Goldberg completely overrated regal was the best Goldberg was a terrible wrestler could only do two moves regal was one of the best wrestlers WCW and WWE ever had absolute pro exposed Goldberg for the fraud he was regal would never make him look good regal was a thousand times better than Goldberg regal could wrestle for a start Goldberg couldn't
I agree, when you look up "true ring technician" there should be a pic of Regal putting a stretch on someone... While it's all a work, that man -Legit , can hurt you .
Yes, he was such a good heel that it worked on me, and I knew better. But find the Steve Austin interview with him and you realize he was a great wrestling teacher all through his career and was his job in WWE at one time.
I've seen lord Steven regal behind the scenes when I was a kid at MGM studios. He is a pro he never broke character. I asked for an autograph and he replied, "no no I'm far too busy for that"
nick I realize that as well and he right it's not professional I'm surprised in some of these convos he don't flip on this dude he a wiseass and annoying
@@Technoir444 Seriously. How can you make a podcast video, where literally the only content in the video is looking at people's faces, and sit there chewing on gum like a horse?
A little decorum for Stevie Ray. But yet Stevie Ray chewing gum on the interview podcast. Come on Stevie Ray practice what you preach.. No chewing gum!
True Story. I met Booker at a book signing. He had just become GM of Smackdown. I wanted to ask him when he was gonna get Stevie Ray on Commentary. I asked him "Suckas Gots To Know" and he lost it. Started Laughing, asking his people "did you hear what he said?' No one got it. Stevie Ray was great on Commentary. Glad he's doing this show.
I saw Booker T and Sharmell in the gym on the Jericho cruise. Fans were generally respectful of the wrestlers, and we wouldn’t interrupt them during their workouts. A boy with Down Syndrome was in the gym, and asked me “Is that Booker T?” I smiled and said, “I think it is Booker T, young man.” Booker then stopped his workout, and talked to the kid for a couple minutes. Booker and Sharmell are intense in the gym, and still look like they’re in amazing shape.
Regal has forgotten more than Goldberg knows! Regal has been wrestling since he was around 13 years old and started at the bottom and worked his way to the top paying his dues along the way. He is most definitely due a place in the HOF in the near future. His podcast with Austin is a joy to listen to and I highly recommend it.

Loved that game, but once i figured out you can flick the joystick to get out of a pin or submission, it kinda ruined it so from there on i had to just turn it on knockout only
William Regal exposed ALL OF GOLDBERG'S weaknesses, he was one of WCW's biggest success stories, and the streak is legendary, even though Goldberg was green at the time William Regal wasn't going to job out like that.
I think Regal being interviewed by Kevin DuBrow of Quiet Riot is the best one ever. Kevin asked him with some of his favourite bands growing up were. Being from England William Regal said Slade. Kevin piped up "oh yeah, I made those guys a lot of money" Regal immediately realize who he was and ask him "don't you think it's the other way around?" Kevin Dubrow asked him "what do you mean?" Regal looked him in the eye and said: " well, the only two hits you had were both Slade songs. SLADE wrote them, so I have to think it was THEM that they made YOU money!" Dubrow got all pissed off "you don't have to be like that" to which Regal replied: with a Stranglehold and started choking out the singer for Quiet Riot right there in the radio Studio. That didn't help him keep his job either
Our morning DJ has had issues with new co-hosts, chewing gum and drinking on set. Even coughing into the microphone or smacking their lips. After years of hearing him get on the case of co-hosts there was once like 10 seconds of dead air followed by 1 commercial. When they came back there was apology from the co-host saying she will never chew gum on set ever again. The host explained she started choking on her gum.

Do you think any one of those two guys were any more of a man's man or legit tough guys than Regal? Regal was being unprofessional.End of story.
FWIW, I suspect this (refusing to do jobs) is the big reason sports entertainment is the way its today. Everyone is kept a mid-carder (no one gets over) to prevent these kinds of disagreements that cost the company money.
I would love to see a show where Stevie Ray just goes about his day, cutting promos on everyone. His family, the mailman, meter maids, dog walkers, everyone!
Regal said goldberg froze up in their match so he tried to work around him and salvage the match. Goldberg was lucky he wasn't in there with someone like ken shamrock, bradshaw or vader who would have just beat him down in the middle of the ring!
