Martigan seethed over the crowd's reaction. Though known as tough and, as his nickname suggested, savage - and even a bit of a dirty fighter at times - he had always held at least the respect of the crowd for his dominant determination. Seeking to get even, he kneeled down and roughly stripped Vivianna's scanty loincloth from her, exposing her womanhood. As the crowd cheered him on and whistled lustily, he hung the trophy of his triumph from his sword and pumped his fist, calling out to the mob that he "claimed it as his token from his maiden fair," as Vivi the Beguiler reached up for it, flush with embarrassment. The crowd did laugh now, amused by the pair's antics. Though the match itself was short, the booker had to mark it as one of the more successful opening matches in recent years in getting both contestants 'over' with the audience.
