16 Things We Learned From William Regal On Talk Is Jericho

9. The Goldberg Incident

This leads to the two discussing the much-debated incident where Regal was infamously accused of shooting on Bill Goldberg early in his run in WCW. If you haven€™t seen the match, critics and WCW officials accused Regal of trying to embarrass the inexperienced superstar in their match, even going so far as to suggest that he was trying to legitimately hurt him. €œI€™m under no allusions as to what I am, but I have had a few scuffles outside the ring in my time. I€™ve never once tried to put somebody in a headlock or tried to give them an uppercut. If you don€™t see what I€™m trying to do in that€and unfortunately something€™s happened where Bill has a different idea€€ Regal says he remembers the night very clearly because he€™d just come back from a seven week suspension after being jailed in Alaska. He remarks that there was a good 18 months where he was completely off the rails and he should have been fired long before this incident but that€™s it€™s not at all what people tried to make it out to be. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4IdelJfk2k
