If it wasn’t for William Regal a lot of your favorite guys wouldn’t be on television. He got so many of us “indie guys” an opportunity. He will never take credit for that, but he deserves his flowers for helping and molding this generation of wrestlers. #ThankYouRegal pic.twitter.com/ib8GFIHHzE

James Drake of Grizzled Young Veterans spoke of Regal’s impact on creating NXT UK saying:

At the time, I didn’t have a big UK independent name. I was working shows around Morecambe and the holiday camps. Without him I wouldn’t be where I am today. There would be no @FSWrestlingUK or this version of the GYV.
He lives and breaths this job.
Thank you.
