One month ago there was some commotion about William Regal being
about to retire. This was of course a misread from his
promo to his homecrowd on a WWE England tour where he basically
told them that he doesn´t know if he will be back back.

He just took his time to clarify this on his Twitter
on @RealKingRegal

Never said I was retiring.I said it might be time
to start winding down but that could take a while.
Facts beat gossip every time. @tinauk

That being said I just read his awesome book "Walking
a Golden Mile" which really is recommended to anyone
interested in a now gone time in wrestling without
developmental systems but I digress.

Anyway- what is your take on William Regal? Would you
like to see him in an active role in the ring like
on this weeks Superstars? Or would you prefer a behind
the scenes role like color commentator/RAW GM/whatever?
Or should he retire altogether because he isn´t up to
it anymore in your view?

Personally I enjoy his ringwork just too much to let
him hang up his head and I am sure he won´t overdo it
because he takes too much pride in his body of work to
tarnish it with lackluster performances.

Keep doing what his doing like a goldust,undertaker still has matches but is not on the show everyweek his getting older now so he does need to wind it down a bit like he said himself having said that when their not on the show everyweek its more exciting when you do see them i think

i would like to see him as a speeker on the show i think his pretty damn funny with his englishman ways the season finale of nxt season one was gold

I'll be happy as long as he's still on TV, whether it be in the ring, GM, commentator, whatever. He exceeds at anything he does and I really hope he continues to do so. He's a great addition to the roster, especially when it comes to putting young guys over without losing any credibility whatsoever. I love him in the ring, I loved him as GM, and I'll continue to love him at whatever he does.

As long as William Regal is on my TV, I'm happy.

I think he can be a good mentor to young guys in WWE's developmental territories.

 

[vanderhevel]

i wish he was the gm, he was one of my favorite gms of all times.

 

[Simply...amazing]

the guy can still go better than half the roster...look his age might be high up, but age becomes irrelavant when he performs the way he's still able to and if he's healthy enough, now i'm not saying a over 60 year old wrestler(i'm looking at you flair) or whatever should compete in the ring, and i do believe in hanging up the boots as to avoid health problems later in life but the fact is this: Taker can still go better than alot of the talenbt in the ring, but he might have to consider retiring soon if for no other reason than his health(would be great to keep him as an onscreen personality though), but then u look at a guy like regal, he doesn't suffer from the health problems that eg taker does, so i would say let regal compete another few years if he still has that left(maybe 2 years or so), but if he should feel the wear on his body, then i would suggest retiring before it's too late.

 

[EraOfAwesome]

As long as he feuds with Bryan before he leaves I don't care what happens.

 

[Dark Storm]

If he's healthy enough, keep him at it, awesome, awesome guy.

 

[Noel]

He's someone like Goldust where the young stars will appreciate wrestling him, he's one of those guys that can make you look good without trying. Once his fitness goes then I think he's got an on-screen position easily. Commisioner Regal was gold TV.

 

[DesolationRow]

Six-week feud with Danielson over the United States Championship. Anything else is gravy.

 

[bellywolves]

I think he would be great manager in the future, possibly like Heyman was with Lesner. For now he should help the younger guys in ring or even be the Raw GM once more.

 

[Hibachi]

I would love to see him replace Teddy Long on Smackdown!

 

[Mister Hands]

I could happily watch him dissect Darren Young (or whatever faceless young wrestler they choose to feed him) on Superstars from here to eternity. And it'd only help his opponent.

 

[Cynic]

Six-week feud with Danielson over the United States Championship. Anything else is gravy.

This. Give the man some TV time - productive TV time, not bullshit segments with Goldust and Kozlov - before he rides off for good.

He's one of my all-time favorites, but it's really time for Regal to move on. He's better utilized in other capacities at this point. We know he's a great GM; he'd be a fantastic commentator as well.

 

[xShad0wBull3tZx]

I voted He should retreat to non-competing position. I don't think he should wrestle to much more to make sure his health is ok, but I wouldn't mind him being in a managerial type role.

 

[Moonlight]

He's the "Man's Man" whatever that means. He'll always be Steven Regal to me. I think he's still a good Tweener.

 

[Vin Ghostal]

He's the "Man's Man" whatever that means.

It means that he chops down trees in somewhat homoerotic clothes.

It's been said, but it's true: Regal is great in any capacity.

 

[Jerichoholic #7]

He should win the Royal Rumble.


HAHA, nah, the man's got enough World Championships. Anyways, if he retires from in-ring wrestling, I can see that happening. As he ages he wants to keep his body well. He should definitely be put on TV, like someone above stated- as SmackDown! GM Spot would be marvelous. If not, then he could be a mentor at a developmental facility.

 

[Koko B Ware]

I would love to see him replace Teddy Long on Smackdown!

That would be excellent.
