William Regal

William Regal is seen, sitting behind a desk which has a nameplate, reading " William Regal ". He is wearing a nice suit, with an amazing tie. He looks like a true gentleman, did you expect anything less?

William Regal: Now, gentlemen.. I trust you both know what you're doing, but I wanted to see you for one reason.

We can't see right now who it is that Regal is talking to, although it's clear that he's talking to two men from the shadows we can see being cast on the wall.

William Regal: I know that you both feel you've been held back, by men such as myself.. Let me inform you both of something. I'm very much like you both, I'm a very accomplished athlete, of which I'm sure you both know. Through my entire career, I've been held back by men who chose the easy path. Age has nothing to do with this, on the contrary to what you both may think.

A very serious tone is being taken right now, as always, by William Regal.
B
William Regal: It simply boils down to how you behave with certain, well.. Certain members of management, I should put it. These bloody fools, have been doing the same thing for years, and they get away with it.

Who is he talking about?

William Regal: Yes, we're all very much alike, gentlemen. We should join forces, prove to these cretin's that the only thing that matters in the end.. Talent. Talent is the only thing that gets you to the top, although it may not be evident right now, we can ensure that this is the case for the forseeable future.

We can hear talking between the two men opposite Regal, we still don't know who these men are.

William Regal: I can show you the way, I can make you accomplish whatever it is that you want. Believe me, gentlemen.. I'm always a man of my word. I'm a true English gentleman, something which you should always keep in mind. This is the only way forward, there's power in numbers, remember this. Power in numbers.

The talking across the table from Regal has just finished, the camera spins around, and we're met with the shot of Bryan Danielson, and Tyler Black.

Bryan Danielson: Well, we've thought about it.

Tyler Black: We've come to a decision.

Regal smiles, nodding slightly.

William Regal: Well, I'm pleased to hear this. What do you say?

Bryan Danielson: Most of what you said, it made sense. Some of it, well.. not so much. However, we see no reason why we can't work together. I'll admit, you do have some talent, Regal. Maybe not quite as much as myself, and Tyler, but.. there is talent here.

Tyler Black: Don't be mistaken, we aren't your friends. However, we aren't enemies. We recognize that you aren't built from the same stuff as everyone else, and that's good enough for us.

The smile on his face gets as wide as it possibly can, we can tell that this is what William Regal wanted all along.

William Regal: Excellent, excellent. Bryan, I picked up on your little comment, all I'll tell you is.. watch what happens to that little toerag, The Miz, at Thunder. Make sure you're both watching, for I'm going to make an example out of him. He wants to make jokes, act a fool every single day of his life. He doesn't take this business serious, and I'm going to punish him.

Tyler Black: Oh, we'll be watching. I'd be competing at Thunder, but it seems nobody wants to step up to the plate.

William Regal: I had noticed. It seems you gentlemen have both scared off quite a few people, especially some of the supposed tag teams in the Global Wrestling Federation.

Bryan Danielson: We know. It doesn't matter, though. We can't be denied much longer, they have to put us in that title match at the pay per view. They can't seriously place anyone else in that match, we're the greatest tag team the Global Wrestling Federation has ever seen.

William Regal: I don't doubt it for a moment.

Just then, Tajiri walks in with cups of tea on a tray.

William Regal: Tea anyone?

Both men shake their heads. Tajiri goes to place the tea down on the table, but he stumbles. He drops the tea all over Bryan Danielson, and Tyler Black.

Tyler Black: Jesus Christ.

Bryan Danielson: Damnit!

Both men are in pain as the hot tea is burning them, Tajiri doesn't know what to do. Regal looks mad.

William Regal: Tajiri, you fool.. Can't you do anything right?

Tajiri: MOOOWAHHH CHIANNGGGG KAAAAA!

William Regal: It wasn't their fault, you dropped it all over them.

Tajiri: PIAAAANGG TEUUUU GANNNN FEWWWWW THESSSSSS!!

William Regal: Get the bloody hell out of here, Tajiri. I'm not discussing this now, I'll deal with you later.

Tajiri quickly makes his exit, as both Danielson, and Black, watch him. They don't look pleased now the pain has gone.

Bryan Danielson: Who the hell is that, idiot?

Danielson asks this with anger in his voice.

William Regal: Tajiri, he's Japanese.

Tyler Black: He's a fool. Why do you even keep him around?

Regal scratches his chin for a moment, with a quizzical look across his face.

William Regal: You know, I sometimes ask myself that question.

