That's the other thing with Regal. He always comes off as a very humble guy. It's hard to say what he wants to do and what he doesn't.

Being off coke probably has changed Regal a lot. When’s the last time he’s done physical comedy bits?

Okay HHH, now you've got a head of creative for when you pitch to Mark Cuban and Viacom. ?

This would be a better angle than literally any angle in pro wrestling in years.

Thinking about how Lord Alfred Hayes had an on-camera role for such a long time and decades later, they possibly never considered having Regal commentate or do something else on TV once they lost interest in him as NXT Commissioner.

It wouldn’t shock me if he flunked some part of the test for what they want in a main show WWE Commentator. Unless he also didn’t want to travel to do Raw/Smackdown, it seems like they could have at least kept him around to be an onscreen personality

Regal initially did commentary with Ross in NXT. He wouldn't fit WWE's style.

 

Gabe Sapolsky's booking, and really, everything about him has aged like milk. You'd be better off hiring fucking Ben from here to be a head booker.

He's good at it, is what I'm hearing.

Exactly.  He must talk like a human being.

Lord Steven Regal and Gordon Solie is the best commentary team ever. Shame almost nobody got to hear them... presumably the tapes of 93 Worldwide (international edition) are in WWE's vault somewhere.

If it’s Taz in character, and Regal in old character, then you might have something.

Me neither. Can't wait for the SC lads to one day post something like "HILLBILLY JIM WORKRATE BANGERS"

@Matt D is that Andre/Snuka v Piper/Schultz tag you recently reviewed still floating around online? 

Assuming someone will already have posted this, but:

 

I mean, I guess technically it was already posted the last time they released him.

I mean, at this point, just put a billboard on top of Titan that says FUCK YOU HUNTER 

I’ll reiterate what i said last time: I just want Joe to walk the Earth and have great matches everywhere. Don’t get tied down to one place.

if the WWE just uploaded all the C/D show stuff they had, they could launch a  channel on the same level of early JustinTV channels that just ran loops of 1995 WCW syndicated TV.

There's gotta be some old wrestler with Omni footage that Nick Khan was a mark for in the 80s.

we need more of this in general. guys moving around. Used to be Vince would get guys in their latter 30s or early 40's and they'd stick around for maybe 5 years (Orginal Hulkamania run was about 10 years with much less television exposure) Now you have guys like Orton who are fixtures on weekly tv for 20 years

Trips being Kendall Roy to Vince's Logan Roy is almost as compelling as Succession is.

Hunter is Tom. 

Just now, John from Cincinnati said:

Hunter is Tom. 

Tom was competent enough to overthrow his wife and align with her father. Hunter is definitely not Tom. 

Though the idea of Hunter having his own "Greg" is great and they should have had a wrestler fill that role when they were doing all that Authority stuff.

I ask why they bothered re-signing him, but then again you could say that about a lot of the people released as of late.

Please give us Joe in the next Bloodsport.

Shawn Michaels was the real Judas in my mind.
