WWE hosted Pat Patterson appreciation night after Raw finished broadcasting on Monday. The show was coming from Montreal, Quebec, Canada, the area that Patterson starred in for so long. He's a native of the city and still held in high regard by the locals. The appreciation night was originally scheduled for a 2012 Raw, but it ended up cancelled when Jerry Lawler suffered a heart attack on the same night. This week, WWE finally got around to doing the tribute. Vince McMahon came out and cut a speech about his close confidant. Patterson was then introduced and the two good friends hugged. Patterson then delivered a speech on what the WWE has meant to him. Next up was Bret Hart. He put Patterson over further and gave him a custom Montreal sports jersey. Hart of course is also legendary in this area, as the Montreal Screwjob made him and the city infamous. Triple H then closed proceedings by bringing out the entire WWE roster to pay tribute to Patterson. There's no doubt that Pat deserved this. He's been with the WWE consistently from the early 1980's, helping Vince out with creative and aiding the wrestlers in putting together matches.
