William Regal talks about almost dying
Regal was recently released by WWE. On this week’s “Gentleman Villain,” William Regal was asked if he had any funny stories about Vince McMahon. Regal went on to state that they share a “great relationship” and it “doesn’t matter what’s happened recently.”
He then went on to elaborate that never got too friendly with Vince but they shared a cordial relationship during Regal’s time in the company. Regal stated how he owes his life to the WWE Chairman and said:
“… he was my boss. We can have a laugh and a joke now, and then there’s a day, and it’s happened recently, it’s time to go. There’s no hard feelings there because that’s business and there will never be any hard feelings and I’ll always have a loyalty. I would have died in 1999, so I owe my life. When I had my neck surgery, he might not have even known, but it was his company that paid for me to get the best surgeon, the only surgeon in the world, who could do the surgery that I needed.”
