Pain was the only sense giving Salem any stimulation at this moment, not even responding to the foreboding threat Killman issued before he raised his bottle high. It didn't matter, however, as the world champion would soon get the point when the glass was busted over the back of his skull, christening the first successful defense "The Copperhead" had pulled off in his world title reign. Going limp from the impact, sweat and bourbon soaked Salem's skin and hair, which slowly mingled with a trace of blood that stuck to some chips of broken glass along the champ's scalp. His hand lay lifeless atop the world title, an overwhelming chorus of boos thundering from the nearby arena from the other side of the curtain.
