William Regal talks about his favourite moment of wrestling career


Recently on WWE Network's "Table for 3", King Barrett set along with William Regal and WWE World Heavyweight Champion Sheamus and chatted in an episode dubbed as " Kings' Court". It's notable that all 3 men have won the WWE King of the Ring tournament in past.

Regal said that dressing in Drag was his favourite moment of his wrestling career:
"That was probably my favourite thing I've ever done in the entire time I've been in wrestling. doing that was the most actual fun I ever had".
Regal said that Raw was emanating from Las Vegas that night, and then only the Raw Roulette idea came up. He said that he was asked to dress in drag for his match against Goldust:
"If I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it right, I want the full Vegas showgirl [regalia]. I want the thing, but where are we going to get [that]? I want red high heels. Where are we going to get that? It just happened that we were in Vegas. Well, actually, I'm nearly a [size] 12 [shoe], so they went and got me 13 size red [heels], but we were in Vegas, so it was okay. It all worked out nicely."
Regal joked about his man's man gimmick and said that the only good thing about that part of his career is that he has "no recollections" of it. Regal was struggling with drug issues at that time and does not recall much of his time:

"It lasted five weeks. I had a 30-year solid wrestling career in 40 countries and I'd been pretty successful at lots of things, but that five weeks has defined my entire career. And people still sing that song to me every day and I'm not making this up, every time I call the office, and they put me on hold, it's that thing playing down the phone line."
Regal also advised the young professional wrestlers not to take themselves too seriously. He gave the example of "Stone Cold" Steve Austin and Kurt Angle, two guys who are considered very tough in the business:
"If you take yourself too seriously, you've got no chance in this job. You cannot take yourself seriously. You've got to embrace whatever is given and make the most of every opportunity to make it funny or to make it memorable. [Austin and Angle are] two serious fellas, right? So comfortable with themselves they're happy to do anything. That's the key to it. When you're happy and you're comfortable with yourself and you're not worried about being a top guy, you'll make the most out of anything and make it work."
Also King Barrett talked about meeting Sheamus for the first time and his belief that they both would make it to WWE.
