The only problem; Goldberg was very, very green, and could not work a match longer than a few minutes. According to Regal, he was told to put on a six minute, much more competitive match with Goldberg. There was some confusion, apparently, as to the match length among the booking staff.

Goldberg quickly ran out of steam, and Regal applied legit wrestling holds such as tight headlocks to the big man in an effort to drag a better performance out of him. Once the match was over--won by Goldberg, of course, after a Jackhammer--Eric Bischoff was furious with Regal, and blamed him for the poor performance.
Though Goldberg initially stuck up for Regal, he later made statements that Regal had made the big man look foolish and hurt his credibility. Regal was fired several months later for several reasons, but among them was probably this incident.
