Suddenly, Macho Man Randy Savage appeared and brawled with Garvin, quickly gaining the upper hand and throwing him into the interview set, knocking it down. Savage kicked Garvin in the head a few times and then turned to the camera and said, “Magnum TA, this guy (pointing down to Ron Garvin) doesn’t matter to the Macho Man. You think Cowboy Bill Watts put the target on your back when he paid me to take you out? The target was put on your back the minute that title was put around your waist, but that title should be mine right now. I was the first LCW Universal Champion and don’t think that I haven’t been thirsting to get the title back around my waist, where it belongs, ever since. I’ve been distracted by this guy (pointing to Garvin and kicking him in the head again to keep him down) for too long, I’ve gotten to involved in my brother’s business, but I’m back and I’m more focused than ever. Trust the Macho Man, believe the Macho Man, have faith in the Macho Man’s words when he says to you Magnum TA that you will not be walking out of LCW Endgame the LCW Universal Champion. You don’t get taken out by the Macho Man and then get up like nothing happened. But you haven’t even been taken out by the Macho Man yet. Don’t worry Watts, you’ll get your money’s worth. And to the man who does win the title, I want you to know that you can thank the Macho Man with a title shot. And if you don’t want to give me a title shot, just know that the target on Magnum’s back it isn’t permanent, it’s just temporary and it can easily be transitioned to another champion just like the title’s going to be transitioned back to the Macho Man…ohhhhh yeah!”
