15 minutes before his first interview and claimed his car had broken down while driving from his home in Scottsdale, Arizona. When Warrior finally checked into the Aladdin Hotel at 6:00 PM, about 12 hours after his scheduled arrival, he put a block on his phone which prevented the promoter or anyone else from contacting him. In a meeting with Martin the next morning, the wrestler asked for the show's sponsorship checks which totaled $6,000 and were made out to "Warrior Promotions". Warrior claimed that he would "cash the checks and settle with the hotel and the athletic commission to show each there were sufficient funds for the return show, and at the show write out his own checks to take care of the boys".

Martin attempted to soldier on after The Warrior's departure from the company. Along with the "Halloween Massacre" supercard, the promoter talked about expanding into California with former WWF promoter Bob Cartago.
