 Valentine won the match, sending Garvin into retirement.In retirement, Garvin took up other positions in the WWF; first he became a referee but he was suspended after disqualifying Valentine in a match against Jimmy Snuka, and later a ring announcer at SummerSlam 1989, a position he used to berate and belittle his erstwhile rival.Valentine was so irate that he demanded for Garvin to be re-instated as a professional wrestler and his request was accepted.
