Armando Alejandro Estrada used the cigars in the ring when he made it a point to insult Ric Flair in the ring. Estrada downgraded Ric Flair and announced that Armando Alejandro Estrada would in fact; replace him as the hero of the American public. Of course, the crowd and Ric Flair took exception to this, and by the end of the evening, Estrada and Umaga had managed to beat Ric Flair to a pulp.

The crowd reacted to the onslaught by chanting his name, and toward the end of the fight, Armando Alejandro Estrada removed a cigar from his pocket and snapped it in two.
