Robert Leigh of talkSPORT has sent in the following recap of a 2 year old, never-before-released interview he did with NXT General Manager William Regal, and below are some highlights:
On John Cena’s work ethic:
“I’d go to war for John Cena. I’ve made more with John Cena just by being John Cena that anyone else I’ve ever met.
He works harder than anyone I’ve ever met, 30 hours a day, 500 days a year and will do anything and everything that is asked of him and couldn’t possibly work harder. He is a mega draw.”
Lamenting hopefuls who whine on social media or don’t take advantage of the wealth of knowledge available from the likes of himself or veteran agents Arn Anderson or Finlay, Regal says:
“Shame on them, they’re all ponies. They don’t belong in this business.”
“I’m familiar with everybody, that’s what I do.”
“You have to be. You’d be a proper fool if you weren’t looking for who’s out there. I’m a wrestling fan – before I was a wrestler, I was a wrestling fan. I like watching wrestling.
“You hear about people, you look them up, you watch them and you want to know: ‘Is he any good?’ That’s what I like to do.”
“If you’re not studying about your job if you want to be in this, or have a lasting career in this, you’re a div.
“This is ever-evolving, you’ve got to know how to make yourself fit into this. If you don’t know what’s coming through the door, you’re a fool.”
“I know everything that’s out there that’s worth knowing about.”
Nick was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, and lived there until the age of 18, when he decided to pack his flack jacket and move to New York City.
