15 Most-Decorated WWE Wrestlers To Never Win A World Title
4. William Regal
Titles Held: 2 Intercontinental Championships, 4 European Championships, 4 World Tag Team Championships Total Title Days: 529 Long before he was the general manager of NXT or a commentator for the promotion, William Regal was a legit tough guy wrestler, a man who started wrestling at age 15 as part of a traveling carnival. While most fans remember Regal as the WWF commissioner, he also had a pretty successful run while a fulltime active wrestler. He captured 10 titles in an eight-year span, including four European Championship reigns for the second-longest total time as champ (behind only the British Bulldog). Regal also won four World Tag Team Championships with three different partners: Lance Storm (twice), Eugene and Tajiri. Although Regal has been a heel throughout much of his career, his pairing with Eugene turned him into an easy fan favorite for defending the special needs wrestler. He also has outstanding comedic timing, something that was used to great effect while commissioner, especially with sidekick Tajiri. Now semi-retired, its a certainty that Regal wont ever get to hold a world championship in WWE, but he has carved out a solid legacy. As commissioner, he remains one of the more memorable authority figures in WWE lore. As a commentator, he is more than capable of stepping into the booth for Raw or Smackdown tomorrow. As a competitor, Regals gritty reputation still shines through in the few matches he does wrestle notably his battle against Cesaro. William Regal might not go down as an all-time great, but he has proven his worth to WWE.
