McMahon wanted Savage to jump immediately, while still champion, but Randy refused adhering to the "time-honored tradition" we've heard so much about since the Montreal Screwjob. So, Savage gave his two weeks' notice-Jerry Jarrett urged Macho to take the deal because there was no way he could pay him more-and did a couple of LLT bouts with the King, dropping the belt on the way out. I believe Randy's last bout in the territory was later than week, losing clean in the middle to Tojo Yamamoto.
Randy had enough integrity to put Lawler over rather than vacate the title when NY called. He was barely making any money and arrived in NY broke but he did the job for Lawler.
Randy Savage jumped to the WWF immediately following this one.

Jerry Lawler and Randy Savage. 2 of the best to ever play the game. RIP Macho Man.