Definitely lucky he took care of people. I think Bill was annoyed after cause he was inexperienced and didn't know Regal was just trying to go home believebly. It's like he told the booker. "I can't beat up myself" and up until then that was the longest he had ever gone in a match. So much of this is lost sight of. Regal is a fucking legend of a person and it's shit that idiots on here have no clue. Like the fake dipshits on your comment. He probably thinks a shoot match is wrestling and laser tag.
I remember being a kid watching that match and I thought it made wrestling look a little bit more real I thought to myself you see how good of a wrestler he is no one has taken Goldberg this long
Yep. Goldberg was just not a technical wrestler. Isolated power moves in a quick squash match - not a problem unless you can be safe and effective while selling moves - which he didn’t do at all. He literally ended Bretts career with a hard kick to the face. BUT of all the wrestlers who faced him Regal at least got an OK match out of Goldberg.
Apparently backstage wanted Regal to give Goldberg his first "legitimate" test in the ring and both men were on board. Then right before the match began, unbeknownst to Regal, some higher-up told Goldberg "you better squash this guy or you'll lose your credibility". Classic WCW miscommunication led to an awkward match that ultimately did expose Goldberg and whether or not Regal was fired for that or for his drug issues is up for debate.
He was fired for embarrassing Goldberg on TV him being on drugs was the excuse they used to justify it. Regal admitted that in a shoot interview that and the fact that hours before the match happened they did a run thru of what was going to happen and when it came time to do it Goldberg went completely off script no selling his moves so Regal said to hell with it and embarrassed him in the ring. To answer who told Goldberg to squash him it was either the head booker (can't remember who was the booker at the time) or Bischoff my guess Bischoff since he was high on Goldberg squashing everybody during that point of his streak.
I watched that match when it happened on TV and I watched over and over again on TH-cam. What I saw was Regal teaching a young buck the facts of the business. He in no way "exposed" Goldberg. He eventually put Goldberg over in that match. If anything William Regal taught Goldberg how to wrestle a little bit better. I watched a podcast with Goldberg as he thanked William Regal for the lesson. In my opinion it made Goldberg's win even more legit.
He would have been up there with Flair had he been featured in the previous generation. He had it all for a classic heel: a punchable face, a dick attitude, real brawling skills, could work the coward angle, was great as a heel on the mic and was a technical wizard which could help him keep up with lenghthy matches against top babyfaces ala Flair. Too bad he was featured in an era where you have to look like Goldberg or talk like The Rock to be top game
on the wiki, during the collosal connection when Andre and Haku/meng were a tag team. Andre the giant said there were only two men he physically feared, wrestling coach named Harley, and Haku. Harley, I don't know why. But all you have to do is hear one wrestler talk about Haku and that's all you'll need to hear.
@@Jeudaos Harley Race, he was former NWA champion. His reputation was a tough, tough man. He use to boss Vader around in WCW, and Vader was seen as a bully. Dude was all man.
I like the match. The 'Kicking everybody's ass' thing shouldn't be so black and white in wrestling. A guy who's a monster getting in there with a supreme technician should look like the Regal/Goldberg match. The commentators should be told to non-stop highlight the fact that grapplers can HALT a monster by taking away so much of their offence through techniques. The monster winning at the end should be sold as a huge deal because not even great technique could hold their power for long.
Nonsense. Goldberg was becoming the typical squash-monster. I get that monsters generate hype, but there's only so much of "Big monster smashes puny mortal" before it gets stale, then when matches like Berg v Brock came along, it was an utter disaster. The Regal/Berg match in question may have played up on Bergs weaknesses, but it still made him look good. He actually squashed someone who put up a fight for a change, and Regal got to maintain a little dignity despite knowing it was typical 'jobbing'. From Regal's PoV, he was TOLD to 'wrestle' him - and then told off by the exact same people afterwards.
After watching shoot interviews of Stevie Ray he seems like a no nonsense , down to earth kind of person. My late father loved wrestling and Harlem Heat was his all time favorite tag team. His favorite wrestling story to tell people how he got to meet Harlem Heat as a kid at a WCW show in the early 90's. He said Booker T and Stevie Ray were amazingly nice to him. Took the time to talk to him and took a picture with him. My mom still has that picture in a frame in her office.
Wow thank you Stevie Ray for your contributions to wrestling. Me and my best friend Tai always mention our favorite tag team #1 The Harlem Heat. You def tell the truth, are very sencere and pationate when it comes to the wrestling business! Hearing your side to this story (do not care what anyone else thinks otherwise) clarifies it for me. Thank you brother and much respect
Everytime I hear this story it's so exaggerated. Goldberg saw what Regal was on & Goldberg actually pulled off some very impressive reversals & a roll up leglock. 2 me it made Goldberg look gr8. BTW, the match didn't even last 10mins. The commentary was superb.
