In September 1996, he was invited to a Japan/US All-Star Tournament in Japan. Other participants in the tournament included Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Sting, Lex Luger and Buff Bagwell.
14
His name change from Steven Regal to William Regal when he moved from WCW to the WWF (now WWE) was rumored to have been because the most popular WWF wrestler at the time was also named Steve (Austin).
15
Was miss-diagnosed in 2003 as suffering from a Stomach Virus picked up on a WWE Tour of India. In actual fact he had a heart defect which meant the right side of his heart was beating out of sequence with the left. This caused his body's systems to malfunction and allow large volumes of fluid to build in his body. Darrin underwent specialist treatment which involved stopping his heart or several moments and then re-starting it to bring both halves back into sequence. He then had to endure months of anti-blood clot treatments before he fully recovered. During his illness and recovery he lost 40lbs in weight and now reports to be in better physical condition then when he was starting his wrestling career. Made his return to the WWE in mid-2004 first as a manager to the 'Special' Eugene and then returning to the active wrestling roster.
