Being shouted at by a literal giant when you're already at the bottom of the WWE totem pole can't be fun.

That's what happened to one Colt Cabana as he forced a smile and played the role of Scotty Goldman on SmackDown in 2008. After a squash match loss to Khali one night, Goldman found himself on the receiving end of a verbal tirade from the ex-World Champion. Khali's reasoning? Scotty didn't jump high enough for his finisher.

Cabana revealed this when posting some old SmackDown memories on his Twitter account. Though there was a definite tongue-in-cheek quality to every caption, Colt wasn't joking when he discussed Khali's fury. He'd failed to leap up into the air for the big man's Punjabi Plunge, and that earned him a bollocking.

Things were already bad enough for Goldman at this point. Clearly going nowhere fast, he was then chewed out by one of the strongest men on the roster who could easily have lifted him off the mat anyway. Good times, eh?