Regal comes from a serious wrestling background, far tougher than Americans are used to. He was trained by people with more moves than are typical in US wrestling. That was British wrestling in the 70s and 80s; genuinely technical. Think Dynamite Kid and Rollerball Mark Rocco. Plus Regal is tough anyway....
Harlem Heat in my opinion is the greatest tag team of all time. They were Big, Scary, awesome entrance music, full of passion and excitement, and most of all; they had the skills to pay the bills and knew how to tear the house down. The total package!
405 BOY My top 5 tag teams of all-time are. 1) Road Warriors 2) Harlem Heat 3) The Midnight Express Bobby Eaton&Stan Lane 4) The Rock&Roll Express 5) The New Breed
IRON5 That's a pretty good list..I liked the Rock n Roll Express too.I probably should also throw in Demolition, and the British Bulldogs, to make my 2nd best top 3 tag teams..
@@hillbillydelux on any interviewers desk theres drinks going all th way back 2 Johnny Carson/ Jay Leno. If u talk 4 an extended time mouth gets dry. I think Stevie Ray's on crack
no, cause on the documentary, Regal and Benshoff said Regal/ himself was sent out there to see if Goldberg can carry a longer match, but said it was terrible because Goldberg didn't even know Tech basics. He got pushed too soon from development
I think the story is bigger then the match actually was. As I seen it live, and I've rewatched it a few times since then. The match wasn't bad and it didn't make Goldberg look bad either. He was a hot rookie who hadn't lost and regal was legit. Goldberg heald his own against him and in the end he obviously learned from it. And both came off looking good.
Regal says himself that he didn’t get fired for months. He said he was a mess and on drugs and although the Goldberg thing was probably a part of it but not the sole reason.
Regal had his "issues"- so I can see him being on his last strike with WCW. But he's a legit badass- and certainly could make someone look like a fool in the ring if he wanted to.
I like how dude started off trying trying to be an ass with the "marks" comment, and looked like a fool when s Stevie Ray confirmed it. Big ups to Stevie Ray. He always keep it real. Much love to homie.
Laying down the law? If you get offended by apple juice to where you feel the need to embarrass someone then you aren't laying down the law, you're being an asshole.
I’ve watched the match quite a few times. I didn’t really think he made him look that bad. He didn’t roll over for him, but Goldberg did some cool moves on him. It seems over hyped honestly.
You are correct. They actually had a decent match, and Goldberg did some real wrestling moves. The thing that made it different was it was the first match that Goldberg didn't just squash his opponent in seconds.
It was obviously that GOldberg was clueless....You sure you watched the right match? lol The only rassling moves he did were the ones Regal LEAD him into doing lol
@@DrMurdercock so if someone will counter a move you will actually not consider it a wrestling move... And regal was trying to be a Olympic wrestler,pro wrestling is not only grappling everyone has different style Look at current stars roman reigns,seth Rollins and finn balor They do slam their opponents through mat which Goldberg also did Rollins and balor are somewhat high flyers so they do that also but pro wrestling doesn't involve proper wrestling especially grappling If you wanna watch grappling then watch Olympics or Indian dangal I know regal was a better grappler because his roots belongs to that But Goldberg was a better striker, power wrestler
Seen it live and just now.... looks like Regal carried the match because Goldberg wasn’t attacking him. WTF was the guy supposed to do but wrestle a damn match? Besides it didn’t hurt to state the obvious that Goldberg was green as a blade of grass.🤷♂️
Regal is a legit legend. If he’s not in the WWE Hall Of Fame he damn well should be. But he also broke the golden rule. He broke kayfab. He was the veteran in that ring. He damn well knew better. His pride got in the way of his commitment to putting on a good show. He was tasked with putting over Goldberg. It wasn't his place to decide to embarrass the golden boy just because he got pissy about it. I would have fired him too. As I said, the man is a legend but he fucked up bad. He deservd to be fired.
Regal exposed a lot of wrestlers. He had great skill compared to others. The others were just for their physique and the odd occasion whereby they'd exhibit great strength. Promoters wanted action men, not a brit who could dance around the rest of them.
