If anyone deserves their own appreciation thread its Regal. I submit this video to back up my statement: youtu.be/gjDshIUP7Gk |

Why hasn't this man won a Source Award?

If anyone ever deserved a thank you world title run, it's him.
He is one of the best.

I feel sad that really, he's achieved little in the WWE whilst lesser talents have achieved much more, had world title reigns and even many more midcard titles runs than Regal. The guy was awesome but has essentially alternated between midcarder and jobber for his entire career.

Regal is one of the few genuine total packages in wrestling.
He has the in ring skills, the microphone skills and is extremely humble.
It's so gutting he screwed up when he was getting his big GM/King Of The Ring push a few years ago.

He's one of my favorite all-around performers, he's incredibly versatile. The only thing that worked against him, besides the drug issues, was his style being kind of out of place in a standard WWE match. I think that's a great thing and love his style, but it made his matches his matches appear awkward to some fans. I know a few wrestling fans who think Regal "sucks". Laughable, but that's the consequence of not fitting the mold I guess.
I kind of hate him though, because I try as I might, I can never have that kind of hair.

He's great. Never really seen him do anything bad in ring or on mic.
I think he'll get the HOF one day as he's pretty tight with Hunter apparently.

A career blighted by mistakes and misfortunes, yet a career lucky to have had the fortune of Vince McMahon's support.

Bloody great segment. But yeah, Regal's by far one of my all time favourites. Great in-ring, great on the mic and his mannerisms etc are sublime. I'm always happy when I watch a D-Bry match and I see little things that I've seen in previous Regal matches. I do wish that he'd won more titles, but honestly, I feel that his greatest accomplishment is Daniel Bryan. I'll never forget the times I've seen him live as well. I've seen him twice now, once was just a mid card match halfway through the show, can't even remember his opponent, but he got by far the biggest pop of the night, out-popping Cena, Orton and Triple H. Second time, it was him Vs Orton for the WWE title at the Echo, whilst he was GM and Orton was at the height of his popularity as a heel. They went out there and put on an amazing 20 minute match, with multiple near falls, a few times I thought I was actually going to witness him win the belt, I was so wrapped up in it all. The pop for his music was immense, and the battling chants were, well, a squash. You'd hear a few people chant "Let's go Orton!" and get completely drowned out by "LET'S GO REGAL!", the whole building was shaking and it was intense, with Orton winning via some nefarious method. Afterwards, Regal got on the mic and welcomed us all to RAW. Honestly, I haven't been to too many live shows, but I feel it would be hard to top that match. One of my favourites, even if it's only a house show one. Also, this is an amazing match. And not just for the entrance shenanigans! |

Even away from the wrestling he's my favourite commentator, even though he can be funny and entertaining he really tries his best to put others over rather than get attention for himself.
I don't know exactly what he does in NXT but even if it's not a hands-on role I'm sure his influence can only be a good thing as his words carry weight that others don't, if he's telling you something about your in-ring performance, character or life outside the ring you're going to listen as he's been there.
Oh and his book was really good too, different to most wrestling books though as it was more about his battles with drugs.

I'd love to see Regal get a thank you world title run, or at least a thank you world title feud. It's too bad he'd be shuttled off to the WHC scene if it happened, him and Bryan feuding over the WWE title would be amazing to watch.
