8. His Infamous Match With Goldberg
In 1998, towards the end of his WCW days as Lord Steven Regal, William faced Goldberg (who was in the midst of his famous undefeated streak). The match was a stiff, aggressive affair, and although Goldberg ultimately won, he later publicly slammed Regal for making him look bad. The Brit responded in his autobiography, explaining that both men had been explicitly instructed to have a 'competitive six-minute match', and that his apparent domination of the bout was due to Goldberg freezing up in the ring. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4IdelJfk2k Whichever side of the story you believe, it remains a curious stain on the careers of both men. Given Regal's current status as part of NXT, WWE would probably be keen for fans to forget a story in which he was accused of holding down a younger rising star.
