Could you have seen William Regal as a top heel in the 90’s?

[Dusty Bake Activate]

He was a midcard mainstay in WCW, but I don’t see why he couldn’t have been in a top heel either in WCW or WWF.

He was a great technical wrestler, he could talk and draw heat and he was not a “vanilla midget.”

I dont know but I used to hate when his music would hit on WCW Saturday Night at 6:05pm on TBS

Him, Alex Wright, Bagwell and DDP were the Saturday Night gawds.

No.

Regal beat people up in the ring so yes.

Add Scott Hall, Sgt. Craig "Pitbull" Pittman, and the State Patrol to that list.

Regal is one of the GOAT villains (his word) of wrestling. I could absolutely see him in some company's main event scene.

 

[DANJ!]

Probably in the early-2000s, or the mid-90s if he had come to the WWF.

 

[Killah Ray]

Smokey Mountain or ECW? Maybe…

His gimmick was not forward enough to create the convincability then.

Now if he was used like say where daniels gimmick was lifted.
Or supposed to be for like the higher power instead of vince. I could see him being plugged into that with high quality and succeeding where vkm failed.

I thought WCW tried pushing him as a top heel at one point when they had Regal doing Best of 5 matches with Flair and pimp slappin' Sting on national television

Flair and Vader were the top heels the whole time until Giant then the NWO. And you could forget about Hoegan ever working with a technical wrestler like him. He would rather wrestle Brutus Beefcake at Starrcade.

Like someone said he would’ve had a better shot in the WWF if given the proper push. He could’ve worked good matches as a heel against HBK, Hitman, Rock or Austin.

 

[Alexander The Great]

Naw he was always going to be mid card during that era. His best chance would have been 2010s
