"We get in the ring and Jim and I kinda talking. We hear the crowd go, 'Here they come.' All of a sudden, Jim gets hit with a cowbell, I get hit with a chain, out of the ring we go. They run us through the crowd of people, hit us with the fire extinguisher, we both get cut before we get the match going. There’s no rules over there." (From 13:39 - 14:03)
Corey Graves deleted his Tweet! More details HERE.
He detailed that Brody held him in the ring while Stan planted him with one of his vicious lariats that left him unconscious.
"We get up in the ring now and wrestle them for about 37 minutes. Finally, Jim had tagged me. Somehow Brody had Jim, and Jim had tagged me. I came off the top rope with an elbow knocked Brody to his knees. While I did, I see Brunzell get fired out over the top rope by Hansen. Brody from his knees bear hugs me and traps my arms. I look up and here comes Hansen with the lariat and that’s the last thing I remember." (From 14:22 - 14:57)
