When Stefan Raab entered the overcrowded Capitol in Cologne shortly after 11 p.m. on March 22, 2001, accompanied by two cheerleaders, he had no idea what disgrace would inflict on him.
Whenever Raab looks in the mirror, memories of Regina Halmich's hard left straight, which smashed his nose to the cheering of the audience, should wake up.
Millions watched the fight on television, “Tagesschau” and “Heute” had no chance.
Of course she could have shifted up a gear, says Halmich today about a fight that was fistfighting at fair level. And yet groundbreaking.
