"There's never been an English world heavyweight champion. Some guys have come close in the past. The British Bulldog is one who I think should have won it, William Regal is another I believe should have won it at some point but didn't. I myself have come pretty close in the past, especially in 2010 I came very close in a few matches on pay-per-view. Eventually it's got to happen - if you look at the calibre of wrestlers in the past that have come from our island it is incredible that it has not happened. Whether it's me, or Adrian Neville, another Englishman who has recently debuted in the ring on TV, it will happen – but I would love to be the first."
