William Regal wrestled with a broken neck for nearly 30 years and should have been paralyzed.
While executing a German suplex against Ricky Steamboat at Fall Brawl 1993, Regal bridged with his neck and heard a booming crack that caused his arms to go numb. Despite this, Regal would still claim the World TV Title.
Decades later, William Regal's legs gave out under him on two occasions within the course of two weeks, so he knew something was wrong.
After consulting with a doctor before doing commentary for NXT, it was apparent that his neck was a wreck and needed to be treated immediately.
After being sent to Dr. Joseph Maroon, he told William Regal that he only saw a neck in that poor condition from someone already in a wheelchair. It was a miracle Regal was even walking.
Regal had a baseball-sized ball of a calcified deposit that held his neck together.
Following his initial surgery, Regal was sent to a New York specialist for his second surgery, where four discs were fused.
