Ohno says that Regal mentioned he has been in wrestling for 30 years, but what does he have to show for it? What’s your legacy? Ohno says Regal was the once-proud villain, you used to take pride in destroying people. Now you’re content to kick back, pull faces and laugh with all of these people and all the while, these people are laughing at you because you are a joke. The crowd boos at that, but Ohno says not to boo him, he is telling the truth, Regal has no legacy. 30-year career and the only thing that will remember about Regal is the time he got on his knees, put his lips together and kissed Vince McMahon’s……
Before he can finish, Regal nails Ohno with a left hand. Ohno can’t believe it as the crowd chants for Regal. Ohno rolls out to the outside while once again, Regal is angry with himself over what he did as we go to commercial.