I watched that match many times and saw a competitive match. I didn't see Regal embarrass Goldberg. I saw a good match between a awesome legend in William Regal and a awesome newcomer Bill Goldberg. I thought it was a great match. No Goldberg didn't come out and destroy Regal in 30 seconds and I didn't expect that to happen. I thoroughly enjoyed the match. It taught Goldberg a lot in the wrestling ring and I loved it.
Also tell them this every time regal threw punches at goldberg, goldberg shok it off.... every time regal had him in a tangle hold goldberg had a counter...REGAL PLAN WAS TO TANGLE UP GOLDBERG AND HAVE HIM OFF RHYTHM he's use to win when he squash a opponent ... question did you see regal pick up goldberg and throw him around ? NO did you see goldberg throw him around before he hit him with a spear ? YES. .... u see regal surprised goldberg by hitting him but not damaging him cause goldberg shook it off and he tangled his arms..... but goldberg said ok this is different... imma flow along with it ,EVERY MOVE REGAL DID GOLDBERG COUNTERED... THEN HIT EM WITH THE SPEAR...THE END 😂😂😂❤

Definitely lucky he took care of people. I think Bill was annoyed after cause he was inexperienced and didn't know Regal was just trying to go home believebly. It's like he told the booker. "I can't beat up myself" and up until then that was the longest he had ever gone in a match.
So much of this is lost sight of. Regal is a fucking legend of a person and it's shit that idiots on here have no clue. Like the fake dipshits on your comment. He probably thinks a shoot match is wrestling and laser tag.
Not bradshaw though. Jbl is fake tough
I remember being a kid watching that match and I thought it made wrestling look a little bit more real I thought to myself you see how good of a wrestler he is no one has taken Goldberg this long
Yep. Goldberg was just not a technical wrestler. Isolated power moves in a quick squash match - not a problem unless you can be safe and effective while selling moves - which he didn’t do at all. He literally ended Bretts career with a hard kick to the face. BUT of all the wrestlers who faced him Regal at least got an OK match out of Goldberg.
Apparently backstage wanted Regal to give Goldberg his first "legitimate" test in the ring and both men were on board. Then right before the match began, unbeknownst to Regal, some higher-up told Goldberg "you better squash this guy or you'll lose your credibility". Classic WCW miscommunication led to an awkward match that ultimately did expose Goldberg and whether or not Regal was fired for that or for his drug issues is up for debate.
He was fired for embarrassing Goldberg on TV him being on drugs was the excuse they used to justify it. Regal admitted that in a shoot interview that and the fact that hours before the match happened they did a run thru of what was going to happen and when it came time to do it Goldberg went completely off script no selling his moves so Regal said to hell with it and embarrassed him in the ring. To answer who told Goldberg to squash him it was either the head booker (can't remember who was the booker at the time) or Bischoff my guess Bischoff since he was high on Goldberg squashing everybody during that point of his streak.
I watched that match when it happened on TV and I watched over and over again on TH-cam. What I saw was Regal teaching a young buck the facts of the business. He in no way "exposed" Goldberg. He eventually put Goldberg over in that match. If anything William Regal taught Goldberg how to wrestle a little bit better. I watched a podcast with Goldberg as he thanked William Regal for the lesson. In my opinion it made Goldberg's win even more legit.
LMAO "No apple juice, no water, no MILK, no nothin" lol
No cocoa either, LoL
What about coffee though ?
Regal was the most genuinely skilled wrestler of his era.
He would have been up there with Flair had he been featured in the previous generation. He had it all for a classic heel: a punchable face, a dick attitude, real brawling skills, could work the coward angle, was great as a heel on the mic and was a technical wizard which could help him keep up with lenghthy matches against top babyfaces ala Flair.
Too bad he was featured in an era where you have to look like Goldberg or talk like The Rock to be top game
I love these interviews with Stevie Ray. It's obvious that he's very passionate about the business
I heard Regal, Haku, and Rick Rude where all tough S.O.B.S
on the wiki, during the collosal connection when Andre and Haku/meng were a tag team. Andre the giant said there were only two men he physically feared, wrestling coach named Harley, and Haku. Harley, I don't know why. But all you have to do is hear one wrestler talk about Haku and that's all you'll need to hear.
@@Jeudaos Harley Race, he was former NWA champion. His reputation was a tough, tough man. He use to boss Vader around in WCW, and Vader was seen as a bully. Dude was all man.
