A VERY REGAL READ

WILLIAM REGAL DOES A GREAT JOB IN THIS MUST READ BOOK FOR ALL WRESTLING FANS. ORIGINALLY FROM ENGLAND, HIS REAL NAME IS DARREN MATHEWS. WILLIAM TELLS US OF HIS EARLY LIFE IN THE UK AS A WRESTLER AND FROM THERE HE TELL US IN DETAIL HOW HIS LIFE SPIRALED DOWN AND DOWN. HE BECAME ADDICTED TO PAIN KILLERS, BOOZE AND SOME REAL HARD CORE DRUGS. AS A RECOVERING ALCOHOLIC I CAN RELATE TO HIS FEELINGS AND THOUGHTS. HIS VERY FRIGHTENING AND DANGEROUS JOURNEY IS WELL DOCUMENTED AND QUITE HONEST. IN AND OUT OF REHAB BECAUSE OF DENIAL AND A VERY DANGEROUS AND DESTRUCTIVE MIND WILLIAM IS SO BLESSED TO BE ALIVE TO TELL HIS STORY. I FOUND HIS STORY TO BE BOTH QUITE GRIPPING AND TOTALLY WORTH READING. HIS STORY WOULD BE A GREAT READ FOR ALL WHO HAVE ADDICITION PROBLEMS AND ALL WHO ENJOY HIM PERFORM IN THE WRESTLING WORLD. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Regal is the man...

I first became a fan of William Regal when he worked Bill Goldberg and showed him how a real wrestler works during a WCW Saturday Nights Main Event... It was during Bill Goldberg's "undefeated" streak... Regal worked Goldberg so hard that I immediately became a fan... The book provides outstanding, if not painful, insight into the life and career of William Regal. Anytime Regal walks to the ring, get ready for an outstanding match...

A great read

William Regal is not my faviorte wrestler by far. I never liked him in about 10 years of watching wrestling. So why do I like this book? By a chance, I met him at a book signing. He is a nice guy, and he chats with the fans and doesnt rush you. I was nervous to met the guy, but happy after I talked to him for a few minutes. The book is a good read and very well written. Some people dont agree, but I think its very well written and informatvie. Good read all in all, but a great man.

Very good biography!

I really enjoyed reading this book. It's about the life of Darrin Matthews, who plays William Regal on the WWE. It talks about how he got involved in wrestling. He went through some ups and downs in his life. He use to be a drug addict and it nearly ruined his life and those around him. He tells on why you should never do drugs in the first place. I also like him as a wrestler on the WWE. I liked it when he would team up with Eugene to win the tag teams titles. He also did that with another wrestler named Tajiri. Anyone who reads this book will have a better appreciation for this guy.

Wow, what a life!

Let me start by saying that this book "Walking a Golden Mile" by William Regal is a remarkable book. William Regal has overcome so much, alot due to his own mistakes and personal tragedies and problems, but you cannot held but admire this man when you read this book and see how he turned his life around and became the man that he is today, sure he might not be at the spot on the card he most deserves to be at, which is certainly at the top! But he still delivers in that ring and on the microphone. William Regal never stops entertaining me, me being a fan of British humour, growing up with a great deal of it in my family, due to my mother being from Scotland, I appreciated reading a book like this. I loved how he held nothing back and was honest as they come, whether it be about drugs, life, or whatever, he was blunt as hell. William Regal, I was already a fan of yours, but after reading this book, you have made me a much bigger fan, for life! Much respect to you sir! -JPM
