Raven walks over to Spike, who is on all fours again and applies a Camel Clutch. The crowd immediately starts rallying behind Spike, begging him not to tap, as Raven wrenches the hold as harder and harder with every second. Finally after 30 seconds of this old school submission, being applied to little Spike Dudley, Raven lets go. Raven seemed to be softening Spike up for a table move, as he lifts the prone body of Spike up by the hair and pants. He lifts Spike on his feet and drags him towards the table, but Spike plants his feet on the ground. Raven realizes that Spike is not going to let this happen.

Raven turns around to Spike, who tucks his head in and charges Raven, battering ramming his head right into the gut of Raven. Raven bends down holding his gut, as Spike gets to a vertical base, and as if Spike has a second wind, he grabs Raven in a cutter position and runs towards and up the turnbuckle, which has the table close to it and shifts his body for the Acid Drop, threw the table! The crowd roars with cheers as Raven falls threw the table and just 5 seconds later, Spike shoots the half nelson pin, 1... 2... Raven kicks out to some, “Awwww!”, chants from the crowd. Soon the crowd starts cheering, “This match rules,”, and claps 6 times before saying it again. Spike gets up to his feet and gets right into the referee’s face. Spike, believing it was 3 tries to do some form of negotiating with the referee. Spike, finally realizing the task at hand, picks up a destroyed Raven and puts him in a cutter position again as he runs up the turnbuckle for the Acid drop again, but Raven throws Spike off of him and towards the middle of the ring, but Spike lands on his feet! Spike turns around to charge Raven, but Raven swiftly kicks Spike in the gut and within a split second, nails the Raven Effect on the broken table! Lateral press by Raven! 1... 2... 3!
“Your winner of the match, via pinfall, Raven!”, says Shane Douglas, as the fans claps the hard fought victory of Raven.
“Now that match was brutal.”, says Joey Styles as Raven is laying on the mat, still feeling the effects of the match. Finally he stands on his feet and raises his arm in victory.
“That match no doubt, probably determine the best competitor in this company, what a fight!”, says Joel as Raven leaves the ring and eventually, the Hammerstein Ballroom. Spike begins to stand on his feet, with the help of the referee, and gets a standing ovation from the crowd. Spike lifts his arm up to more cheers from the crowd.
“Now that is respect! Well Joey Styles and Joel Gertner here saying goodbye, and we’ll see you next week!”, says Joey Styles as the show goes off the air.
