7. Choking The Lead Singer Of Quiet Riot
Following the brawl with the Vegas bouncers, Regal was scheduled to do media the next morning to promote the WCW shows. When he arrived at the radio station he immediately felt a strong dislike for the DJ and his big, stupid wig but couldnt put his finger on why. Turns out it was Kevin DuBrow, the former lead singer of Quiet Riot. For a little background, Regals favorite band is Slade. Quiet Riots biggest hit was a cover of Slades Cum On Feel The Noize, and they followed that up with a second cover of the bands Mama, Weer All Crazee Now. During the course of the interview DuBrow asks him what music he likes and the wrestler responds that hes a big Slade fan, to which DuBrow snidely adds that he made those guys a lot of money. Regal still half in the bag took offense to the statement and an argument ensued that led to him grabbing the singer by the throat and threatening to knock the stupid wig off his head while vociferously defending the honor of his favorite band. Eventually he was able to be restrained and removed from the radio station, and Regal has no doubt that this incident contributed to his being fired.
