Man let's get into the British wrestling scene, and your origin sir view.
We know how we got to start these off.
We're gonna take us somewhere else but we got to start off with you in the origin,
the 70s and British wrestling.
>> Okay, so this is odd for anybody to understand,
who's not of my age of where I'm from.
I didn't see any American wrestling until two years after I was already a wrestler.
Because I grew up on, we had our own wrestling on a channel on for
o’clock on a Saturday afternoon.
Of British wrestling what's now turned World of Sport.
It was actually on a sport show on TV.
And it was an hour, well 50 minutes actually.
At four o'clock every Saturday afternoon, and
I grew up watching different style wrestling different characters.
Mostly characters are all I remember from being probably four years of age.
I used to go and sit with my granddad from being seven.
I was very lucky my father, wasn't the greatest wrestling fan but
he used to take me to live wrestling every two weeks in the nearest city or town.
It used to be a town, it's a city and now, seven miles away.
My dad used to take me to watch the wrestling.
And so I grew up just absolutely and I can't honestly think of
anytime when I didn't say, that's what I wanna do for a living.
Those three things, I want to be either a wrestler, a clown, or a comedian and
that was it.
And I've always thought that I got to a dual street doing this.
Straight Tatoo Black Gold, I'm William Regal, my rhyme so
intense, they shouldn't be legal, my style is refined,
not crude in grass, I'll keep you grounded like volcanic ash.
I'll take you down, rank by rank,
I'm just like British parliament, I'm completely hunk.
Straight up gangster tripping.
Yes boy.
>> [LAUGH] That is the most ridiculous horrifying
thing that I ever heard in my life and
I never ever have on my show.
And the correct way to say it is damn boy.
>> [NOISE] >> Let's go.
[SOUND] >> Essentially yeah.
>> Right.
>> And abslotely thrived on doing the other stuff because,
I was somehow gonna get into that world, and wrestling the number one, but
I didn't know if I had the ability, or didn't know how to do and but I knew I was
gonna try and get into some kind of that world, knew that real life wasn't for me.
[LAUGH] >> [LAUGH]
>> My dad,
my family, bricklayers, stonemasons,
my earliest memories just thinking my dad is the nicest person I know.
But all he does is look around a brick so
we can there's no way my brain can handle that I just couldn't do it.
And so this wrestling or what this comedy or this, whatever,
I'm gonna figure out a way and get into it and then.
>> So I grew up watching all kinds of wrestling if you go back and
watch British wrestling, I was mostly attracted to characters,
especially comedic villains when I was younger, which is why I became somewhat
problematic, a lot of influence that was on my sort of American career.
And then when I was ten, I saw a match between Mark volleyball Rocco and
Marty Jones who ended up being my retrain me when I was 17.
I met Marty Jones and he, I was already wrestling but he said like go and
train with me and he sort of really taught me and they just it just my mind.
Just it blew my mind this match, you can watch his matches from 1978 and
they were doing the kind of style that you do now.
This put in, in today's world as if they were doing,
they were like mid heavyweights.
So.
>> Yeah. >> There's a wide style they invented
the game.
