"Hello
to all the fans of All Japan Pro Wrestling, I'm Lord
Steven Regal, sometimes known as William Regal who
works for the WWE
@WWE
and NXT. I had a wonderful time in the 90s wrestling
in Japan and I wrestled some of the greatest wrestlers
of all time, including Mr Fujinami and Mr Antonio
Inoki. Well now there's a new generation of European
wrestlers who will continue the great European style
that was a huge part of Japanese Wrestling. My trainer
Marty Jones was trained by the legendary Billy Robinson.
My mentors, Johnny Saint, also trained by Billy Robinson.
My other mentor, Pete Roberts, a regular for All Japan
Pro Wrestling. And now I'm sending to you what I consider
the best up and coming wrestler of the old, traditional
European and Lanchester style to All Japan Pro Wrestling,
and that is Charlie Dempsey. And this is the first
time that I'm telling people in public that Charlie
Dempsey is my son. Charlie has been travelling the
world for the last seven years honing his craft to
continue the great legacy of Lanchester style wrestling,
and now that he's going to come to All Japan Pro Wrestling
and show everybody exactly how good he is and how
the great traditions of European wrestling will continue
in Japan. Thank you very much indeed." - Steven
