Biff Busick Credits William Regal For Getting Him Hired, Was Burnt Out By Empty Arena Shows

Oney Lorcan was signed by WWE in September 2015 and won the NXT Tag Team Championships alongside Danny Burch during his time in the company.

He was a fixture on NXT television throughout his time in the company and was aligned with Pat McAfee at one point.

Speaking to Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated, Lorcan, who has returned to using the name Biff Busick, credited William Regal for getting him hired.

“I wouldn’t have been hired if it wasn’t for Regal,” Busick says. “And I loved it at the Performance Center. Learning from Regal, Shawn Michaels and Triple H, you learn so much from being around them. There’s Matt Bloom, Norman Smiley and Terry Taylor. There is so much experience, which is the greatest teacher of all. I’ll always have fond memories of the six years I was there.”

Busick was released by WWE on November 4.

“When COVID hit and we had to do those shows without a crowd at the [WWE Performance Center], or when they started bringing people in, it just wasn’t the same,” Busick says. “I was burned out from those circumstances. William Regal would always tell me there were two types of shows—large arena shows and small room shows. They are different environments, and they both have their positives, but I’ve always been a fan of smaller room shows. To be so close and personal, and be so close to the fans, especially in Beyond, it’s an experience unlike any other. This is where I cut my teeth, and I’m really excited to get back and wrestle.”

With his non-compete clause up, Busick will return to wrestling on Friday, February 4 at Beyond Wrestling.

In an interview with Left My Wallet, Busick explained why he loved learning from Shawn Michaels. You can find his full comments by clicking here.

Fightful will have results from Beyond Wrestling following the conclusion of the event.
