The Sun in the UK has an interview up with WWE Intercontinental Champion William Regal where he discusses a number of topics including Santino Marella, the new push for the Intercontinental title on WWE TV and more. Here are some highlights:
On Santino Marella's character:
"I think what he does, the entertainment aspect of it, is brilliant. I try and help him a lot because obviously his wrestling is not where it should be — but he can get there. He’s been thrown in the deep end straight out of wrestling school and he does a great job at what he does. I think he’s got a great future but you can only get by doing so much comedy."
If he prefers doing comedy wrestling or straight wrestling:
"I prefer to do serious wrestling matches, which most people might find boring or whatever, but I’ve made myself very adaptable. If there’s a down period I can entertain people, I can make them laugh. The vicious stuff I’m doing now is the way I like to wrestle, unfortunately there are not too many people — and this may sound very arrogant — who can keep up with me. Very few. I’m looking to people like CM Punk and people like that to step up. The only ones who can keep up with me are of that style."
On the renewed push for the Intercontinental title on WWE TV:
"Well I was in discussions to do this and they brought out a DVD this month, The History Of The Intercontinental Championship, with Don Muraco and the rest of them. I would like it to get back to that level. I’d love to be world champion but I think I can make just as much of an impact for myself here. People forget I’ve been intercontinental champion before but it wasn’t where it should have been then, I didn’t have the dynamic I’ve got now. As long as I don’t get hurt or suspended again I’ll be fine. If not, then I’ll move onto something else. I’ll be back down Butlins again."
Why he started growing out his hair:
"It’s all about High Definition TV. I was there when they did the first things for HD and when you’ve got short hair with gel in it looks bald. I was going a bit grey and most people don’t realise I’ve got blond hair. That’s why I started growing my hair. You’ve got to update yourself when you look like me, like a badly made bed."
