When pro-wrestlers are on the road, they tend to bond with their colleagues considering that’s the only time they get. So, when Stone Cold Steve Austin was working with WCW, the person he started hanging out with was William Regal.
During a fan Q&A session, The Texas Rattlesnake revealed the moment he saw Regal’s work and immediately became his fan!
“For the most part it was William Regal. He came down to WCW. Whenever he came in and I watched that guy work a match I was like, when I first saw him, I was like ‘oh man, who’s this guy from England?’ And all of a sudden he goes out there and works and I believe it was a match in Center stage in Atlanta. Man, he just lit it up. All this bada** chain wrestling, you know his work. He was selling his a** off and I was like holy smokes! This guy is good. I wouldn’t introduce myself to him.”

Even though The Texas Rattlesnake and Regal knew quite a lot of people in the business, they had their own routine of having fun.
“We had a lot of time to kill and I killed it by drinking a lot of damn whiskey and a lot of beer. There used to be an English pub called Rovers Return right outside of Orland. Me and William would stay out, the neck of the woods and we would go to Rovers’ Return, drink Guinness stout and throw darts every single night.”
