16 Things We Learned From William Regal On Talk Is Jericho

1. Favorite Matches Of His Career

As we draw to a close, Jericho asks the standard final question and without hesitation the top bout on Regal€™s list is a 1991 match vs. Robbie Brookside in Brighton, England. They wrestled six five-minute rounds in front of a lot of veteran wrestlers and it was the first time he€™d ever received a standing ovation. His second favorite was vs. Edge at the Yokohama Arena in Japan, where they opened the show and tore the house down. He says it was the one match in WWE where he felt €œThis is me. This is as good as it€™s going to get here.€ It was the WWE€™s first time in Japan in ten years and the crowd was on fire. Regal points out that in 31 years of wrestling €“ minus a year where he was sick, plus suspensions and injuries €“ he€™s had less than two years off. He calls himself a bit player in the world of wrestling but if you look at the list of people he€™s wrestled, that€™ll never happen again. He€™s been in the ring with Antonio Inoki, Hulk Hogan, Steve Austin, as well as greats from all around the world and he€™s been a very lucky man. This was one of the best Talk Is Jericho episodes ever, with very little actual questions because Regal just spends the entire podcast telling stories and espousing his vast knowledge. He€™s given a lot to the business and has so much more to contribute to the young wrestlers under his tutelage in NXT. His attitude toward his addictions is refreshing and inspiring and he€™s such a captivating storyteller that it€™d be a breeze to sit through another couple of hours.
