Out-dated view of Regal's position on the roster? Yes, given that you brought up the point of Dave Taylor and Eugene. Regal is past teaming with Taylor, and is way past feuding with Eugene. That stuff is pretty out-dated. He won KOTR out of nowhere, which was a pleasant surprise. And he's getting a nice push, But why does he have to be WWE Champ? I didn't say he had to be. I think it would be nice if he was, because he is, as I have said, a fantastic entertainer, a fantastic wrestler, and someone I think that deserves to have a run with the belt, and is in a position to. Why does everyone have to be WWE Champ with you? They don't. For example: I am a fan of Jamie Noble. He is probably not going to be WWE Champ, and he really doesn't have to be from where I am sitting. Does it really matter? Yes and no -- no being from the standpoint that it won't really effect my life, personally speaking. Yes in that if I am to watch professional wrestling and be entertained, I'd like a better WWE Champion than John Cena, Triple H or Randy Orton from time-to-time. You don't think Regal should be WWE Champion? That is fine. I'm just saying that the way you made it sound, William Regal is a mid-carder based solely on your opinion of the guy. That's not a critique of your opinion, but it's just not evidence of he will never be WWE Champion. Especially when, as others pointed out, stranger things have happened. |

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. |

I . . . really don't care at this point if he draws well. Lol.
Regal getting a push is like a really hot chick I know is out of my league hitting on me while drunk, stoned, sleep-walking and hallucinating. I'm just going to roll with it and take it as far as it will go. What's best for the company is usually not entertaining to me. Doing something that I enjoy and doesn't make sense financially is better than doing something I hate that doesn't make sense financially, which they do fairly often. |

I think that if you two (kk and noid) ever meet in real life, you're gonna argue for a couple minutes and then just start making out.
Kind of like Sam and Diane from cheers. |

Kane Knight, You neg rep me constantly, yet I find myself enjoying your posts. I hate this about myself and you. One day you will go far in the world of whatever it is you do all day. Perhaps writing.
Noid you write quite a bit of fan fiction and one day you could be a writer at TNA or some other thing that no one will ever see. Good luck. Uwarrior, you probably won't read this but would you like to grab a pizza sometime and smoke a bowl and talk about japanese wrestling? I would. Thank you. |

As for Regal, I can see him returning to the ring full-time now (well, in storylines, I'm sure he'll continue to go weeks without wrestling, and may not work as many house shows), or maybe heading to SmackDown! to win the vacated World Heavyweight Championship.

I honestly don't know why they haven't revived the European Championship and established it as the unofficial championship of Heat. Val Venis and Charlie Haas could have traded the belt back and forth a few times in some good matches, and it'd create the illusion of depth on their resumes.

Either way, it was fun while it lasted. I really can't get the direction here, so I won't even try.

There is some hope for it, I guess. I really don't get the idea behind having Regal supported as General Manager by Vince one week, and then fired two weeks later, or so. I admit that I think I'll like Theodore Long as RAW General Manager (it seems to be what they hinted), as he has been wasted on SmackDown! for quite a while, pushing Vickie Guerrero around. Why was he even demoted to Assistant General Manager in the first place?
William Regal really should go to SmackDown! and win the vacant World Heavyweight Championship. The Undertaker winning it is not something Vince seems keen on, and Edge as World Heavyweight Champion has been done quite thoroughly. Regal with the belt could be...interesting. |

Teddy Long wasn't demoted so much as he was indisposed while he was in the hospital for the stroke or heart attack he had during the Wedding. Or whatever. Vickie was the replacement, and since WWE doesn't remember that it doesn't make sense he immediately became her errand boy when he was healthy.

Fuck the WWE, fuck Vince and fuck the writers.
The BEST thing they had going, they've nipped in the bud completely, for no apparent reason. Regal was getting more heat than I can remember in recent times, just for standing in the ring. I'm not bothering to watch now, if the spoilers/results spring something up decent with Regal, then maybe I'll bother. I can't for the life of me see how they think this is good. They had it great, carry this on into ONS and then begin the Regal/HHH feud they teased the other week. I guess Vince wants his spot back or something, fuck knows. |

Well, tbh, I think all the people who slated WWE's booking, whilst they have no faith, u should at least give them a week to see if something crops up or to see where the next RAW would take it.

Well, I guess we have a new reason to answer "no" to this question now. I still think we may see it, we'll just see it take a bit longer.

Oh, and by the way, people were bitching and pissed at WWE for something that was never promised with Jericho. That's a pretty different story from the one you're trying to paint.
