Former WWE superstar opens up about his stint back in the day
A.J Francis who wrestled in WWE under the name Top Dolla recently shared a beautiful story from his days in the company’s Performance Center.
Top Dolla signed with WWE in January 2020. The former American football player was part of a popular stable on NXT known as Hit Row. The stable contained other promising Superstars like Isaiah “Swerve” Scott, Ashante “Thee” Adonis, and B-Fab.
The faction was drafted on SmackDown as part of the 2021 draft. They had sporadic appearances on the blue brand but writers couldn’t pen down appropriate storylines for them.
All the members were released from WWE in November last year.
William Regal’s masterclass on pinning techniques
Francis would recently put out a tweet where he revealed how veteran William Regal spent an entire hour teaching how to make a proper pin.
William Regal recently signed up with AEW. He made his debut for the company in their latest pay-per-view named AEW Revolution. Regal would make his appearance after a grueling match between Jon Moxley and Bryan Danielson. The two wrestlers kept brawling even after the match had ended.
Regal stormed into the ring and slapped the two former WWE Superstars. The slap caused a stir so strong that the two bitter rivals ended up shaking hands.
Regal is highly respected in the professional wrestling circuit. He spent 22 years in WWE playing different roles and succeeding in all of them. The former General Manager of NXT was referred to as the WWE Director of Talent Development and Head of Global Recruiting by WWE.com at one point.
Regal mentored many superstars in WWE and was always there for the newcomers. Top Dolla put out the tweet with Regal’s GIF and stated how the legendary William Regal spent an entire hour teaching how to make a proper pin at the WWE Performance Center one day.
Francis hailed him as a genius and we couldn’t agree more. He wrote:
“Willian Regal once taught a class at the PC for an hour on literally NOTHING but how to make a proper pin. Genius.”
