JRV Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 I believe Regal was shown the door that night. Well that night or the next day. Regal's version Well, in July of 1999, after being rehired by WCW, Regal was on an edition of WCW Live (WCW's Internet talk show) and talked about the Goldberg match. According to Regal, he and Goldberg were told that they would be having a six minute match. Goldberg had not worked many matches, and very few that went more than three minutes, so Regal tried to work some holds into the match. Goldberg didn't know what was going on, and resisted a lot of the moves. Regal said he didn't blame Goldberg for what happened, and that he was on friendly terms with Bill. Regal blamed the booker of the match (who he would not name) for putting Goldberg in a situation he wasn't ready for. However, Regal said he did take the heat for things following the match. As for his firing, Regal took full blame for it, and attributed it to his own personal problems (which he has since defeated). I haven't read Regal's book yet but apparently he describes it similarly there too. Considering this match happened shortly after his infamous "unprofessional behavior on a flight" incident - it was probably just the culmination of events. For those who have never seen the whole thing Well yeah, but it's a much more fun story if Regal got fired for Lorenzo-ing Goldberg.

My favorite part is the look on Goldberg's face right after he does the roar into the camera. It went from "RRRRROOOOOOAAAAAAARRRRR!!!!!!!" to "What the fuck did I do to deserve that?"
TerjeRUN Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 Schiavone did sell the match well, though. As per norm - he was brilliant.
Adam Posted September 29, 2013 Posted September 29, 2013 Schiavone did sell the match well, though. As per norm - he was brilliant. That's just for the purpose of getting the image to fit somewhere. I actually liked Skee-a-von-ee. 2
RIPPA Posted September 30, 2013 Author Posted September 30, 2013 Oooh... that gives me an excuse to post this (since we are on the ref theme) I miss Mark Curtis 3
Pete Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Someone has to post that one ref doing like a 10 foot baseball slide into a pin count.
Ace Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 I love how he starts counting while still in motion.
Brisco Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Talking about guys who can slide across the ring that ref may have beaten Billy Gunn. 1
Roman Posted September 30, 2013 Posted September 30, 2013 Damn Cthulhu took the referee out! (added bonus: Kevin Nash taking the only bump he can still take.) 8
BEN! Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Don't think I've seen Black Ref #1 lately. Must be out tripping on that Shroom Tech+.
Territorial Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Damn Cthulhu took the referee out! (added bonus: Kevin Nash taking the only bump he can still take.) Cthulhu's a mark. Whowouldathunkit? Vince should have thrown money at him to be the Higher Power.
caley Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Oooh... that gives me an excuse to post this (since we are on the ref theme) I miss Mark Curtis My favourite Mark Curtis moment was the one Lucha 6-man they did at 'Bash at the Beach' one year when the three guys bounced off the ropes to do a triple dive and Curtis just fell to this knees in the corner and covered his head like "I'm gonna get in soooo much trouble!"
Pete Posted October 4, 2013 Posted October 4, 2013 Cesaro really needs to bust out the UFO at some point, unless Vince has a quota for over setup moves I'm not aware of.
The Natural Posted October 7, 2013 Posted October 7, 2013 I'll put this WWE Battleground 2013 GIF in spoiler tags for now: New addition to my Antonio Cesaro post: 1
Dolfan in NYC Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Why does a fat guy, who's entire gimmick is being a dirty hillbilly psychopath cult leader shave his armpits?
Sammy Posted October 9, 2013 Posted October 9, 2013 Why does a fat guy, who's entire gimmick is being a dirty hillbilly psychopath cult leader shave his armpits? In his defense, old timey Southern men would shave their pits to stay cooler and less stinky. My grandfather in East Texas, who refused to have air conditioning, used to do this.
