Excerpt: Darren Kenneth Matthews (born May 10, 1968), is an English professional wrestler and color commentator currently signed to WWE and competing on the SmackDown brand under the ring name William Regal. He is also known for his time in World Championship Wrestling under the ring name Steven Regal. Having started his career wrestling on the carnival circuit in England, Matthews moved on to wrestle around the world in countries such as Germany and South Africa, before being called up to World Championship Wrestling in 1993.

He became the villain Lord Steven Regal in 1993, claiming descent from William the Conqueror.
