In relation to his WWE name change, William Regal recently provided Butch (the former Pete Dunne) some advice.
Even though Regal didn’t mention Butch by name, it was evident that the WWE star has been making an impression on him.
“If I can get to somebody sometimes – I won’t say who, but there’s a certain person who’s doing really well for himself at the moment but a few months ago he got a name change. You might guess who it is. He called me and I said, “It’s not about the name, it’s about you just getting a platform to show ’em what you can do. As far as my little foray looking at Twitter twice a week, which is all I do, he seems to be the person they’re doing a lot of promotion about. I’ll let you figure that out – and he’s British,” he told Alistair McGeorge of Metro.
Regal pointed out how different the character is different, but said despite the difference, Butch is still doing the same style.
“I know how good he is, and he’s gone out there and give it all he’s good and all of a sudden there’s a lot of stuff about him. He’s actually in there doing the style he normally does,” Regal said. “Just make it work. Whatever you’re given, just give it a go,’ he urged. ‘Cause 99% of the time, if you just give it a good go, it’ll work. If you go in there with the wrong attitude, it’ll probably end up like that.”
