Your winner, Sting!
I actually enjoyed the hell out of this match. It was a fun brawl and while the means to winning the match were silly when you think about it, there was a lot of good work here from both Abyss and Sting. I'd even say this was Sting's best TNA match to date.
Sting attacked Mitchell and security kept trying to restrain him as Abyss helplessly reached towards Mitchell.
