odessasteps Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I wonder in hindsight if TK should have hired Regal more as a backstage agent than as talent. You'd presume he would carry a lot of weight to the current generation of workers, not to mention being a cautionary tale on how you can ruin your career with bad life choices.

Regal talks a lot about how no one communicates anymore and how he’s excellent at mediating between parties and getting ahead of issues. Also that one of his NXT duties, official or not was to get to TV, check on people, and sometimes get ahead of certain “personal issues” that could negatively impact the company and their careers. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of surprising to me only because I envisioned him having a longer run as an announcer and eventually becoming office like Corino or Adam Pierce. I'm surprised he never really took on anymore roles in either of the NXT systems. With NXT Europe at least initially they intend on putting an effort into it , I'd think he'd have a place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornette doesn't look like he would try to get you to sleep with his wife, despite allegedly being the type of person who will get you to try to sleep with his wife. DDP, on the other hand, looks like a guy who is about to trying to butter you up to ask you something inappropriate. Wasn't there some rumors about him and Bischoff swapping wives? Both look more like the type than Cornette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray haired Bischoff looks like a guy sitting next to you on a plane who gives way too many details about his and his wife’s trip to Hedonism 2, he also tries to get a first class meal even though he’s sitting in coach. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC when Regal did that Unrestricted (right name?) podcast with Schiavone and Aubrey, Regal said he was burned out from that being his job for so long that he just wanted to hang back and observe or something Like basically, "I'm just here for the young guys to pick my brain, but I'm not here to take on management level duties" along those lines This is waaaaay back when he'd just joined, dunno where he stands now on that but hell yes he'd be perfect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 Are they going to do a video journey for Ricky Steamboat leading into his match like Flair. I'm not going to lie, those videos made me think Flair was at the least not shit the bed in that match. Sure Flair had no business in the ring at this point but in fairness he went into it hurt and dehydrated. Obviously he would have had a much better match with out those factors. Those weekly YouTube videos was some of the best build up to a match you'd see. You would think the promotioners of Steamboats match would start doing some sort of build up. Maybe show him doing drill or something considering it a month and a half away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
