I didn't notice that Regal's promo taking too long and I just listened to what he said on his first AEW promo. But definitely give my respect for his professionalism.

The villain chairman can speak as long as he wants. Interruptors are automatically under penalty of Regal Bombs and European uppercuts.

Also, how is he able to still be William Regal? I thought that was a WWE creation because Steve Austin was already there and you can’t have too many Steves. I think Regal trademarked both Steven and William Regal. perhaps even William Steven Regal as he was called for like 2 weeks when he originally returned

I can see why he apologizes just remember TBS doesn't offer them to go over their runtime so just going over a minute or two can screw up things. Its a miniscule error either way

Since there's no more Pharaoh, I nominate William Regal to get a hound to accompany him to ringside as he watches Danielson stretch people a country mile.
A Regal Beagle if you will...

I’ll be honest, as a massive Regal mark I did think it did feel like it was a bit….rambling might be the best word for it? Like I felt it could have been done a teeny bit shorter?
Not particular bothered that it did personally plus the man deserves all the time he wants but I can’t imagine it affected the show in a major way really. I mean it was a 6 or 7 minute promo. Hardly a massive chunk of the show when you think about it

It was a great speech regardless. I think Tony looked a little choked up.

It's very classy of Regal to apologise publicly. Like most people here, I could have listened to him all night, but unfortunately live TV doesn't work that way. If someone goes over by three minutes (for example) then that's three minutes that have to be cut from somewhere else and have to be cut quickly.
I hope nobody was angry with Regal for it because it was obviously genuine emotion that made him lose his place. By apologising he's showing a good example to the locker room and being the leader you want him to be.

WWE still has an active trademark on William Regal as of 2018.

What's his story with Tony anyway? It sounded like he did a lot for him.

Schiavone brought Regal into the TBS or Center Stage studios on his day off early in Regal's run, just so Regal could practice and get comfortable with cutting promos on-camera, something he never had to do while working in the UK and Europe.

I understand that he wants to set an example.
I started tearing up as soon as soon as Tony called him your Lordship. We had Regal, Bryan, and Moxley in the same ring as a collective group. Take your time Lawd Regal, take your time.
