William Regal to Retire!!!



WWE Star William Regal to Retire!
By Phil Allely

At London's O2 Arena last night WWE superstar William Regal (real name Darren Matthews) told the capacity crowd this would be the last time they would see him perform in the UK.
In a nice speech he said: "I've been doing this now for almost 30years. We've got an incredible, new crop of WWE superstars coming through. Maybe this is my last tour, thank you very much."
"This was the way I wanted to end it all. Thank you." Said the UK legend.
Regal never won a world heavyweight championship in any of the US promotions he worked for, although his haul of belts comprises almost everything else including WWE Tag Team, Intercontinental, Hardcore and European gold, as well WCW's Television Title. Regal also netted some titles across the globe on his travels.
Regal was also the 2008 King of the Ring. Regal worked with everyone from Big Daddy and Giant Haystacks in the UK and covered the globe to pursue his grappling, winding up as a popular and talented member of the WCW and WWE rosters through his sheer determination and in-ring ability. Facing most of the top stars in those promotions at one time or another, during his career, including HHH, Shawn Michaels and ‘Stone Cold’ Steve Austin.
He also takes credit for training many of today's top stars, including WWE standouts Daniel Bryan and CM Punk and TNA's Samoa Joe.
The 42-year-old recently signed a new three-year contract with WWE, it's expected he will now move into a behind-the-scenes role similar to the one held by close friend Fit Finlay.
