What happened after RAW went off the air?, WWE legend honoured

Pat Patterson Appreciation night on RAW!

- After RAW went off the air last night in Montreal, WWE celebrated Pat Patterson Appreciation night. The event was scheduled a couple of years ago, but when Jerry Lawler had a heart attack Live on television, the event was nixed.

Once RAW went off the air, Vince McMahon made his way to the ring and gave a speech about Pat Patterson. The Chairman of the WWE spoke very fondly about what Patterson meant for the family over the years, and introduced Patterson to a great ovation from the Montreal crowd. After embracing Vince, Patterson went on to thank the WWE Universe. 

Bret Hart came out next and offered high praise for the first Intercontinental champion in WWE history and even presented Patterson with a custom Montreal Canadiens jersey. Triple H was out next, who brought in the entire WWE roster to honour Patterson. Below are photos from the event:
