Brian Pillman Jr Responds To Comments Regarding William Regal’s Advice Not Being Appreciated
Brian Pillman Jr adds context.
William Regal was effectively written off television on last Wednesday’s AEW Dynamite when he was clocked from behind with brass knuckles by MJF and taken out on a stretcher. Fightful Select reported on December 1 that “talent is of the belief that William Regal’s AEW deal could be up in December of this year.”
It was later reported that Regal would be heading back to WWE when his contract expired.
EC3 made headlines in an interview with Sportskeeda’s Wrestling Outlaws when he said, “When he [Regal] went over to AEW, the word was, he said, ‘I immediately regret this decision, there’s very much a maturity issue here within management.”
Brian Pillman Jr responded to a tweet citing EC3’s comments about Regal having issues with some in the AEW locker room not taking his advice.
This is not entirely true. There are several of us, myself included, who spent multiple hours before TV working with Regal and learning from him. Should there have been more? Maybe, but he and Danielson always had a solid audience around the ring before TV.

I know you said “some”, I just didn’t want the narrative to be that he was just standing there preaching to the air. Some days there would be 10 guys out there soaking it in, some days it would just be me and wheeler and Lee. I didn’t mind when his attention wasn’t spread as thin

Yeah I wasn’t trying to argue just wanted to add some context.

Regal and Danielson have often spoke about their training sessions before shows and how they have been open to helping talent.
Regal has not commented on his AEW departure.
Fightful will provide more details on Regal’s AEW departure when they are known.
