Wow. I'm a wrestling fan from the Bob Backlund era. This is the second one time hearing that Pat was shady. First time it was about casting couch activity towards guys trying to get into the industry.
But people are saying that he was involved with molesting kids? Was he prosecuted/jailed?

I was gonna come here, say RIP, and post a spoilered vid of Ivan Volkoff smacking fire out of him during an interview.

Wasn't expecting to read this stuff.

Created some dope matches and concepts but he was a known sexual predator.

Man, we've had so many deaths the last few years I thought Patterson was already gone.


An incredible wrestling mind and as with most of the people within the biz during his time, seems dude was scum as a human being.


A WWWF Classic :wow:


If he has to be maligned, then what should be thought of in accordance to Vince McMahon? His stereotypes of blacks, making it a weekly sermon that his tall white boys are somehow better than Shelton Benjamin or a Ricochet or Cedric...Alexa Bliss given tons more screen time than Naomi...this lie that Charlotte is special..lol.

Not to mention how he treated Savage before his death, Sting, Bret Hart, etc.

He was involved in the ring boy scandal of the 80s where some WWF employees would go to orphanages & other places with boys from broken homes and offer them jobs working with the WWF. After they got them working for the company as ring boys they would sexually abuse them.

The abusers were never criminally convicted, but the WWF reached financial settlements with some of the accusers. Patterson, Mel Phillips, and Terry Garvin were all fired as a result of the scandal. But Pat got rehired after the heat died down.
