AEW fans were already worried after Jon Moxley hit a dangerous avalanche sleeper suplex on Kyle Fletcher during their Continental Classic semi-final at Worlds End. Fletcher landed directly on his neck, prompting widespread concern. But now, William Regal has entered the conversationand hes not holding back.
The 57-year-old wrestling veteran took to Twitter and slammed the spot as reckless and unnecessary, using his own life and injuries as a cautionary tale.
Regal didnt name Moxley or Fletcher directly, but his words were clearly aimed at modern wrestlers who risk their health for high-risk spots without proper technique or long-term thinking. He also pointed to the late Mitsuharu Misawas tragic death in the ring as a warning sign thats still being ignored.
The former Blackpool Combat Club mentor even cited Bryan Danielson as someone who suffers from chronic neck issuesshowing the real-life consequences of repeated trauma.
The 57-year-old legend pleaded with wrestlers to think long-term, stating that broken necks and death arent something tough or cool; its just idiotic thinking.
While Moxley and Fletcher havent responded publicly, Regals message landed hardand loud. In a world where pushing limits is the norm, maybe its time to rethink what tough really means.
