In the back, LCW Heritage Champion Tully Blanchard and Baby Doll approached LCW Commissioner Nick Bockwinkel and demanded a match with Superfly Jimmy Snuka. Bockwinkel said he wasn't very receptive to demands. LCW Chairman of the Board Christian Calaway, in his wheelchair, rolled up next to them and told Bockwinkel that Blanchard could have whatever he wanted and if he wanted a match against Superfly Jimmy Snuka he could have it at LCW Torment this Sunday. Blanchard thanked Calaway and Baby Doll leaned down and kissed Calaway on the cheek.

LCW United States Champion Brutus Beefcake defeated The Iron Sheik (with Sheik Adnan Al-Kassie) in 5:54 by disqualification after Gorgeous Jimmy Garvin interfered and attacked Beefcake and held him while Precious cut off some of his hair with his own scissors.

In the back, Gorgeous Jimmy Garvin and Precious laughed as Garvin waved around the hair he had just cut from Brutus Beefcake's head. LCW Commissioner Nick Bockwinkel approached them and said he hoped they were having fun now because this Sunday at LCW Torment, LCW United States Champion Brutus Beefcake was going to defend his title against Gorgeous Jimmy Garvin. At first, Garvin seemed pleased that his actions were getting him a title shot. Bockwinkel said, "But Garvin, you didn't let me finish. You're getting a title shot, but the match is going to be a hair vs. hair match." Garvin's face immediately went from happiness to shock as Bockwinkel walked away.

The Dynamite Kid, with the LCW International Championship he stole from Magnum TA, defeated Corporal Kirchner in 5:16 by pinfall after the flying headbutt. After the match, Magnum TA came out with a steel chair and cleared Dynamite Kid out of the ring. Magnum grabbed a microphone and said, "Dynamite, don't worry. You don't need to run away like the coward you are. I'm not going to beat you down like I did last week. I'm not going to beat you down like I'm going to this Sunday at LCW Torment. Speaking of Torment, you have something I want so why don't we make our match at Torment a little more interesting. You have my title, I want my title back, and I'm going to get my title back…" Magnum then went outside the ring and pulled a ladder out from under the ring, "…in a ladder match!" Magnum setup the ladder in the middle of the ring and said, "This Sunday night, at LCW Torment, you're going to surrender that title to the referee, it's going to be put on a harness over the ring and suspended above the ring. Then, after kicking in your face just like you did mine, I'm going to setup this ladder in the center of the ring, climb the ladder and take back what's mine, the LCW United States Championship. Enjoy it while you still have it, polish it up, and kiss it goodbye because this Sunday at LCW Torment, it's going to be mine again."

The trailer for "The Condemned" aired. After the trailer, Nikita Koloff rolled LCW Chairman of the Board Christian Calaway onto the entrance stage and Calaway said, "I swear to God, if I have to see that damned trailer one more time, I'm literally going to have to kill someone. Who the hell said anyone could air that garbage anyway? Stone Cold Steve Austin is never going to be a movie star. Look at him. He dresses like white trash just like all these hicks in Raleigh. He even talks like the uneducated pieces of garbage here in Raleigh. I don't want to see that trailer ever again in Legends Championship Wrestling just like you people are never going to see Stone Cold Steve Austin in Legends Championship Wrestling again."

I'm not going to be reactive, I'm going to be proactive. Gang, Bundy, let's go. We need to take care of this now. I'm not waiting until Torment this Sunday. We're going to take care of this problem now. Heenan threw down his headset and left the broadcast booth with One Man Gang and King Kong Bundy."
