Former WWE Star and current All Elite Wrestling Star William Regal recently took to his the Gentleman Villain podcast, where he spoke about a number of topics such as how he has always seen the potential in MJF, but he is not sure if he likes the way he goes about doing stuff.
William Regal said:
“I’ve always seen the potential in him. Not sure I like the way he goes about doing stuff. If you want to be a real bad guy, there are things that you can do and things that you can’t. I used this term on AEW the other week and it’s only a few people know this term. O-D-V, which is an ordinary decent villain.”
William Regal also spoke about how professional wrestling legend Roddy Piper would have seen straight through MJF and Piper would have said that MJF does not have the same mentality that they do.
William Regal said:
“Roddy Piper would have seen straight through him. He would have gone ‘this is a lad who’s not grown up the same as us.’ He’s not got the same mentality. You might think you’re a bad guy, you might want to act like a bad guy. But there’s a difference there’s a big difference and very few people know that. A lot of people who got through this job by just acting like a bad guy.”
