During a recent interview with Alistair McGeorge of Metro UK, AEW star William Regal commented on the advice he gave to WWE Superstar Pete Dunne. Of course, Dunne is now known as “Butch” following his main roster call-up.
You can check out some highlights from the interview below:
On his advice to Butch regarding his name change: “If I can get to somebody sometimes – I won’t say who, but there’s a certain person who’s doing really well for himself at the moment but a few months ago he got a name change. You might guess who it is. He called me and I said, ‘It’s not about the name, it’s about you just getting a platform to show ’em what you can do.’ As far as my little foray looking at Twitter twice a week, which is all I do, he seems to be the person they’re doing a lot of promotion about. I’ll let you figure that out – and he’s British.”
On knowing how good this person is: “I know how good he is, and he’s gone out there and give it all he’s good and all of a sudden there’s a lot of stuff about him. He’s actually in there doing the style he normally does.”
On making the most out of whatever you’re given as a performer: “Just make it work. Whatever you’re given, just give it a go,’ he urged. ‘Cause 99% of the time, if you just give it a good go, it’ll work. If you go in there with the wrong attitude, it’ll probably end up like that.”
Butch is currently working in a faction alongside Sheamus and Ridge Holland.
