WWE: 5 Reasons Why William Regal Should Be Champion

william regal Like a lot of people reading this, I first saw William Regal sometime around the year 2000, when he showed up on WWE (then known as WWF) programming as an upper class English snob. His appearance was absolutely hilarious and, being Brits ourselves, my family and I thoroughly adored his particular brand of underhanded (yet decidedly upper crust) villainy. Whether he was complaining about being €˜besmirched!€™, screwing his face up like a bulldog chewing a wasp after drinking a 'cup of p€™ or referring to The Rock as €œa toe-rag€, the guy was always a hoot. But, there was more to like, as we soon found out: this bloke could really wrestle. In an era where WWE€™s mid-card featured the gigantic talents of Eddie Guerrero, Chris Benoit, Chris Jericho, Rob Van Dam, Edge and many more, Regal stood out as one of the best purely technical wrestlers on the roster. He may have played a ponce on TV, but this guy could hurt you. He could hurt you bad. Regal is an excellent wrestler as well as a consummate showman and I got to thinking that he may be the answer to some of WWE€™s current prayers. Here, then, are 5 reasons why Mr. Regal would make a great WWE champion...
