Claims about the AEW locker room and William Regal said to be “completely inaccurate”
As previously noted, there was a claim made by former WWE star EC3 that William Regal “immediately” regretted decision to sign with AEW. It was also said that wrestlers have not been “listening” to Regal and other veterans for advice.
According to BJ Bethel of SEScoops.com, the claims made were described as “completely inaccurate” by an AEW source. One source noted the following to the site…
“I can’t believe this is a story. It’s complete bullshit. There was never some schedule you had to be down at the ring and people blew it off, and (Regal) was never going to flat tell someone they had to come to the ring so he could coach them. Regal would work with someone, people would go down and show up, a lot of people took advantage of it. Other vets do it all the time. It’s always the younger women and men. Sometimes someone would work with someone one on one, other times there could be quite a few people down. It was totally informal.”
Another source said the following…
“Regal would even sit in the stands with guys to talk about the fans point of view, or the point of view of watching on TV. He would tell you about making sure to know how you are looking to fans as you come to the ring or how you would look on TV. He said to make sure you’re always really nice to the camera guys, they’re the ones who make you look good (laughing).”
