Your eyes are not deceiving you.

None other than Chris Benoit, who wrestled on the trip as Wild Pegasus, warned Scorpio that he'd never be allowed to leave North Korea if he killed Hawk. The grimness of that is just...incredible considering Benoit's future and everything else that was going on during the excursion.

Finally, Scorp and Hawk's saga came to an end when they squashed their heat in an elevator on the final day of the tour. Hawk apologised to his peer and said he was only cranky because he had no pills with him on the trip. Scorpio accepted that, but said they could finish things when they got back to Tokyo if need be.

That didn't happen either, which Eric Bischoff must be glad about. The last thing he needed was a bloody murder plot on an already-controversial jaunt over to North Korea. His bosses at Turner towers would've had a field day with that one.
