William Regal On The Secret To Scouting Talent, If He Can Still Go In The Ring, Comments On Inoki Choking Him Out

NXT General Manager William Regal is the special guest on this week’s new episode of Sean Waltman’s X-Pac 1,2,360; you can read a few transcribed highlights below.

The show is also available to watch on YouTube, or download the podcast version on iTunes:

William Regal on if he still can go in the ring:

No. Where I wanted to get to and everything I tried to get to. I was doing it on my last run in ECW. The style and the things I was doing with CM Punk for the IC title.

William Regal talks about being choked out by Antonio Inoki:

That was the finish and I knew he wanted me to tap. I wasn’t gonna tap. I knew it would just be better if I didn’t. I’d been put out before, and I knew it be over really quick and it was. He put it on and I didn’t tap and I was out before I knew it. I was very fortunate that they picked me. I was the last of the British style that was a big thing in Japan. I was the only one around doing it at the time. I was very happy and honored. At the end of the day, who at my age can say that they fought  somebody that fought Muhammad Ali.

Regal talks about scouting talent:

One is to keep the people who are paying happy. They don’t have to book you, people seem to forget that – the second thing is connecting with your audience, but that can change. If they don’t like the way your connecting you gotta change & if you’re not willing to change you won’t fit into that company.
