While word has made rounds in many circles that Brian Gerwitz has been creatively involved in The Rock’s latest return to WWE, we’re told he’s not the only guy Rock wants to see have a larger role in the company.

The Rock has been urging Vince McMahon and Triple H to get Pat Patterson more involved in the planning of longterm booking in WWE. It’s been many years since Patterson has had influence on a regular basis and usually gets more involved around Royal Rumble time and is quickly forgotten until the next year. The Rock wants Patterson to have more influence year round.

Although convincing Vince and Hunter isn’t the only obstacle, as we’re told he would actually have to convince Patterson to take the increased responsibilities. A large part of phasing out Patterson has been of his own doing as he has desired to spend more time enjoying life outside of wrestling.

The Rock surprised Patterson at his birthday dinner (he turned 72) on Saturday night in South Florida. We’re told Rock again mentioned to Patterson he should consider being more involved with WWE.

The Rock has had a good relationship with Pat since he was very young child as I remember him speak about it in his memoir when i was a kid. I think Pat and Rocky Johnson were tag team champions at one point in time during the 70's if i'm not mistaken. he's actually one of the guys who helped Rock train and got him his first tryout matches in WWF back in 96'... Loyalty knows no limits :rockylaugh:

I told ya'll this, but I met Pat Patterson during WM28 weekend and he went in depth about how close he was with The Rock. I'm talkin about he used to change his diapers and babysit. That dude is like extended family to The Rock.

any examples of angles he's been heavily involved in creatively?

I've always admired his selfless approach to putting new talent over.

Dude created the Royal Rumble IIRC but every HOF/Legend comes in and wants to make changes, creatively or see some people get pushed. Vince usually entertains them while they're there but then it's usually back to the basics. And Pat wanted to take a step back so :ld: But it's interesting that he always gets more involved this time of year, when the RTWM has all of the best angles but that could also be because that's when the brass makes creative earn their paychecks

Rock wants Patterson back so he can give him head before he goes out there to do promos :wrist:
