Regal campaigned for something similar back when WWE last toured England. My opinion then was he shouldn't win the World title and my opinion hasn't changed. Regal is someone that never really made it to the mainevent scene throughout his entire WWE career, the closest he came was when he won KOTR but then he was busted with a Wellness Policy Violation. He just isn't over enough to be a credible World heavyweight champion. With Henry he has regularly been in the mainevent scene since around 2006 and so fans could see him as a top star and it was believable when he won the title. Regal winning would make no sense and would devalue the title.
