"WAR GA.. I mean... ALL ELITE!" (William Regal joins AEW)

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

Yes, I made the thread just to make that gag in the title.

No surprise there

He is a big get for them and his years of background knowledge will serve well

[Instant Classic]

Surprised WWE doesn’t own the name.

Was so glad to see Regal onscreen again.

Looking at some of the names that were already on the roster that are used as mentors, and now you add Regal to the mix. The future talent of AEW is in such good hands.

A phenomenal pickup, but also an important one for backstage and coaching. But I love to see the guy onscreen again.

That was my reaction too, was totally expecting them to refer to him as Steven Regal

They renewed their trademark on it back in 2018, according to the Justia database. However, Regal applied to trademark it himself last month, so...yeah. Might get messy.

He also applied to trademark Lord Steven Regal, so he might end up using that again in case WWE kicks up a stink.

[EoE: Well There's Your Problem]

Should probably mention... The idea of Regal as the leader of some kind of Danielson/Moxley-led stable, Jesus tap-dancing Christ could that be something.

[Tiffany Stratton's Daddy]

This was a big proverbial middle finger to WWE.

Regal perhaps being the manager of a Mox/Danielson tag team? Adam Cole and reDRagon competing for titles on the show. It's obvious Tony Khan is reminding everyone who won the Wednesday Night War.

[Cyno]

I hope he's the mastermind of this possible Danielson/Moxley team. Because oh my god.

CHIEF MEAT SLAPPER OF THE VIOLENCE COMMITTY

[Convoy]

Someone will need to tell him AEW refers to it as "Blood and Guts" before they bring that match back later this year.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

Crowd went NUTS, deservedly so. Dad came out to f*** some shit up lmfao

This is what I wanted to see happen. Regal leading a Danielson/Mox shooter squad? Yes f***ing PLEASE

Regal will also help backstage immensely. If the CBO position is still open... maybe just slide him into it? Dude will be invaluable for helping with the shows if they let him.

Kip Regal it is.

[Fade is a CodyCryBaby]

Loved the moment where he shut down Moxley’s shit.

[06vwgti]

That face he made when he saw both Moxley and Danielson brawling like little kids lol

[Blade]

It's sad it's too late for him to actually wrestle (well, I assume; Sting is there after all). But I will never be unhappy to see more William Regal. One of the best actors and facial expression guys wrestling has ever had.
