Wrestler’s Court is an unofficial court in the WWE, set up so that other Superstars can police each other if they make a mistake. The “Judge” is almost always the Undertaker and it was created so that Superstars can self-police. Triple H and Regal have been friends since the Game’s early career. When Triple H got offered a contract with WWE, Regal told him to make the move.
“He talked to me about it. There was an offer for me to go at the time but I had a guaranteed contract with WCW and they were very good to me, and they were also getting me visas and green cards for my family,” Regal said on the first-ever episode of the Gentleman Villian podcast. “I said no [to WWE], but what [Triple H] needs to do is go to WWE. Because what he needed is what I had had for the last 10 years, he needed to work 200+ days a year.
“He had all the skills there, but you get better at wrestling [when you find] what you’re good at, what you’re bad at. You make mistakes and rectify those problems and you try and work on them, and the experience makes you a better talent. He went [to WWE]. We always kept in touch and so forth.”
Regal got to know Triple H and worked with him for 8 years, in NXT, where the two created magic and helped find and develop some of the biggest stars in wrestling today. As far as why he left, Regal said that he expected it to happen when Triple H announced NXT 2.0 where they would be going in a new direction.
Regal currently works for All Elite Wrestling. The Blackpool Combat Club faction features Bryan Danielson, Jon Moxley, and Wheeler Yuta.
