I cant believe it was 10 years ago.
Arnie was so hyped up you had to drag him off the ceiling, and that was on the way to the ring. Ultimately that led to his downfall.
Tak caught him with a beaut and that was it - all over.
The atmosphere that night was electric.
Arnie might let us have his take on it, when he's next nosying around here.
Yes m8 the atmosphere was electric I didn't think nothing could stop me that night, I remember walking to the ring and the noise was deafening I looked to my side there was a huge guy with a big gold chain round his neck shouting Arnie Arnie he had tears coming down his face that got me started, we r the champions music blasting, Roy Keans football top on I started singing myself I lost complete control of my emotions, when I got in the ring I was to stiff and that's that really, I was devastated at the time but now I can tell my guys about my experiences and how to react when the pressure is on and so on learn from ur own experience as they say.
Well said Arnie, shows it can happen to anyone. On another night can be the other way round and and yes as a trainer you now have invaluable experience of having seen both sides of the coin.
