William Regal has a wrestling career that’s well traveled and it absoluteky worthy of a podcast. Lo and behold, enter “Gentleman Villain” on AdFreeShows.com. With co-host Matt Koon, the first episode of the podcast kicked off early on AdFreeShows before it officially debuts on June 2. The topic at hand involved the emergence of AEW and it going up against NXT. During the conversation, Regal talks about Triple H’s vision for his orginal NXT and The Game was aiming for a vibe with high drama, but with a little bit of everything mixed in.
“I asked Triple H, what’s your vision on this? He said, you know when you watch one of those great shows like Boardwalk Empire or Sopranos, or all these incredible dramas, you can have a bit of everything in that,” Regal said. “You can have really serious stuff, a bit of funny stuff, you can have incredibly well-done stuff. That’s the vision of what I want this to be because wrestling can be all kinds of things. He said, if you watch any of those shows, you never see anyone from the biggest to the smallest role look out of place. That’s what was going through my mind when looking for talent.”
