William Regal is considered by many to be one of the greatest wrestlers never to win the WWE Championship. Now working as an announcer for WWE NXT, the Englishman is one of modern wrestling's great villains, armed with his signature set of brass knuckles. He had the valuable ability of being able to combine genuine technical skill with the necessary theatrics of professional wrestling. Due to his exploits as a wily villain, winning matches with illicit weapon use and cheap shots, it's easy for many to forget his genuine skill. Despite his failure to scoop the WWE's top prize, Regal did wear a huge amount of gold during his wrestling career. He was a four-time tag team champion, four-time European champion, three-time hardcore champion and two-time intercontinental champion. He is shining as a colour commentator on NXT and could have just entered a new chapter of his already stellar career.
Freelance film journalist and fan of professional wrestling. Usually found in a darkened screening room looking for an aisle seat and telling people to put away their mobile phones. Also known to do a bit of stand-up comedy, so I'm used to the occasional heckle.