True dat
I love when Stevie gives Matt a hard time...😂
"Mr producer, pass the cigarette" lololololol classic
Damn Stevie Ray let the man have his apple juice lol
daniel long vvk
Water should atleast be allowed...
Yeah as long as it's actually water. Maybe drink it only when you're thirsty from talking so much.
Bit its okay to chew gum during a conversation/interview? Stupid idiot.
daniel long , ya bro, what is wrong with having juice during a conversation.
Apple juice, milk, cocoa, coffee -- if the Hall of Famer says you're on a fast, brother, you're on a fast.
I like the match. The 'Kicking everybody's ass' thing shouldn't be so black and white in wrestling. A guy who's a monster getting in there with a supreme technician should look like the Regal/Goldberg match. The commentators should be told to non-stop highlight the fact that grapplers can HALT a monster by taking away so much of their offence through techniques. The monster winning at the end should be sold as a huge deal because not even great technique could hold their power for long.

I never felt lume it was a bad showing for Goldberg it was just a good showing for Regal.
Nonsense. Goldberg was becoming the typical squash-monster. I get that monsters generate hype, but there's only so much of "Big monster smashes puny mortal" before it gets stale, then when matches like Berg v Brock came along, it was an utter disaster. The Regal/Berg match in question may have played up on Bergs weaknesses, but it still made him look good. He actually squashed someone who put up a fight for a change, and Regal got to maintain a little dignity despite knowing it was typical 'jobbing'. From Regal's PoV, he was TOLD to 'wrestle' him - and then told off by the exact same people afterwards.
Except he didn't really demonstrate any great skill or anything. He just ran from him the entire time. It was boring as fuck.
After watching shoot interviews of Stevie Ray he seems like a no nonsense , down to earth kind of person. My late father loved wrestling and Harlem Heat was his all time favorite tag team. His favorite wrestling story to tell people how he got to meet Harlem Heat as a kid at a WCW show in the early 90's. He said Booker T and Stevie Ray were amazingly nice to him. Took the time to talk to him and took a picture with him. My mom still has that picture in a frame in her office.
LMAO! I remember this! Goldberg looked up at Regal as if to say "Hey, you know I'm supposed to win, right?!"
XD
I love the way Stevie cut an awesome promo, mid convo. Then......back to the topic lol
I hated regal as a kid but I loved using him in video games with the brass knuckles an now that I’m older I appreciate him great wrestler.
I may not liked Regal's character, but i could enjoy his wrestling style, always(most times)puts on a good show.
Wow thank you Stevie Ray for your contributions to wrestling. Me and my best friend Tai always mention our favorite tag team #1 The Harlem Heat. You def tell the truth, are very sencere and pationate when it comes to the wrestling business! Hearing your side to this story (do not care what anyone else thinks otherwise) clarifies it for me. Thank you brother and much respect
Number1WuFan I loved Harlem Heat as well. Booker T was my favorite in WCW for awhile
Captain: I'm pissed off
Flight attendant: Better to be pissed off than pissed on.
Stevie Ray's still got it man. Congratulations on him and Booker T getting inducted as Harlem Heat into the WWE Hall of Fame.
As much as I was looking forward to hearing the Regal convo I actually really enjoyed the Applejuice convo 😂
Don't drink anything during this interview, be professional. Meanwhile hes chewing gum into the microphone throughout the entirety of the show. Lol.
gum and alcohol are 2 different things. I think one is a bit worse, lol
mike richards some people can drink alcohol and still function
Regal says he was told by someone in WCW management to do it; though he won't say who that person is.
Regal was one of the best GM's in WWE history. He booked some outstanding matches when the WWE/WCW merged
Everytime I hear this story it's so exaggerated. Goldberg saw what Regal was on & Goldberg actually pulled off some very impressive reversals & a roll up leglock. 2 me it made Goldberg look gr8. BTW, the match didn't even last 10mins. The commentary was superb.
He made me put my Apple juice down listening to this lol
RavenCee 😂😅🤣
Regal comes from a serious wrestling background, far tougher than Americans are used to. He was trained by people with more moves than are typical in US wrestling. That was British wrestling in the 70s and 80s; genuinely technical. Think Dynamite Kid and Rollerball Mark Rocco. Plus Regal is tough anyway....
Nods while chopping wood.
Harlem Heat in my opinion is the greatest tag team of all time. They were Big, Scary, awesome entrance music, full of passion and excitement, and most of all; they had the skills to pay the bills and knew how to tear the house down. The total package!
