Jake Roberts reveals the moment his opinion on Ultimate Warrior changed
“I had a roll of quarters in my pocket and I was going to beat his a**. And I’m waiting on him, looking for him, of course, Warrior being Warrior they had him in a private area and security guards and all that. I had to wait and I had to wait and I had to wait and I’m boiling, I’m boiling, I’m boiling. And then all of a sudden, somebody tapped me on the back. Turned around and it was Warrior.
“He put his hands up and said ‘Please, just let me do this. I need to apologise to you and your family. That’s who I was then but that wasn’t me. But if it means anything, just know that I’m sorry.’ He disarmed me. Another lesson in life man, that’s what I got. A lesson.”
Both of these legends were inducted into the Hall of Fame on April 5. His final WWE appearance was on April 7 where he gave an impassioned speech to his fans. He passed away the very next day due to a heart attack.
