#2 William Regal
Daniel Bryan has said on many occasions that one of his closest friends in life, inside or outside of wrestling, is William Regal.

Asked in November 2016 who he would like to induct him into the WWE Hall of Fame one day, Bryan instantly replied: "William Regal. He’s been my mentor since I was 19 years old, he has helped me more than just about anybody."
The retired Englishman mentored many Superstars while he was still competing, including Kassius Ohno and CM Punk, and it’s no wonder he now plays such a pivotal role in the progression of WWE’s next crop of talent in NXT.
Bryan and Regal appeared in various sketches together on The JBL & Cole Show – a series that used to be featured on WWE’s YouTube channel – and their 2010 encounter on NXT was included among D-Bry’s best matches on a 2015 DVD about his career.
