10 Things Learned From William Regal On talkSPORT

5. Dusty Rhodes Was Naked When He First Met Him

Dusty Rhodes And from entirely professional acts to brain-melting displays, William Regal's first day on the job with WCW led him to be introduced to the legendary multi-time World Champion, Dusty Rhodes. Having obviously heard of Rhodes and admired his work for years, Regal had planned to be nothing but humble upon meeting the 'American Dream', but he couldn't possibly have expected what happened next. Being led down a long corridor by a sizeable bouncer, Regal stepped into a room to be met with Dusty Rhodes, completely naked apart from a cowboy hat, sitting in a chair with a completely normal look on his face. Introducing himself as Steven (Regal's ring forename at the time), the Englishmen was met with silence, before Rhodes finally repeated his name, and took a long breath. From there, the Dream mentioned the bodyguard, saying he was "like Whitney Houston", because he had his own backup. Apparently, that was all he said, and Regal simply shook his hand once more and left the room, unable to fully grasp what he'd just seen.
