    william regal is one of those guys that (and i had a wonderful one i wouldnt replace for anyone) but you completely get when people half jokingly say "i wish he was MY DAD" just cus he seems like such a pure, honest, sensitive but also real and stern soul.
    a true old school REAL man

      I caught that and WOW!! I Think I see the problem now and I don't think not absorbing this well of knowledge is the biggest problem. It's a problem but I think it's more about respect for the business.... This.... This was their life and seeing some of these cats just come in make their selves at home. Keep in mind before AEW, there was only one way.the road they all traveled. The hard way. I understand that. It's all about protecting the institution they helped and just seeing some new guys showing up, cutting corners and well going about it all wrong. Do not get me wrong . I like a lot of the new school too. Especially FTR. They live and die this business. To me, they're like the second coming of the Midnight Express. MJF - Holy ****!!! When he's done he may arguably the best heel ever. Well next to Cornette of Course. 😂😈😂. Ricky Starks. This one just recently happened. I had no clue he wrestled at NWA Corrigan's baby rebirth. If you told me 30 years ago this dude would not only release one of the best alt rock albums ever Siamese Dream but was an avid wrestling fan who'd go on to buy NWA. I'd of told you I hope i brought that **** with you when you stop by.
      Kenny Omega. The Jackal is his manager. He can't be all bad. Truth be told, he's not like any other wrestler I've ever seen. I think what puzzles me with this guy is and maybe it's just me... I feel like he's stuck on a loop. He's capable of so much more. You didn't blow up in Japan for no reason. When he's on, He could wrestle a broom stick and make it seem compelling. When he just mails it in, your just left with this OFFS look on your face.
      The Bucks. I'm a wrestling fan not a gymnastics meet junkie. I've seen most Star Wars movies. I do not recall Ewoks flying. I wanted to like these guys in the beginning I did but the whole trying to sell this timeless fiction of how hard they've worked to get to where they are... Really? I had no idea crowd sourcing and riding coattails was so demanding. Now don't get me wrong they're talented but they seem to have convinced all their fans if you don't like the Bucks you're haters. That's not it at all. They want is all the glory without the work. All I can think of is aww cute the invincible Ewoks are back. Yay uh no. And the biggest problem of all. Meltzer. It's no secret he's a fan boy keep the fan boy part in mind. and that's fine. That's fine. But here's the problem I have. He's never a match in his life. Some douche did the dumbest thing I've ever seen in my life. Ok not dumbest but close yesterday if an actual wrestler gives you constructive solid answers and you cannot control your emotions don't tell them you prefer Meltzers answer because he seems to know more. I damn near died of laughter. If I wanted to educate myself about how things work. I'm definitely going with experience. I sure as hell wouldn't take my car to a fry cook. I understand they got their fans cutting corners he name drops only when it suits him. How many articles do you have to write a week on the same subject? I will say this, they have one hell of a damage control team because they scramble like squirrels to get out there and create their own biassed narrative. It is not my intent to make their fans mad at all. I know I used some harsh terms to describe them. There was a time when I did kind of like them but I definitely see how they operate now. Nor am I saying no one should like. Are you freaking kidding me? I get it. They have a target audience that they appeal to but I will say this the next one of you little twinks that messages me calling me a ****rider. I'm calling your parents. Just kidding. Call me what you want if I dish it so must I take it. But I think that as long as they stay in AEW, They can stay at the top of the food chain for quite a while.

      too bad he never gets the credit which he truly deserves as they had him in embarrassing roles mostly as a heel duriing his career for example we seen him butt naked backstage promo with teddy long no way out and first blood match with triple H. These things happen in 2007 and 2008. He deserves the same treatment as Kurt Angle and Chris Jericho especially siince he never left WWE to go work for other wrestling promotion that probably would have treated him better. My point is that besides been a great technical wrestler he was also great if we watch his promos with the Rock. Kurt Angle and Chris Jericho promos with the rock during the attitude era was equally entertaining as Mr Regal.

Kurt Angle and Steve Austin were put in that situation where they were trying to get Vince approval and would hug him.

    Honestly, the guys in AEW who think they know everything therefore they don't need to hear any advice/constructive criticism from a veteran of the business like Regal, are douchey af. No one ever knows everything about anything and you should learn at least 1 new thing a day. I dont blame Regal for wanting to go back to WWE where his son is and where there's talent that will actually seek and listen to his advice.

      There’s only a few younger guys I’ve heard talk openly about seeking advice or learning from anyone else. MJF has talked about his time in MLW and Jericho has said he came to him advice help. And Starks, who’s heaped praise on Punk for his willingness to help. Consequently, both more over organically than Adam Page, Jungle Boy or anyone else on Team Buck. Almost like Jericho, Danielson and Punk know something about being successful in American wrestling
