* Mr. Horvath chose to pin his opponent in 58 seconds.  Usually that gives the photographer enough time to get a couple of decent photographs.  However, the action of the match took place on the opposite side of the mat from where the editor was taking photographs and an official was in between the match and the camera at all times.  However, the editor did get some photographs of Mr. Horvath's Semifinals match, which are below:
