People always tell Regal how grateful they are that he let Bryan Danielson sit under his learning tree, but the Brit doesn't look at it that way. William suggested that meeting Bryan, training with him and wrestling him in-ring has been a major positive in his life. He gets just as much out of it as Danielson does.

That's cool.

Jericho giggled when Regal made his next point, probably because it was so brilliantly modest. The former WCW and WWE star suggested that younger fans might not even know who he is at all if Bryan hadn't been linked to him in modern times. That's super-humble from a true grappling veteran.

He said 25 year olds out there, for example, may not have the time to trawl back through the archives and watch his stuff when they've got so much great wrestling to watch now. It's a fair point, but anyone who hasn't fired up a few Regal classics on the Network/Peacock is missing out.
