On the subject of long-running jokes.

Michael Cole has been randomly mis-naming weapons since the Attitude era. Previous crackers include confusing the steel steps for a steel chair, and he's even called kendo sticks chairs before too. In Saudi, Cole decided to bring tables and ladders into the equation.

He said, "Here's Lashley with the ladder" as Bobby pulled a table out from underneath the ring. Corey Graves leapt on the opportunity to correct his pal by saying, "That's a table". As aforementioned though, this is a trend with Cole and has been for 20+ years.

13. What Goldberg Yelled

WWE

It became readily apparent that Bill Goldberg was leaving with the 'W' mid-match. He soaked up a ton of abuse from Lashley, but still kept on keeping on. Then, after bashing Bob's head into the announce desk, Goldberg warned that they'd fight "to the death".

No self-respecting babyface would bark that if they weren't winning (or valiantly passing out like Steve Austin at WrestleMania 13). Bill's win was as good as secure as soon as he said that.
