But only Ken Scamrock was able to reach it, because someone has to be a loser, and if Frank's brother is known for anything, its definitely not being a loser.

I think this was a pretty good fight. They worked hard, they wore on each other. Near the end they both got a bit too tired to effectively do anything, but they both kept trying for it, and going for it, and by the end of time, "it" was within their grasp! But only Ken Scamrock was able to reach it, because someone has to be a loser, and if Frank's brother is known for anything, its definitely not being a loser.
