Dory Funk, Jr.
Regal's first appearance in the World Wrestling Federation was on the 29 June 1998 episode of "Raw Is War" in which he defeated Droz via submission with the "Regal Stretch". After featuring in one more match against Tiger Ali Singh in Pennsylvania, Regal was sent to a training camp run by Dory Funk, Jr. in order to get into shape. On his last day, he twisted his ankle in a match against Rhyno and upon returning home aggravated the injury falling in his bathroom, breaking his ankle and leg.
