After more than 30 years in the business, William Regal has experienced some absurd things while on the road, whether in WWE or WCW. He has now shared an exciting story about Scott Hall.
Regal met Hall while touring Germany for World Championship Wrestling in 1989. Both legends later went on to have successful careers across different companies.
Speaking on the Stories with Brisco and Bradshaw podcast, the English star said that Scott Hall faked an injury to give Regal a chance of being signed by the company.
"He pretended to hurt his elbow and told the agent, ‘keep this lad on the tour, for the next four days.’ So he pretended to hurt his arm and he stayed on the tour. At the end of it they said, ‘we like you, we’ll get hold of you when the time’s right,’" said Regal. (From 2:03:55 to 2:04:30)
