6. He Has Been Best Friends With William Regal For Over 30 years
Brookside initially took William Regal under his wing in the early days of their wrestling careers back in England, and the two went on to tag together as "The Golden Boys". The Brits continued to work together whenever possible across Europe and in the US. Beyond the ring, the two have remained best friends for decades and have a deep mutual respect for another. To repay Brookside for all the help he offered to him early in his career, Regal would eventually open the door to WWE bringing Brookside in for the NXT coaching position. A lot of things in wrestling don't last, but Brookside and Regal's bond looks unbreakable.