Ryan Alves thank you very much Ryan you are a real fan
Ryan Alves hell yeah man!!!
Ryan Alves Harlem Heat were definitely in my top 3 best tag teams ever(1.Road Warriors 2. Steiner Brothers 3. Harlem Heat)..
405 BOY My top 5 tag teams of all-time are.
1) Road Warriors
2) Harlem Heat
3) The Midnight Express
Bobby Eaton&Stan Lane
4) The Rock&Roll Express
5) The New Breed
IRON5 That's a pretty good list..I liked the Rock n Roll Express too.I probably should also throw in Demolition, and the British Bulldogs, to make my 2nd best top 3 tag teams..
Stevie yelling about Apple Juice trying to remember the story 🤣🤣😂😂
Sure you do lmfao. No more apple juice not even water lmao no liquids lmfao I'm crying yo
Michael Parks 👀
AInt no one more fun to listen to than Stevie Ray. I love his take on wrestling
Stevie Ray says no drinking on set, We ain’t drinking on set then.
Well when the legend speaks you listen
Wtf is wrong w/him? No drinking on th set? Is his mind gone or what??
@@gizzy2403 mans a professional and expect a professional atmosphere. If you're tipsy you're sloppy.
@@hillbillydelux on any interviewers desk theres drinks going all th way back 2 Johnny Carson/ Jay Leno. If u talk 4 an extended time mouth gets dry. I think Stevie Ray's on crack
no, cause on the documentary, Regal and Benshoff said Regal/ himself was sent out there to see if Goldberg can carry a longer match, but said it was terrible because Goldberg didn't even know Tech basics. He got pushed too soon from development
When those wcw games were coming out on the 64 Stevie was one of my favorite wrestlers
Regal is a tough SOB
Goldberg was the worst. , Regal Deserved better
Goldberg drew money. Regal didn't.
Regal didn’t embarrass Goldberg, Goldberg embarrassed Goldberg
Regal went into business for himself that night.
The argument over apple juice lol
I think the story is bigger then the match actually was. As I seen it live, and I've rewatched it a few times since then. The match wasn't bad and it didn't make Goldberg look bad either. He was a hot rookie who hadn't lost and regal was legit. Goldberg heald his own against him and in the end he obviously learned from it. And both came off looking good.
shinnox How was WCW live? I would have loved to have seen Regal live.
Getting that book ASAP.
greenbayandtottenham
You must fucking kidding.
shinnox Agreed.
Regal wasn't a draw, but to say he couldn't talk and didn't have charisma is just stupid
BRING THIS PODCAST BACK!!!!!! MORE DAMN IT
oh shit, get marcus bagwell on
I'm really enjoying these interviews!
Could listen to stevie ray all day
Regal was one of the greatest wrestlers in the history of wrestling
Love how Stevie Ray is grilling the dude for being unprofessional, classy
Regal says himself that he didn’t get fired for months. He said he was a mess and on drugs and although the Goldberg thing was probably a part of it but not the sole reason.
Regal had his "issues"- so I can see him being on his last strike with WCW. But he's a legit badass- and certainly could make someone look like a fool in the ring if he wanted to.
I like how dude started off trying trying to be an ass with the "marks" comment, and looked like a fool when s Stevie Ray confirmed it.
Big ups to Stevie Ray. He always keep it real. Much love to homie.
Regal said on the night “I can’t wrestle myself” basically mocking Goldberg for being A. Shit and B. Limited on what he can do.
What happened ?. He just beat Goldberg badly ? Why didn’t Goldberg fight back
@@ryanp8920 regal was a legit tough guy. Goldberg wasn’t
That was one of the best matches Goldberg had, whatever Regal's motivation.
Gotta love Stevie Ray laying down the law.
Nope , not me. Bitching about drinking , sounds like puritan bullshit.
Laying down the law? If you get offended by apple juice to where you feel the need to embarrass someone then you aren't laying down the law, you're being an asshole.
@@Jasonhoods My goodness, he's joking!! If you and *Casterdam* are too stupid to see that then life must be pretty difficult for you guys!!
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂😭😭😭
@@parismccoy20 *too
I’ve watched the match quite a few times. I didn’t really think he made him look that bad. He didn’t roll over for him, but Goldberg did some cool moves on him. It seems over hyped honestly.
