yes it would...... regeneration..... along with all bodily functions ie. breathing, heart rate, temperature control, motor functions, healing etc..... are all controlled by the brain subconsciously..... if you remove the brain then the "healing factor" will never be activated
All it will take is Juggernaut to hold him underwater before he gets angry enough, and slam him so hard in the gut he inhales, breathes in water, chokes, gets weaker, drownds.

yeah... he did assume that...... i saw him...said it right there.... with his assuming and assumptions .... and assumptionising... about the Hulk..... and the assumptioneering
see????....that's what he assumed.....i told ya so....see?....SEE???
When Bruce is in his Hulk form, he is virtually indestructible and if he does get hurt then he'll just heal up and come back angrier than before and not to mention stronger. Then anything that gets in his way will get pulverized. The Hulk is an unstoppable engine of destruction. HULK RULES!!!
regardless..... (if it's true .... i don't know.... i just made all that up as it sounded logical.... i'm not a doctor or anything) ...... either way..... with the Brain gone how would the body survive? would he just be a near immortal vegetable?
Regeneration doesn't require a brain. Plenty of organisms that don't have brains undergo cellular division. That's all regeneration is; super-speed mitosis.
Once the brain is disconnected from the body, it's dead. Hulk has shown the ability to regrow any tissue lost, and restore neuronal activity.
Now that I think of it, Apocalypse could kill Hulk without shrinking and growing. Not many know this, but Apocalypse can buffer mutant powers. Bruce Banner is a mutant, so Apocalypse could just remove the regenerating factor completely, then go for the kill.
That didn't kill him. He absorbed gamma radiation and reformed his body from scattered molecules. Death doesn't really mean anything for Hulk. He always comes back.
