At the 1:03 mark, referee Joey ~~Curtia~~ stopped the fight. The crowd began to boo and then chant "Bullshit! Bullshit!" and "Fix! Fix!" Meanwhile, a brawl broke out in the ring between the two camps. Dokes had demanded the championship belt that Weaver had worn into the ring, and Weaver's brother swiped at Dokes, precipitating the chaos.
