Spring 2008: William Regal

I loved that angle. It's a shame Regal ruined it for himself, because I was fairly certain Regal was going to be the WWE Champion sooner or later. He had moved to RAW because Triple H is a big supporter of the guy -- and I recall Triple H being the WWE Champion at the time. I always envisioned Regal using his corrupt powers to put Triple H in a match against him that Regal just couldn't lose.

Regal would then go on to have a Honky Tonk (not in duration) reign, where he would demand his opponents get disqualified for using a closed fist, whereas he could not be DQ'd, etc. Eventually, the WWE Title would be taken off Regal by CM Punk -- using Money in the Bank, and catching Regal in a situation that he couldn't control.
