Regal Declares PAC the Top English Wrestler Since the 1980s

WWE executive William Regal has publicly named AEW’s PAC as the best English wrestler to rise to prominence since the 1980s. The comment came after Regal met the Mexican‑born talent on a flight back to the United Kingdom, and he compared PAC to three of Britain’s historic wrestling icons.

Regal’s Credibility Test

Regal explained that he uses a personal benchmark to judge a wrestler’s credibility. He said that a performer must combine in‑ring skill, charisma, and a genuine connection with the audience. When he saw PAC’s work, he felt the young star met every part of that standard.

Comparing to British Greats

In his assessment, Regal placed PAC alongside three legendary British wrestlers who dominated the sport in the 1980s and 1990s. While he did not name them in the interview, the comparison signals that PAC’s talent is on par with the best of that era.

From Mexico to the UK

The encounter that sparked Regal’s praise happened on a commercial flight from Mexico City to London. Regal noted that he had been watching PAC’s matches on the AEW platform and was impressed by the wrestler’s athleticism and storytelling ability.

Implications for the British Wrestling Scene

Regal’s endorsement could boost PAC’s profile in the United Kingdom, where the wrestling community is eager for fresh talent. It also highlights the growing influence of American promotions like AEW on the global stage.
