RAW News: Off-Air Tribute To Pat Patterson After PPV

Archive

– Taboo Tuesday went off the air with Ric Flair and Randy Orton staring each other down, then shaking hands and hugging. After the show went off the air, the steel cage was raised, Flair returned to the back, Orton posed, and then Vince came down applauding Randy.

– With Orton in the back, McMahon thanked the crowd, and then thanked Pat Patterson, introducing him for one last time. Vince told the fans that tonight was Pat’s last night with WWE, he gave his life to wrestling, put up with a lot of bullshit, and thanked him.

– Patterson thanked everyone, and Vince then made him sing “My Way” – the Frank Sinatra song that Patterson is known for singing at karaoke bars. Shane and Stephanie McMahon came out and held the ropes for Pat, who left to “My Way” playing as he strolled back to the locker room.
