William Regal should be in the main event

I actually just read the two post above mine and totally agree with Timmy there are guys like JBL, Khali, and Rey who were champs on Smackdown a couple years ago when there werant that many other option besides them guys Booker and Taker and even Mark Henry because of Eddies passing and guys like Angle and Brock leaving the company so in reality the probably never deserved the title.
The king of the Ring thing is a great point as well, but the KOR was brought back to give Booker T a new gimmick and same with Regal and I think that Kennedy was actually supposed to win the tounrament as a replacement for I foret who got replaced, but he was filming BEL 3 unfortuately. Billy Gunn also won that prestigious award for some off the wall reason well never be able to explain
 
William Regal, Potentionaly a great superstar but a big waste. He Won King Of The Ring and any superstar who win's it has gained Championship gold e.g Bret Hart
Edge
Triple H
Stone Cold
Booker T
Kurt Angle

*cough* Billy Gunn *cough*
*cough* Mabel *cough*

Anyway, enough of proving people wrong.

Regal is a decent wrestler. He's had some good matches with Punk, those 2 work well together.

But he's got no real charisma, which is something most champions need these days.
And also, if he's stupid enough to get himself suspended, then no, he really doesn't deserve to be in the main event. As good or over as he may be.
 
The wwe needs in my opinion new heel main eventers. Randy orton,Edge,Chris jericho,Jbl are good main event heels.But i feel wwe needs a new main event heel. I no they just turned Matt hardy heel but is that really going to get him in the main event after the jeff hardy feud is done. I dont think so. Thats why i think William regal is the perfect heel to be in the main event .

If you recall early 2008 he was the raw genreal manger and won king of the ring and made himself the most powerful authority aside of the mcmahons in the wwe he was a really good heel at that time turning the lights off on the crowds when he booed him and disrespect him alot He was really good heel at the time great mic skills good in ring skills and besides who would not want to hate a evil king manager I thought his kotr run would of put in the main event get him in the world title shot but since he since he was suspend his push went out the window later in the year he won the ic title he had a decent little run with good a match with cm punk at best and his feud with jamie noble early on was pretty good he gain a valet in layla.

If you dont think he belong in the main event here are more points why he should be in it. The guy has been in the company for 11 years now longer then the hardys boys and they got world title regin (yes im countin the ecw title as well) the guy can get heel heat maybe not as good as y2j edge orton and jbl but he gets pretty good heal heat. He is also a draw when wwe gose to england so that when ever wwe trys to have a ppv in the uk regal might get a title shot by then. He has the look to be a world champion and vince always wants people with the look and he is great on the mic

now those are just a few reasons why i think william regal should be in the main event do you agree with me or disagree with me why or why not

First off, how can you say the WWE needs more/new heels... you have Orton & Jericho doing what they do best over on Raw, and you have Edge along with his stable (Show, Vickie,etc) holding it down fine over on SD. Heck, even ECW is doing just fine with Swagger as their top heel. No one new is needed- especially someone as lifeless/much of a waste as Regal is.

Now, as for your argument about why he deserves to be in the main event-- its ridiculous. He's been in the WWE for 11 years... doing not much of anything... he's lucky he hasnt been released... oh wait, been there done that. He's been dumb enough to get suspended as well during the biggest push he was ever gonna get, thus blowing all the heat he had on him & the steam he had with the KOTR win/his GM role.

I also dont think you have a valid argument about him drawing in England- the WWE draws in England- do you think anyone from the UK (rabid fans, mind you) would not go to a WWE show just because Regal's not there anymore? The answer is no- with the limited number of shows taht the WWE holds overseas, they're almost always sold out no matter what, no matter who's going to perform over there, they'll love it, cuz there are some great fans over there.

And i dont know what you mean about him having the 'look' of a world champion... you didnt even elaborate on that, you just said it rather blindly, but I'd love to see a rebuttal from you.
 
Regal had his chance to be in the main-event but his suspension messed that up. I don't know what's in store for him now. Maybe he will get drafted to Smackdown or ECW but I see him staying on RAW until Rhodes or Dibiase are in the IC title picture.
 
Is Regal a maineventer? Probably not, but then again were The Great Khali, Giant Gonzalez, Damian Demento and others? No. Regal could be used well though as a good heel getting a babyface main eventer over type of guy (poor english I apologize). Someone mentioned earlier a stable with Burchill Gabriel Finely. The idea is good but the characters are not. You could have his heel Royal court behind him with Burchill and Lawrence Knight (FCW) as the bruisers along with Gabriel as Steve Lewington (original name) to do mid-card promos and get the brunt of babyface attacks which allows Regal to escape. This give hime the opporunity to loose without losing face. It also give Gabriel a character that isn't a joke and Burchill and Knight the chance to break out like other is the same stable rolls did (Diesel, Batista, Luger, etc.). If it doesn't work, have them disbanded and nothing is lost. If it works, you have a nice heel stable to work over the next year until something better comes along and give the WWE a chance to put over some young babyface talent on their way to the top by overcoming the odds. That's the only way he could be a maineventer in my opinion. Thoughts?

Yeah Billy Gunn, Shamrock, Owen hart and Mabel all won that WWE belt :rolleyes:

But in all seriousness Regal should NOT be in the main event, he rarely wrestles and is far from over in the ring. His style is rather unique to everyone else in WWE and fans would rather see a quicker match, then a Regal technical brawl where he cheats to win. At 41, he's a bit old to be pushing on the Main Event scene (yeah there are people in their forties on the Main Event scene, but they have been there for years, not newcomers to it.)

I'm not going to mention the wellness violation because it didn't harm Jeff.
 
I'm going to be honest... I love William Regal. He's amusing and he can get it done in the ring. His problem is that in the middle of his biggest push, the guy goes and gets himself suspended on a Wellness Violation.

Regal is one of those guys the American audience love to hate. He's not American, he can be smug, arrogant and rude all he wants and it draws heat. His reason is that he's too average to make it to the main event.

Yes, the push last year was a good thing to see and a lot of people were excited about seeing Regal, Birchill and Lea pushed to the forefront because they were a convincing force. But the plans fell apart and I don't see Regal rebuilding that quickly. If he does, he has to be patient and wait until he has regained the confidence of management. Kinda like a certain high flyer whose title run went SO well
 
Yeah I think that my idea of the stable in ECW can really work, WWE seems to dump all the people from the UK in ECW, so why not have them unite over that? Take over ECW. Bring in some talent from RAW and Smackdown to try and rid ECW of the heel Brit stable that dominates the younger guys on ECW, Ricky Ortiz, TJ Wilson etc. Then they could try to take over Smackdown and the stable could end in a feud with The Undertaker or a big main eventer who has a few matches with Regal and ends up banishing the stable. Leading to the release of the two undercard guys and Regal being a jobber (again). But at least he would of had a decent run, or the whole stable thing could end with a Regal retirement angle? I don't know.
 
DEFINATELY NOT.

All he can do is take and give stiff shots. His hair is a mess and he mic work is old.
 
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!

No he's not at all a main eventer. I can't stand watching him in the ring, his promo's as GM were pretty good.... That's the only praise i can give him, it really is. I just can't get myself to be entertained by him. I have never liked him but since coming on these forums i've noticed quite a few people are really into him so i've tried to see something in him since joining WZ but i still feel the same.

I'd be happy if he were released.
 
I think that Regal should get a world title reign only because has earned it. Nothing long, maybe 6 months. His character can go any direction. He is slick, and a tough son of a bitch. Regal doesn't have that Batista build, but it doesn't matter because he is entertaining for the most part. He is best as a heel, and I can't imagine him anyother way. The question what leverage would he have to hold on to the title so long? I would say partners like Paul, and Gabriel to other Brits.

You're basically saying he should be in the main event for things he did as a GM, a non-wrestling role. Eric Bischoff should've been in the main event too, if that's the case. What has he done as a wrestler to truly justify a main-event push?

later in the year he won the ic title he had a decent little run with good a match with cm punk

I was happy so see Regal win the belt, but he had a terrible reign. He only defended it against Punk in a couple of short matches with lame endings. The match that Punk won the title wasn't that great either. Their KoTR match was much better in my opinion.

and his feud with jamie noble early on was pretty good he gain a valet in layla.

That fued started somewhat promising, but went nowhere. They didn't put any time into it, so no one cared. How low was the percentage for their match at Cyber Sunday again? As far as Layla goes, meh. She 'aight I guess.

The guy has been in the company for 11 years now longer then the hardys boys and they got world title regin

Being there forever doesn't mean you should be a main eventer. If that's how it works, Hardcore Holly should be main-eventing Wrestlemania this year, not Orton.

Regal's fine as he is: a mid-carder. He can have great fueds with Punk, Kofi, maybe even Bourne. He can help the younger guys improve and get them over since, as you stated, he's a good heel. He doesn't have the look of a main eventer. He's old looking and flabby. JBL is too, but JBL is a bigger guy and big guys tend to get pushed. Besides, you could argue JBL doesn't belong in the main event either, but that's another thread.

This is though, Matt Hardy won't make it as a Main Event heel, likely for the same reason William Regal never would. Because the fans just don't buy into believing either of them are that good of heels/faces.

Hardy (Matt) couldn't get over as a great face, and ultimately it took Edge fucking Lita, to even save his career. Since then, it's now taking the popularity his brother, Jeff, has been receiving, to even remotely get people to give Matt a reaction.

Regal never got great reactions, but he did get some. He isn't exactly young, and right now the Main Event scene needs new (younger) talent, not older, soon to be gone, talent.

If you recall early 2008 he was the raw genreal manger and won king of the ring and made himself the most powerful authority aside of the mcmahons in the wwe he was a really good heel at that time turning the lights off on the crowds when he booed him and disrespect him alot He was really good heel at the time great mic skills good in ring skills and besides who would not want to hate a evil king manager I thought his kotr run would of put in the main event get him in the world title shot but since he since he was suspend his push went out the window later in the year he won the ic title he had a decent little run with good a match with cm punk at best and his feud with jamie noble early on was pretty good he gain a valet in layla.

His KotR run was a joke. He defeated Hornswoggle, an injured Finlay, and a tired Punk. His feud with Kennedy failed because the moron got caught using a banned substance.

Upon returning, he took the Intercontinental title off Sanino, because it gave Punk a "slightly bigger name" to defeat, when that was the plan all along. He had a failed run as Champion, as he never defended or defeated anyone. It lasted like a month, and all he did was add Layla as a valet.

He only got pops when he turned the lights off, because people in this world are untrusting and likely could've picked your pockets. They weren't popping for him, they were popping for themselves.

If you dont think he belong in the main event here are more points why he should be in it. The guy has been in the company for 11 years now longer then the hardys boys and they got world title regin (yes im countin the ecw title as well)

Him being older is NOT a plus. It's a negative, and a very bad one at that. Jeff Hardy had a failed run as Champion, but had a run because the fans craved for it. Matt won't see a "real" World title run, and if he does I'd be shocked to beat hell.

Regal's only slight chance at becoming a World Champion contender, was wasted when he got busted.

the guy can get heel heat maybe not as good as y2j edge orton and jbl but he gets pretty good heal heat.

That's just it. Why give the spot to someone who draws LESS heat, than all the current guys? That doesn't make any sense at all. If anything, going by that ideal concept.. guy's like Santino should be World Champions, and guy's like Triple H. should be jobbing in under 2 minutes.

The people who deserve pushes, are those who get great pops.

He is also a draw when wwe gose to england so that when ever wwe trys to have a ppv in the uk regal might get a title shot by then. He has the look to be a world champion and vince always wants people with the look and he is great on the mic

The W.W.E. will likely NEVER hold another Pay per view in the U.K., because the spoilers for 'said' p.p.v. would be put on the net before the show came on for the U.S.. unless of course they ran the show at like 2-5a.m. in the U.K., so it could run at 7p.m. State time.

I think this is definetley a good idea kind of like a main event un-americans (from 2002) the wwe has always been the most watchable with heel stables and I know there are some more being introduced now with legacy and edge and vickie (&big show?) but one on ecw defitnetly couldn't hurt they could even feud with Swagger if he ever turned face the all american american thing could be something regal hates and wants to take the ecw title, regal for the win!!
 
I like Regal :O

cut his hair and change his custard donut physique and i'd be all for it.

he gives good, stiff shots and can take moves pretty well also.
his mic work aint to shabby either...

give Layla more of a purpose aswell. :S
 
William Regal is a great wrestler but unfortunately he's not over with the fans and thats whats keeping him from the main event
 
Regal isn't over and doesn't deserve to be a main event wrestler. I think he should be used only to put other people over at this point. He is boring in the ring. Make him and Santino a jobber tag team, about all they are good for.
 
No he shouldnt. hes way passed his prime. hes done. that bum blew his final chance to get a main event slot over a year ago, and shouldn't be let back to main event. hes not over. if ur not over, u can't main event, or atleast shouldn't.
