#4. William Regal started wrestling at the age of 15 before joining WWE
Before William Regal's tenure in WWE, he started his wrestling career in his billed hometown of Blackpool, England. Regal was trained by UK trainer Marty Jones and competed in a wrestling carnival booth at Blackpool Pleasure Beach at the age of 15. Following his start, he began teaming up with current NXT trainer Robbie Brookside around the UK and Europe.
William Regal recently returned to Blackpool with the NXT UK brand in January 2017 for the WWE United Kingdom Championship tournament.
William Regal spoke about his move to Blackpool to wrestle as a teenager with How2Wrestling:
"Moving to Blackpool was fantastic as there were shows galore. I would see the best entertainers up close over and over because of the long summer season. I was also told at the same time that every night you should come through the curtains never assuming anyone knows you and you will always have to feel and look that you belong. You will show why people should care or hate you because you always do that when trying to make a first impression." (h/t How2Wrestling)
