4. Randy Savage Interview: Vince McMahon conducted a in-ring interview with Randy Savage, who could hardly stand still and was pacing in the ring throughout the segment. Savage told McMahon that Razor Ramon has gotten his attention and isn’t going to sit back and allow Ramon to just do what he pleases. Savage has been in this business for far too long to allow a rookie to upstage him and try to take his spot. Savage knows that Ramon isn’t at the venue tonight, but Savage issues a challenge to Ramon to be a man and compete against Savage not in a wrestling match but a fight! “Be a man Ramon and fight the Macho Man!”

Heenan tells McMahon that Perfect has never been a World Champion and he never will be after losing to Ric Flair last month. Heenan points out that Lex Luger has been a World Champion and was a dominating one at that. Luger came to the WWF for the best competition and knows that he can beat everyone in the WWF. Luger chimes in and tells McMahon that there is one goal on his mind and that is to win the WWF World Championship.
