Moderators PowerButchi Posted December 2, 2020 Moderators Share Posted December 2, 2020 Sad news. One of the best minds in wrestling. There's a bit of his team with Ray Stevens on YouTube which is top stuff, and who doesn't love the Alley Fight? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awards Moderator HarmonicGenerator Posted December 2, 2020 Awards Moderator Share Posted December 2, 2020 Very sad news. Though we'll never see the much-talked about tournament in Rio de Janeiro, he was the first holder of my favourite wrestling title. He was great fun as a stooge; I very much enjoyed playing as his character in SmackDown 2. And the man came up with the concept for the Royal Rumble, the single match I look forward to most each year, for which I will always be grateful. RIP.

By all accounts Patterson was one of Vince's go-to guys, so why shouldn't he be upset? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must be hard for old Vinny Mac, I'm sure he is aware of his own mortality but when so many people you have been friends with and worked with for the best part of 40 years (probably longer) it must get you thinking when is my time up? I loved Pat as one of the stooges, but more so he was the first intercontinental champion, my favourite championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomJones233 Posted December 2, 2020 Share Posted December 2, 2020 Its hard to gauge in text, so i'm sorry if it came off like that. Vince lost one of his best friends. Who can forget the pool stories Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid Members tiger_rick Posted December 2, 2020 Paid Members Share Posted December 2, 2020 Pretty sad on the face of it. As already mentioned, he's one of the brightest guys in wrestling, his idea of how to tell a story is ingrained in the wrestling most of us grew up with, the Royal Rumble is an incredible legacy. Along with Gerry Brisco, I always found him a hoot on screen. I obviously missed his prime by a long way and I've never really caught up but even in comedy matches and skits long after he always sold his arse off and threw a great punch. It seems everyone in wrestling is a scumbag and Pat has his fair share of rumours and accusations. I'm never sure what's true, what's jealousy and what's related to him being openly gay. I hope none of it is true. He's too much like a friendly uncle and it would be a shame to spoil that impression. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an alley fight, so you dress in civvies and kick seven shades out of each other. Simple. Beautiful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
