Winner: Kurt Angle

Anderson calls down the mic after the match. Anderson says people are fake. He says Angle isn't an American hero, and he probably isn't even really a gold medalist. He's most certainly not a real American. Anderson says he tries to have a straight up match, and Angle had to resort to cheap tactics to get the victory, and now everyone thinks Angle will go home and rest easy. Anderson and Angle both know that the only thing Angle will do tonight is lay in bed with his eyes open staring at the ceiling, and the word Anderson will continue to go through his head. Anderson repeats his names several times with an extreme close up on his face, and he and Angle stare each other down.
