10 WWE Superstars Who Were The Best At Putting Over Young Talent

William Regal is the textbook definition of a great technical worker. That's not to say he's better than someone like Bret Hart in terms of mat skills, it just means that whoever stepped into the ring with Regal was practically guaranteed to have a solid match, even if they had the wrestling abilities of an unripened banana.

You didn't put someone into the ring with Regal hoping to make them into a superstar. You put them into the ring with Regal so they could A) prove to the fans that they could be taken seriously as a technical wrestler, and B) give them a safety net in case they found themselves lost in the match.

Because William Regal would carry them if they did.

He didn't use big power moves or top rope dropkicks, just fundamentals and a whole bucketful of ring psychology. And while some might consider this old school approach in the ring to be boring, it had a purpose: The other guy looked ten times more dynamic by default.

Seriously, go back and look at any of his matches with talent from the undercard. He'd spend the first part of the match working them over - using a few dirty tactics if he was working against a babyface - and all they had to do was hit a flying forearm and the crowd would give them a big pop.
