He can make ANY comedy segment gold. I swear, if he was part of Katie Vick and Dr. Heiny, we'd be talking about how genius it all was.
At the same time, he can play the guy who gives a smug grin, then makes you cry for mama. The man gets a knee to the head over as a finisher. That means the crowd knows not to smurf with him, either.
He's such a brilliant heel at playing the cowardly heel, too, that you can completely forget he's pretty big. The guy is only a few inches short of Kane, really, if you pay attention. He usually crouches a little to hide that.
He's like Michael Caine if he was a barfighting hooligan that also is MMA champ.

Yeah Reagal is pretty awesome. I wish he would be pushed better.

That one match on the Benoit dvd is godly. Its cool that he is happy but I think he could be more appreciated.

To give him such a cushy position means they probably do appreciate him, plus he did have the IC title.

But it doesn't take away from how legitimately tough he is.

I thought the answer was going to be because "He's The MAAAAAAAAN. He's The Man's MAAAAAAAAAN."
And yes, Regal is awesome in everything that he does.

Regal is brilliant. He's certainly my favourite guy on the WWE roster right now.
Building on the fact that he hides his size, I also didn't realise he was only 39 until a few months ago. He's been around forever (He made his debut at 15, I think), so you don't realise he's still under 40.

The only thing I can really add is that if anyone doesn't enjoy watching Regal, well then... "I pity ya! I feel sorry for ya!"

I think the only thing left for regal now is to win King of the Ring. He could have some real fun with that gimmick, and it would be so fitting. Pity they just reserve king of the ring for main eventers.

regal is like edge or angle, in that he has thrived in every role he's been in. he was hilarious as the grumpy, snobbish commissioner, he was scary as hell as the killer heel, he was great as the reluctant manager of eugene, and he shined as the comedic gameshow host. regal can literally fill any spot in the card, which is something a great wrestler should be able to do.
and i saw the benoit match on velocity. that match was great. that was around the time when between regal taking on all comers and london and akio's incredible little mini-feud, velocity was often better than smackdown.

they won to set them up for a main event push, just so happens the crown never gave a crap about them.
I think if regal won it, he would be over big time.

I had a dream about him this morning that was getting hot and heavy but my mother woke me up and I was angry to say the least.
