Can Master Regal do it?

**Mr. Nerfect** · 09-09-2011, 06:58 PM

Although William Regal has actively spoken about retiring from in-ring competition, and has been shifted into a role as an announcer on NXT (whilst getting practice calling matches in FCW), Master Regal recently posted the following on Twitter:

"Trying to think if Teddy Long owes me a favour.I need to get a World Championship match on Smackdown on Liverpool. Maybe the last chance I have of becoming the first English World Champion in front of WWE's loyalist fans.

Some people are saying I'm passed it.Maybe so but @WWE,look at it as charity.Give an old rogue a chance."

Do you think the Gentleman Villain has got any shot whatsoever at achieving this? It seemed that back in 2008, Regal was all set for a monster push as a main event heel -- serving as the tyrannical General Manager of RAW and winning the 2008 King of the Ring. But a second wellness suspension completely ruined those plans, and who else is there really to blame but Regal?

That being said -- Regal's last suspension was three years ago, and Regal has proven to be an entertaining and valuable asset to the WWE -- perhaps even for life. Triple H is reportedly said to be a huge fan of the man, and Regal has had no problems helping to create new stars in the past. Would becoming the first British World Heavyweight Champion in history be a befitting end to the career of Master Regal? Does the man deserve it (as far as one can deserve being given a top prize in the company)? Has he already had his "thank you" title run, when he won the Intercontinental Title from Santino Marella when the WWE went over to England a couple of years back?

Regal's Twitter is, of course, flooded with comments about how he should be given the chance to win the World Heavyweight Title. Many are getting themselves wet over the idea of William Regal vs. Daniel Bryan for the World Heavyweight Title at WrestleMania XXVIII. That's not something I considered, even for a competitor as respected as Regal; but what's really stopping the WWE there? Regal and Bryan would have a tremendous match, which is what the WWE would want out of a Bryan match at WrestleMania -- and it would make a tremendous WrestleMania moment. The prime option, in my mind, was Orton vs. Bryan -- which may do more to solidify Bryan, granted -- but won't have the same emotional story behind it.

The WWE will be touring England again in November, which is around the time of Survivor Series -- which is where I could see them giving Regal a nice little run, without really stepping on anyone else's toes. But does it have any shot of happening?
