William Regal has established himself as one of the most beloved pro wrestlers in the industry. Regal also met Scott Hall while touring Germany for World Championship Wrestling in 1989.
While speaking on the Stories with Brisco and Bradshaw podcast, William Regal revealed that Scott Hall faked an injury in order to get Lord Regal signed to WCW back in the day.
“He pretended to hurt his elbow and told the agent, ‘keep this lad on the tour, for the next four days.’ So he just pretended to injure his arm and he stayed on the tour. At the end of it, they said, ‘we like you, we’ll get hold of you when the time’s right.”
