Anyone listened to Regal on Jericho’s podcast yet? Holy shit! What a laundry list of issues the man has had, really reframes his history of addiction too. Also, didn’t realise Charlie Dempsey in NXT: UK is Regal’s kid.

Just realized I would really like to see a Tajiri vs. Bryan Danielson match. But probably not in AEW. ROH would be great.

William Regal's appearance on Talk Is Jericho is a tough listen. He, pretty much unprompted, explains all the health issues he went through in recent years, including, but not limited to: open heart surgery, being given days to live, almost losing a leg, fracturing his eye socket, and discovering that he had been wrestling with a broken neck since 1993.
He gets openly emotional and cries at a couple of points but, in a typically Regal way, it's not really when discussing his health, but when talking about how proud he was of Bryan Danielson carrying him to a good match when he was injured, and how proud the wrestlers in the first WWE UK tournament made him feel by showing up looking like "proper professionals". I could listen to him read the phone book, so I'm glad they're doing a second part at some point. To his credit, Jericho rarely interjects either, he just lets Regal talk. |

One of the very best I’ve listened to. Can’t wait for part 2. It really explains why he was so “defensive” of WWE when they let him go as they paid for a lot of the medical stuff he needed.

When Regal was in NXT, I really wanted him to bring in Tajiri, Finlay and Nick Dinsmore to be his gatekeepers. Tajiri would still fit. They should just put him in the Andre Battle Royal and bring him back.

I fully beleive the reason asuka was able to get over so well with just facial expressions and body language was due to her time working with tajiri early in her career.

Shit like this is just stupid. Orton, Riddle and Rey totally count as top babyfaces. Just because they have a tag team partner doesn’t disqualify them from that. Also, Brock technically counts as being on the roster for all intents and purposes. Then you’ve also got the female babyfaces. Just so fucking stupid.

Agreed.
I don’t think there was a plan for RK-Bro to last this long but it caught on so they’re rolling with it for now but they could very easily pull either/both guys over to the singles ranks if they wanted to. It would pull a good portion of the tag division apart but that’s pretty standard. They’ve done a good job of putting a spotlight on Alpha Academy to support there but could do with trying elevate some other teams around them but tag wrestling is rarely a priority. They’ve also got Owens, Rollins, even Lashley they can turn at some point. I’d hold off the first 2 as they’ve not longed turned in Owens case, and Rollins last face run might stil leave a bad taste in the mouth for now. |

And it’s obvious why they’ve moved Edge and Priest across to the heel side…
They’re clearing the way for Cody to come in as the top face. |

Veer Mahaan has to be a face surely. Everybody is pulling for him to finally come.

Although obvious, at some point RK-Bro are going to turn on each other. And while most are going to want Orton to be the one that turns, it should be Riddle.

They should have this running gag where everyone thinks it’s Veer McMahon and they treat him like they do Vince.

And you can have Vince trying to explain every week but now that it’s just a series of inaudible/incoherent mumbles they can’t understand what he’s saying so just assume he’s reminding them to “look after Veer”.

They are building him up to be a face that doesn't get his opportunity. When he finally does, he will botch 3 moves in the match and then be released.

Downloaded all the 1996 ECW Hardcore TV episodes. All original music. Gonna do a complete watch. Hopefully it doesn't take as long as 97 ECW. That got rough towards the end.
