The confusion with that finish is that Cro Cop posted while standing up and with Barnett trying to keep him on the ground, but when he posted his hand, instead of landing on the mat, he landed on Barnett's face and his finger went into Barnett's eye. (In Barnett's words, it was hard enough trying to stop Cro Cop when he could see, he didn't want to have to fend off kicks blind

) It would've been better if Cro Cop could've gotten a "clean" finish to cap off his OWGP run, but he had Barnett on the ropes in the first 10 seconds. Nothing and nobody was stopping him that night. I remember being surprised, though, that Cro Cop bothered following Barnett to the ground. It's one thing to go down into Wanderlei's guard, but Barnett was so slick on the ground, I'm surprised Cro Cop didn't just start soccer kicking him once he dropped him with that body shot and then let him stand up again if he managed to defend and recover.
