McMahon made what was obviously a heartfelt short tribute to Savage thanking him for his years in the WWF.

As Kid responded, Backlund ran to the ring. Kid turned around in time and threw a few kicks, sending Backlund flying from the ring. Bret Hart then came to the ring to side with Kid. Jim Neidhart and Owen Hart came to ringside for Backlund&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>-Doink won a squash. After the match, McMahon handed Lawler&#8217;s crown to Doink who wore it.
