And that's the end of the fight!
Shawn Michaels comfortably won the final round on my scorecard.
I've got Michaels winning every round here. Surely the decision will go his way and he'll pick up a well deserved decision victory. Over to the ring announcer for the scorecards.

Shawn Michaels gave a mention to ANABOLIC **160** LAUNDRY in his post fight interview. That will please them (and hopefully generate some sales).
