The part of it which really got my goat is that the ref had already been telling people at ringside that it was going to be a no contest, which is fair enough. Whilst the TV cameras were following Cintron's stretcher through the backstage area ( in a WWE style ) that's when they decide there actually is a result. No wonder Cintron's pissed off, and Williams has every reason to look sheepish claiming that farce as a win.
