William Regal's appearance on Talk Is Jericho is a tough listen. He, pretty much unprompted, explains all the health issues he went through in recent years, including, but not limited to: open heart surgery, being given days to live, almost losing a leg, fracturing his eye socket, and discovering that he had been wrestling with a broken neck since 1993.
He gets openly emotional and cries at a couple of points but, in a typically Regal way, it's not really when discussing his health, but when talking about how proud he was of Bryan Danielson carrying him to a good match when he was injured, and how proud the wrestlers in the first WWE UK tournament made him feel by showing up looking like "proper professionals".
I could listen to him read the phone book, so I'm glad they're doing a second part at some point. To his credit, Jericho rarely interjects either, he just lets Regal talk.
