuming, eh? Confident? Yes. Aware of his abilities? Yes. But a normal guy at the end of the day? Absolutely.
