WWE talent scout William Regal was backstage this weekend at PWG's annual Battle of Los Angeles tournament in Reseda ... and we're told he was dropping knowledge.

Sources tell us Regal watched a majority of the matches from behind the curtain and broke them down afterward with any wrestler who asked. He was also extremely approachable.

The NXT General Manager attended BOLA back in '13, and Kevin Owens has said in interviews that it's how he first got on WWE's radar. That night he wrestled Johnny Gargano, who has been consistently wrestling in NXT now for a year.

Regal tweeted about the trip ... saying, "Every company & country have always had different styles and philosophies. As long as there's effort I love watching it. Thanks to ALL in LA."
