Andy Kaufman is backstage talking with the Powers of Fear.
The three men just snarl as Kaufman walks away. However, he then runs right into Kerry Von Erich.
KVE: What the hell did you do with Davey Boy?
AK: I have no idea what you’re talking about.
KVE: I think you do. His work visa got rejected out of nowhere and he had to return to Canada, where he holds dual citizenship with England.
AK: Sucks to be the Ultimate Blade Runners, I guess. All that means is that at Holiday Havoc, you will need to find another partner for your six-man tag match against SCU or Sting will be doing double duty. Good day sir.
Kaufman tries to leave, but Kerry gets in his way.
KVE: This isn’t over. We’re going to…
AK: I said good day sir!
Kaufman stalks off.

Andy Kaufman is backstage talking with the Powers of Fear.
AK: I can’t believe you three miserable losers lost the six-man tag team titles last week. This is your last chance. If the Warlord doesn’t win tonight. All three of you are gone. Because when you look bad, you just don’t look bad, I look bad. And when I look bad, I’m not happy. And when I’m not happy, nobody is happy.
