"No, never. No. My last official match was against Cesaro," revealed the former NXT Manager.  "My last few years, I didn't realize – it's come out recently, I had a serious neck problem for 20-odd years. It finally caught up with me. All I ever wanted was a 20-year wrestling career when I started – I ended up with a 30-year wrestling career. I couldn't have asked for any more. If you're not me and you're just looking from the outside, 'Oh he should have been this, he should have been that' – no."

William Regal shared that everything after leaving the amusement park Blackpool Pleasure Beach is just a bonus for him. He's happy with everything he has achieved.

"I was very happy with what I achieved. If I'd have never come to America, I had an incredible career. By the time I was 24, I'd been to 19 countries. From 20 to 24, I'd been to all the best places you could go to, wrestling all the best wrestling. If it'd stopped then, I'd have had an incredible career. Everything after that – everything after leaving Blackpool Pleasure Beach was a bonus for me!"
