I can't see the WWE doing it, but I would definitely snatch up a William Regal DVD set. The documentary would be fascinating, especially if they go deep into Regal's background, and even touch on things like him kicking the crap out of Goldberg and being booted from WCW for hurting "the golden boy." They'd have to kayfabe that element up, though. JBL could recite stories about how Regal held him against a wall on his first day there (can't remember where I remember hearing that). Triple H could talk about the impact William Regal had on his career, and all that. You could even do a chapter on some of the men Regal has trained, continuing on his legacy.
The matches would also be fantastic. He's got an unusual style, but Regal's matches are so full of nuance -- I would love to see an alternate commentary track with Matt Striker pointing out everything he can about what Regal is up to in the match. I've long been waiting for a main event push for Regal, and it was coming last year, until Regal fucked it up. A DVD like this could go a long way to giving Regal that "respected veteran" quality that often alludes him, just because he doesn't win as much as he could, and because he is so great at playing a villain.
