This is one for the hardcore WCW fanatics who lap up every last priceless bit of information on the fallen promotion.

On Tony Schiavone's 'What Happened When' podcast, the former WCW play-by-play man talked about the Uncensored 1996 pay-per-view in-depth. Aside from giving his thoughts on the infamous "Doomsday Cage" main event, Schiavone revealed that the guy who accompanied Steven Regal to the ring that evening had another role in the company.

According to Tony, "Jeeves" was the same guy who danced around as Wildcat Willie, WCW's mascot. That's sure to tickle any hardcore fan of the company, and it provides a definitive answer on who the gentleman was; fans had guessed his identity up until now, but there had never been a reliable source behind such guesswork.

Jeeves was a replacement for Sir William (played by Bill Dundee) and didn't end up enjoying a lengthy run in the role. He went on to play the Wildcat exclusively.
