However, he also points out that he had 500 pounds of wrestlers on top of him, plus two referees and Jim Cornette working against him, and that they still couldn't beat the "instant classic." Christian says since there is a dispute with the match, the title should stay with the champion and go back to him. Christian said he was coming to the ring to take his belt back. Jim Cornette came out and said that there was a lot of controversy at Sacrifice, but one thing that isn't disputed is that Christian was flat on his back, and he is not the champion. Cornette said that the TNA belt represented the best in the world, and that it wasn't Christian's belt, Sting's belt or Kurt Angle's belt. Cornette pointed out that Sting tapped out, and that Angle was awarded the belt by a referee that wasn't the assigned official for the match. Cornette wondered if that was the best he could get out of the three of them.
