Jake Roberts recalled what happened backstage during the 2014 Hall of Fame ceremony. The Ultimate Warrior was heavily guarded, and Roberts waited for the perfect opportunity to make his move.

Warrior's apology "disarmed" Roberts, and the whole interaction turned out to be a lesson for the current AEW personality.
"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 apologize 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," said Jake Roberts. H/t: ITRWrestling
