William Regal just made it clearhes not here for your outrage, following his recent remarks about unnecessary risks in wrestling.
After angering the wrestling world with his December 28, 2025 comments criticizing the dangerous avalanche sleeper suplex Jon Moxley delivered to Kyle Fletcher at AEW Worlds End, the veteran grappler is now responding to the backlash. People accused Regal of being selectivecalling out AEW while ignoring similar risky spots in WWE. But Regal is setting the record straight and addressing the hate head-on.
On January 2, 2026, the 57-year-old wrestling legend took to Twitter to make one thing clear: hes not reading your repliesand he doesnt care if you disagree.
But he didnt stop there. Regal clarified that his original tweet wasnt about targeting any one promotionit was about protecting younger wrestlers who dont understand the risks of neck trauma until its too late. He pointed out that for over a decade, hes tried to use his voice as a mentoreven if many dont listen.
And its not just talk. Regal reminded fans and wrestlers alike that his experience runs deepacross decades and continents.
Clearly frustrated by the backlash, Regal leaned on a trusted voice in his life to show just how many wrestlers hes helped. He named fellow veteran Samoa Joe:
And then came his most pointed messagedirected at those using his name for clout or monetization. Instead of dragging his name through controversy, he asked them to do something that actually matters.
Regal used the moment to name two injured legends of Japanese wrestlingShinjiro Otani and Yoshihiro Takayamawho are still dealing with devastating neck injuries. Instead of social media drama, Regal wants real-world impact.
After decades of sacrificing his body for the businessand living with the consequencesRegals warning stands. Whether people listen is another story.
