Former WWE Star and current All Elite Wrestling Star William Regal recently took to his the Gentleman Villain podcast, where he talked about the person WWE Chairman Vince McMahon wanted to help them when the company's programming was transitioning into HD (High Definition) and the interesting request WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon made at the time.
William Regal said:
“Mr. McMahon pulled me to the side and he said ‘Darren (Regal’s real first name), can I talk to you? I want you to be the one, the first one who changes everything as far as facial wise. This HD TV picks up everything in a completely different world than we’re used to. You’re always the one known for pulling faces and big expressions. I want you to take it the other way which is you do it as little as possible and the little nostril flares and glances.’”
“He might have asked a couple of people but he asked me, early on in that day of the first taping, ‘I want you to do that. Tonight go the exact opposite of what you have ever done before.’”
