Do you think we will get a William Regal WWE Championship reign?

Well, if I had to bet I'd still pick no just because it's safer odds. But it's a possibility. Like Destor said, Jericho Eddie and Benoit all did it. Even Rey did it. Booker, RVD and Edge did it too. Jeff would have done it if he wasn't a fuck up, and still may.

It's not as hard to become WWE champ as it once was, due to brand extension and constant attempts at creating new main event stars.
There was once a time where there'd only be 1 new first-time champ every 2 or 3 years, and at a given time only 2 or 3 former champs would be on the active roster and in the picture. Now you have more new champs in a shorter period of time, and on the current roster there has to be at least 10-15 former champs active and "in the hunt".
(thought of making this a topic for discussion once actually)

Look at JBL. That's gotta be the most out of left field world champ of all time and he held it for nearly a year. I never would have thought Bradshaw would win a world title, and Regal's current push is similar in many ways, as well as timing and randomness.
