WWE Hall of Famer “The Enforcer” Arn Anderson recently took to an episode of his ARN podcast, where he talked about a number of topics including working with Sir William Regal.
Anderson said, “I loved it. And when we first went over to England, and Regal was a local guy, they had him have a tryout match while we were there. And Buddy, I was singing his praises. I love that European style with those uppercuts and the chain wrestling and just slugging it out and keeping it on the mat. It was just good. I love it. I love that stuff. And I love Stephen Regal’s whole demeanor. You know, Lordship was just a smart ass, and he just carried himself in that ring. He just generated tons of heat. But still, you looked at him and went as a man. You looked at him and went, That’s that’s a tough son of a bitch. Yeah, you bet he did. I mean, he was an Englishman.”
Anderson also talked about WCW bringing in Michael Buffer to be a ring announcer.
“Yeah, boxing. And that’s what he was known for. Boxing was red hot back then. You had a lot of stars, and that just took something from another dimension, and boxing fans and maybe, you know, they cut on wrestling, and they went, Hey, there’s a crossover. That’s us, that’s our ring. He had that. Booming. Fantastic, Boris. It was. It dressed up our product. It did.”