You are correct. They actually had a decent match, and Goldberg did some real wrestling moves. The thing that made it different was it was the first match that Goldberg didn't just squash his opponent in seconds.
Exactly Goldberg did good moves
It was obviously that GOldberg was clueless....You sure you watched the right match? lol The only rassling moves he did were the ones Regal LEAD him into doing lol
@@spencerbhuru9044 No, lol, He followed Regal's lead, Regal was doing all the work, this is why Regal was fired and why he was considered "exposed"
@@DrMurdercock so if someone will counter a move you will actually not consider it a wrestling move...
And regal was trying to be a Olympic wrestler,pro wrestling is not only grappling everyone has different style
Look at current stars roman reigns,seth Rollins and finn balor
They do slam their opponents through mat which Goldberg also did Rollins and balor are somewhat high flyers so they do that also but pro wrestling doesn't involve proper wrestling especially grappling
If you wanna watch grappling then watch Olympics or Indian dangal
I know regal was a better grappler
because his roots belongs to that
But Goldberg was a better striker, power wrestler
Seen it live and just now.... looks like Regal carried the match because Goldberg wasn’t attacking him. WTF was the guy supposed to do but wrestle a damn match? Besides it didn’t hurt to state the obvious that Goldberg was green as a blade of grass.🤷♂️
"Stevie Ray shoots hard on Apple Juice"
Ive met stevie twice in person , hes an awesome guy ! He also has a badass 69 Camaro
Regal will whoop any wrestling stars arse if it came down to technical wrestling on the mat
Regal is so underrated and the best Goldberg sucks
Man stevie ray made me feel like i fcked up...like a kid who disappointed his dad
Goldberg embarrassed himself....
Goldberg sucks regal rocks
Whats that Goldberg won the WWE title in his 50s? wow how embarrassing!
sum obo Goldberg couldn’t wrestle when he was in his prime. Still couldn’t wrestle in his 50’s
I love these Stevie Ray interviews.
It was not William Regal's idea to go 6 minutes with Bill Goldberg who only knew enough moves to carry about a 90 second match.
I came across these videos late but these two chemistry is amazing. Stevie Ray is hilarious btw lol
Regal is a legit legend. If he’s not in the WWE Hall Of Fame he damn well should be. But he also broke the golden rule. He broke kayfab. He was the veteran in that ring. He damn well knew better. His pride got in the way of his commitment to putting on a good show. He was tasked with putting over Goldberg. It wasn't his place to decide to embarrass the golden boy just because he got pissy about it. I would have fired him too. As I said, the man is a legend but he fucked up bad. He deservd to be fired.
Stevie Ray reminds me that big bully guy from the movie “House Party” with Kid and Play.
He do
Regal exposed a lot of wrestlers. He had great skill compared to others. The others were just for their physique and the odd occasion whereby they'd exhibit great strength. Promoters wanted action men, not a brit who could dance around the rest of them.
I watched that match many times and saw a competitive match. I didn't see Regal embarrass Goldberg. I saw a good match between a awesome legend in William Regal and a awesome newcomer Bill Goldberg. I thought it was a great match. No Goldberg didn't come out and destroy Regal in 30 seconds and I didn't expect that to happen. I thoroughly enjoyed the match. It taught Goldberg a lot in the wrestling ring and I loved it.
Also tell them this every time regal threw punches at goldberg, goldberg shok it off.... every time regal had him in a tangle hold goldberg had a counter...REGAL PLAN WAS TO TANGLE UP GOLDBERG AND HAVE HIM OFF RHYTHM he's use to win when he squash a opponent ... question did you see regal pick up goldberg and throw him around ? NO did you see goldberg throw him around before he hit him with a spear ? YES. .... u see regal surprised goldberg by hitting him but not damaging him cause goldberg shook it off and he tangled his arms..... but goldberg said ok this is different... imma flow along with it ,EVERY MOVE REGAL DID GOLDBERG COUNTERED... THEN HIT EM WITH THE SPEAR...THE END 😂😂😂❤
Stevie takes no crap. Love him! 💪💪🤛
Coincidentally, Goldberg's face on the thumbnail is the same face he makes after eating two pounds of pastrami and visiting the bathroom.
It's refreshing to see videos that don't actually go into detail on what the title says for a change 👌
“A grateful dog is better than an ungrateful man.”

Now if you'd put Goldberg and Stevie Ray together they would've been evenly matched.
Stevie ray: The Tk Kirkland of wrestling.😁
