   Afterward, the arena went dark and a long video aired on the screen showing various Presidents giving media interviews including Richard Nixon. The video concluded with the words "Nixon" and the numbers "7112". When the arena lights came on several men entered the ring wearing Nixon masks and proceeded to beat down Donst.
   
   Several members of the AIW lockerroom came to ringside only to be ambushed themselves. Eventually the four “Nixons” removed their masks and revealed themselves to be Chris Dickinson, Eric Ryan, Bobby Beverly and Rickey Shane Page. During the melee, the stage set was knocked down, chairs and garbage cans thrown into the crowd and several merchandise tables were overturned.
   
   The show ended with the AIW locker room in the ring and Tim Donst thanked the crowd for being a part of his family and challenging the "four Nixons."
