AEW veteran Jake Roberts on burying the hatchet with The Ultimate Warrior
Jake Roberts and The Ultimate Warrior had a program in 1991 and although it did not reach its full potential, with Warrior being released by the Stamford-based promotion in 1992 due to the use of steroids. Jake Roberts has been vocal about how he did not like The Ultimate Warrior costing him a lot of money due to the latter's mistake.
In a recent chat on Jonah of Rewind Recap Relive, The AEW veteran said that he was looking for a fight against The Ultimate Warrior at the 2014 Hall of Fame ceremony. Curiously enough Warrior took this opportunity to apologize to him for his past actions and the two finally managed to sort their differences after a long time.
"Felt really good, man [to bury hatchet with Ultimate Warrior at 2014 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony]. Felt really good. I didn’t see that coming. I went there with all intentions of having a fight, and I was looking for him at the time. Then he tapped me on my back, I turned around, he started apologizing, and he’s saying how bad he felt about what he’d done and knew that it cost me millions. Cost me a lot of money, man...It was just so sad, you know, what happened the next day. Yeah, it was really sad. For his children to be there seeing that, just horrifying… It was bad," he said.
