Valentine gets screwed by Massif, I hope he'll get his hands on Brazil again and a shot at the World Title... That was definitely an interesting decision as I recall no suspension was rolled so Massif made that call outside of the dice result. This was the most controversial footnote in the history of the LOW World Heavyweight title.
