William Regal has commented on the critically acclaimed match that took place the other night at New Japan Pro Wrestling’s annual Best of the Super Juniors Tournament.

Regal, who is the on-screen General Manager of NXT & a trainer at the WWE Performance Center, carries a lot of clout in the world of wrestling with his opinions & insight on the business.

Here is what Regal had to say about the match in a series of tweets this past weekend:

“I watched the match and was shocked. You need to start doing real stuff like people from my era like kip ups,flying head scissors,cart wheels and criss crosses. Get a grip! When I started the job in ’83 a lot of the older fellas used to say that Marc Rocco and Marty Jones (who were the real pioneers of the CW style) had killed the business because they did to much.

Although they may not admit it anymore, most of the heavyweights in Europe thought the brilliant lightweight and middleweight wrestlers were bad for the job because their style was “not believable enough”.. Every country I worked in before I came to the US had different styles and ways of doing things.As long as there’s effort then it’s right.

If the people paying you are happy and you get reactions then make your stuff as good as it can be with what skills you have.May not be for everyone but that’s ok.In the match I saw two fellas who looked like fighters having an excellent,hard competed match in a different style.Win win!”
