They already get them to put on fake accents as it is.

Regal has a Northern, Lancashire accent in his usual speaking voice, yet has been orating like a pompous aristocratic toff on TV for coming on two decades. I'd wager that, after over two decades of living in Germany and then the States, Finlay's Irish accent isn't quite as pronounced these days in real life as it is on TV. And even Burchill now speaks with an "American English" accent, now he's billed as being from Chelsea.

One of the few Brits ever to escape the upper-class, or indeed any, kind of stereotyping was Davey Boy Smith, and even he had to claim in his thick Leeds accent that "Lundun Engloond is mah hoom town".
