Marko says that the wrong call was made and that his shoulders were up, but he is not here to make excuses, and he hands the Internet Championship to King Cobra, saying there is a list of people he needs to beat, but he needs to do as the Heritage Champion. King Cobra takes the title and says that he understands his feelings and frustrations and may not agree with it, but he sees where Marko is coming from, and announces that Friday night in Jackson, Tennessee, Marko will get his shot.
