A good showcase for Regal in a three minute match as he stretched Holly some and showed off his variety of offense. Regal certainly looks refreshed and revitalized compared to his 1999-early 2000 output. Naked Mideon runs out at the finish and that was a pretty poor main angle to involve Regal in right out of the gate. 1/2*

 

I’m not sure if this is Regal’s re-debut so to speak, but I think it might be.  I completely forgot that he was doing this ‘Goodwill Ambassador’ shtick on his return.  A Japanese stranglehold out of his Lordship.  Smart little Lucha-style cradle from Crash for a two, however Regal is immediately back on him, dropping him with an uppercut.  Tazz is so bloody annoying!  A seated ‘Cobra clutch’ which Regal gives up on and Crash is able to get a flurry of flash near falls.  Missile dropkick off the top but he then runs into a big boot.  Regal with a ‘Kamikaze Crash’ (something else taken from his WOS days like the Japanese stranglehold) and the ‘Regal Stretch’ gets the tap shortly after.  Talking of things I had forgotten, Naked Mideon makes an appearance after the match and Regal looks disgusted on seeing a starkers, bar fanny pack, Dennis Knight.  He’s not the only one!