Our scene fades away, with a shot of William Regal sitting in his chair, with that look still across his face.

We're met once again with the sight of William Regal, removed from his desk this time. He's standing directly in front of the camera, wearing a new suit this time. He has his hands clasped, directly in front of him.

William Regal: The anticipation is building, it's now only a couple of short days away. The moment where I, William Regal, will make my return to the Global Wrestling Federation at Thunder.

He sounds calm.

William Regal: I waited a few days, just to see who would put their name out there. I wanted to see who was willing to compete at Thunder, who wanted to prove a point.

He pauses.

William Regal: Believe me, there wasn't much to choose from, either.

He continues.

William Regal: Eventually, I heard this young chap who calls himself, The Miz, issuing a challenge. He called out anyone in the Global Wrestling Federation, he said he was willing to do whatever it takes to get to the top. So, I thought to myself.. why not give this little cretin a lesson? There comes a point in every young man's life, where he has to make a decision. He has to decide if he's happy sitting around in the mix, or whether, he wants to take a risk. The Miz might not have thought he was taking a risk, but I can tell you all right now.. he bloody well did. When he issued his challenge, he didn't think it through. Dear boy, you've made the biggest mistake of your short career.

Regal begins to move to his right, taking a walk.

William Regal: I admire your courage, issuing a challenge like that. Although, maybe next time.. think about who may accept it.

Regal smirks slightly, knowing that he is right.

William Regal: I was once in your position, a man who would do anything to be noticed in such a wrestler heavy promotion. There are a lot of superstars here, and like I said, you sometimes have to make the decision on how you want it to play out. This match is one which you don't want, I can sense this already. I almost pity you, Miz. I'm sure you'll brush this off, all thr way until the match. You'll act like the pillock you always are, cracking jokes with that freak, Big Show. That's fine, if that is how you deal with situations like this, then by all means, carry on.

He continues to walk around.

William Regal: My return to the Global Wrestling Federation has stirred up a lot of interest, people know what I am capable of. When I compete in the ring, I have the backing of the whole United Kingdom. I am their hero, I am the man that they all look up to. The way I lead my life, it's an example to everyone. You would do good to follow my example, Miz. Maybe if more people had more manners, maybe if they acted more like gentlemen.. there wouldn't be so much trouble in the world.

He is right. We should all follow his example.

William Regal: The problem lies with most of you bloody American's, not all of you, just most. You seem to think that you can do whatever you bloody well like, when that infact, is not the case. This is one of the main reasons why I have received barely any shots, to become a world champion. You people want to see American's do well, in American companies. It's a flaw which I am here to reverse, it needs to be done. Miz, you listen up sonshine. I will not allow for you to defeat me, this is just not an option. All I can say to you, is make it easier for yourself. If you dare show up, I'll make you look like a fool. Like a novice. Never before in my life, have I felt so good, so confident.

Never short of confidence.

William Regal: I am in no doubt about my ability, I cannot be defeated, especially by you, Miz. When you stand across that ring from me, on thursday night, it will all settle into your mind. You will realize the level you need to raise your game to, and you'll realize, it's impossible for you. I've been in some of the greatest matches ever to grace this business, I've wrestled some of the toughest men, too. You see, I'm not here to excite fans. I'm not a man who needs to fly off the top rope, take punishment just from trying to impress those bloody idiots in the crowd. I learned my trade from some of the best technical wrestlers in the world, I worked for years to get to this point in my life. What have you ever done, Miz? It astounds me, it truly does.

Regal lets the question hang in the air.

William Regal: As far as I know, Miz.. you've never done anything to call home about. You're a man who longs to be noticed, you want the exposure. Unfortunately, you've come to the wrong place. When I'm finished with you, the world is my oyster. I can go on to compete in the greatest of matches, beat the best this promotion has to offer myself. What will come of you? Well, you should leave. This isn't the place for you, Miz. We both know it, so don't try to kid yourself. The whole world is going to be watching as I beat you to a bloody pulp, you'll be begging me for mercy. You know what? I won't give you mercy. You don't deserve it, you little toerag. I shouldn't even be entertaining the thought of stepping into the ring with you, but everyone has to learn somewhere. I can't wait, I honestly cannot wait. This is the start of something great, something which has never been seen before. There is something that you should know, Miz.. I'm William Regal, and hell..

He smirks.

William Regal: I really am quite bloody awesome!

Regal laughs, and walks out of the shot as our scene comes to an end.
