I could see the King of the Ring take on the King of Kings in a nice little feud this summer. I would prefer that to whatever they are going to do now that Trips has the strap.

We all see what the KOTR did for mid-carder Booker. Why not Regal?

How could Vince hate Regal's in-ring work??? What the does he want, a roided up jackass who couldn't wrestle his way out of a paper bag? Because we already have Batista for that. Well said my man.

I still think a fresh younger guy should have got the win and subsequent push. They have plenty but are doing nothing with them.

Maybe we will see HHH/Regal for the title. I would love to see that. And even though I'd prefer a real feud with it, even just a one off match or two would be sweet.

'Tis better to do something with someone that's qualified and deserving rather than someone inexperienced or not worthy. I'm a firm supporter of guys having to pay their dues before earning a title shot. Even then, they shouldn't be guaranteed or handed a title; that's why guys like Regal and others such as Chris Benoit (thinking before last June, of course) and Eddie Guerrero are respected because of their commitment to their profession and all of the years of service they put in to making the wrestling business better. How many examples are there of guys who receive titles way too soon and don't deserve what's been given to them (i.e. Orton's first title reign, Lesnar/Lashley walking away after being given everything too early, etc)? Yes, WWE isn't exactly planting the seeds of success and growth for many of the young wrestlers in the company, but there are some wrestlers who are ready right now and can be placed in the main event with experience and confidence in themselves to make it work, like Regal could. I'm all for building young guys into stars, but the way WWE goes about doing this doesn't always produce the best results. They rely too much on making a guy champion when he's still got years of experience yet to be explored and there's nothing left for him to do but hit the main event scene when he's still not ready. And after that, what's he going to do? Waste away in the mid-card until fans forget about him and will never buy him as a main event threat again? Their whole system is just designed to fail, with the few exceptions like MVP who can fight in upper mid-card feuds, lose and still could be in the main event believably.

It was pretty obvious they were pushing him to a mega heel, unfortunately he doesn't do a swanton which is why he got zero reaction from the crowd even though they did everything correctly.

the fact that Tripple H and Regal are friends proves how badly HHH needs to feel like the top guy.Remember how badly Tripple H destroyed Regal on RAW over the whole Eugene thing, HHH even makes his close friends look not on par in the ring.

You could say the same thing for Randy Orton, except Regal actually is good in the ring, you just may not appreciate his style, which is perfectly fine.

It makes me happy to see Regal getting some love, and if we get to see him headline a PPV for the WWE title I might piss myself, but I doubt he will ever hold it, and thats a shame.
They gave Benoit the title and he had the mic skills of a 2x4, but Regal is gold on the mic. Maybe he will get a two month reign over the summer, it would be nice.

Regal in the main event scene is far more believable than JBL in the main event scene. Both are damn good heels on the mic... but Regal is the only one of the two that can actually wrestle and keep up with the best of the best today.

Triple H is allowed to make friends with whomever he wants...but lately, his track record for suggesting pushes hasn't gone so well...

isn't a big fan of his in-ring work.
Vince. Either that or i'm not buying this statement's validity. Regal is amazing in the ring, how can he not be a fan

Here is what I see happening with all this:
Regal vs. HHH at JD for the belt. HHH wins but Punk cashes in the MITB and wins the belt and then goes into a feud with Regal for the summer.
