I love it when people call Hogan lousy. I also love it when people use "The Rock" in the same sentence as anyone else in wrestling history when it comes to mic skills. But all jokes aside...
I think Regal has a decent push in him, but I really doubt him carrying that title at any point. He has the charisma, and he is good in the ring, but there are health issues, and age to consider. Yeah Hogan got title runs in his 40s and stuff, but that was Hulk Hogan, a name bigger than Regal could ever fulfill. Like him or not.
I don't see Regal as any sort of draw, and I think some of the support he's getting is because he is playing the role of Eugene's sympathetic protector, a role that any fan would love to see played out when they see their precious Eugene taken advantage of by the most evil guy on RAW in Triple H.
I'm not saying he can't cut it on his own, but I don't see him getting enough support to be a champ over guys like Benoit, Orton, Triple H, or some of the other potential. I'm surprised that Triple H is working this angle though, it must mean that the WWE has a lot of faith in Eugene and POSSIBLY Regal. So it's hard to say for now.
