I thought it was Goldberg's best match up until that point. Watching Bill have the same 90 second match over and over again was boring. He needed to learn to wrestle.
PRO wrestling is about entertainment yes. However the foundation to pro wrestling is REAL wrestling. & The fact remains Regal is, was & will always be a better wrestler than Goldberg
@@pjleon8391 doesn't matter how talented you are if you can't sell. Today nobody has the look Hogan or Goldberg have and WWE is something only watched by a niche. Wrestling was great with gimmick wrestlers like Flair, Bruno, Tatanka, Lex Luger etc. The more the idiots did podcasts saying Luger didn't know wrestling, Goldberg was dangerous and Hogan was overrated, it killed wrestling with the mainstream audience. All these idiotic veterans backstage pushing talented guys have only resulted in new Bret Hart and Shawn Michael type vanilla midgets becoming champions.
One person was a relative rookie who some would argue never picked up ring psychology or how the business worked throughout his career, the other guy was a seasoned veteran that held his hand up to everything he did wrong in his career, I know what account im believing
It proved early on that Goldberg could never have anything more than a squash match. His deal was that he went out and destroyed jobbers. But he was dangerous in the ring and didn’t really know how to work a standard match. He was WCW’s Ahmed Johnson. Nobody is going to deny his popularity, but Ahmed was popular too. Vince at least realized that you couldn’t have a guy hurting other wrestlers in the ring. Goldberg was rushed out of the Power Plant and once it was clear he wasn’t ready to be a safe worker he should have been sent back to learn. But WCW was in a ratings war and chose short term gain for long term pain.
@@R8DRBeagle Regal is from Wolverhampton, which is near Birmingham. Tony Iommi is from Birmingham. People in Blackpool sound more like British Bulldog and Dynamite Kid.
While I do believe Regal was trying to get a competitive match out of Goldberg, I also believe Regal intentionally exposed Goldberg because he was envious of the push Goldberg was receiving. I can’t blame him, he was way more experienced and better in the ring. Listen to Stevie Ray’s podcast Stand Up For Greatness and he says outright the boys in the back knew Regal was gonna do it because he wasn’t going to lay down for anyone.
He did say that, but it was all an assumption on his part as well. He thought Regal wouldn't lie down for anyone - but if Regal is telling the truth (and I believe him) he was TOLD to have a competitive match. I don't know how you could even have a SIX MINUTE Goldberg squash. Do 10 spears and 10 jackhammers? Regal didn't seem to do anything to take liberties, and the match wasn't bad, there were just moments were Goldberg was awkward and seemed unsure what to do next. When it was time to go down, Regal went down.
@@datacipher obviously Regal was told to have a competitive match I totally believe that. However, I don’t think he was told to go out there and expose Goldberg for being green which he did. By outwrestling him and making it clear Goldberg had no technical ability in the ring. And I’d argue as a veteran Regal’s job was to make the guy being given a push look good and he didn’t. That’s why Bischoff was pissed and rightfully so.
Regal was just trying to "work" the way any wresler of his era would. im sure he enjoyed a bit exposing Goldberg though. probably a lot of wrestlers wanted to see that.
@@5150crazyfunmost fans on this page forget that wrestling is fake. Regals job was to do the job. If it was real wrestling we have no clue who would have been a champion? Goldberg drew more dimes than Regal ever did. Many wrestlers getting bitter about Goldberg should know it doesn't matter how good you are as a wrestler if you can't draw or don't have the saleable look.

I believe Mr. Regal he has no reason to lie
And Goldberg's entire career is built off one.
Regal, a true professional wrestler vs a GREEN rookie. Regal is far beyond what Greenberg could handle.
Regal could never draw a dime unlike Goldberg.

Regal simply out wrestled him, he wasn't charging nothing up in his style for a roided out rookie 😂
Out wrestled him in a fake match and your being happy. 😂
@@afdcg and your mad 😅
@@pjleon8391 wrestling is all about entertaining fans and Goldberg did it right.
Regal sucked and nobody paid to see him.

Funny thing is, I always thought it was a perfectly fine match, and I wouldn't have thought anything of it if I hadn't read all the hoo-haa about it!

Austin, we love you, but STOP INTERRUPTING AND LET THE GUY TALK.
Greenberg had no clue what do to. They should have given him Regal in some house shows before doing it on Nitro.
Regal needs to name the agent who told him to go have a competitive match with Goldberg, that may put this myth to bed
Not sure who the WCW agents were at that point in time to try and guess. I think Terry Taylor was one.

I remember thinking more of Goldberg after that match than before
Is it me or does Regal sound like Tony Iommi from Black Sabbath.
Never thought of that, but yeah. Guess everyone talks like that from Blackpool.

@@djangofett4879The fact that Regal managed to squeeze out a rolling leglock from Goldberg speaks more to Regal's ability.
