Marcus would then go on to fued with Matt Zeppilin, after cutting a promo about the former World Champion saying that he was useless in the company and needs to know when to pass the torch. Marcus King got the chance to face off against Matt Zeppilin and won again. Matt Zeppilin then brought in his Alter-Ego known as "WS Guru", and he would go onto to challenge Marcus in a No DQ rules match at 'Survival', however General Manager Rodney Storm disagreed with the proposal and suggested the two men featured in an 8 Man Tournament to determine the new WWH Intercontinental Championship. Marcus defeated WS Guru, after cheating and then would defeat Dragon Dashing Rhodes in the Semi-Final which lead to the finals, where Marcus King defeated Steven E. Marcus's championship reign would be cut short however, as WWH folded in after Rodney Storm had no time to run the company.

Marcus would then face FAKE SNAKE also known as Ted Anderson from Sudden Impact Wrestling, and the match would result in No Contest once again and this is because of the referee not turning up.
