#7 William Regal

Regal is one of the most well-respected men in WWE

William Regal is one of the most accomplished and well-respected individuals to have signed with WWE. The former Superstar won the WWE Intercontinental Championship, WWE Hardcore Championship, and WWE European Championship during his illustrious career.

Regarded as the perfect heel on television, Regal gave fans some of the best matches where he truly made his opponents look like underdogs even though he wasn’t a large man himself. Today, he leads WWE NXT as the General Manager and has continuously given us some of the best bookings on the brand.

The former WWE Hardcore Champion has received several death threats!

I'm used to abuse and death threats but that has to be stopped.

However, he is one man who has always been the victim of keyboard-warriors and is known to have received several death threats over social media. In fact, Regal once replied to a Twitter fan that he receives at least one death threat a day from keyboard warriors.

@DaRedking Thank you.I get at least 1 death threat a day and it's usually from a faceless so excuse me.

Things took a bitter turn when he received a phone call from an anonymous person in 2015 who threatened him and his entire family.

The WWE veteran vented his frustration on social media and likely took some extra precautions to safeguard his family. We hope that things have gotten better for King Regal in recent years.
