Finally, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson shared this lengthy statement after hearing about the passing of the first WWE Intercontinental Champion.
“Rest in love, Pat. You’ll be missed [broken heart emoji] Rough phone calls to get this morning to tell me, our dear family member, Pat Patterson who was my pro wrestling mentor and father figure has passed away. A @wwe hall of famer, TRUE trailblazer and one of the most brilliantly creative wrestling minds the industry has ever known. He was also responsible for calling Vince McMahon when I was training to become a pro wrestler (my $7 bucks days) and said, ‘Vince you gotta see this kid work in the ring’. Vince flew me to RAW a few weeks later and I had my first match EVER in Corpus Christie, Texas. The rest is history and years later, here I am writing this post. * cue Sinatra’s MY WAY (Pat’s favorite to sing): …I’ve lived a life that’s full / I traveled each and every highway / But more, much more than this / I did it my way… Love you, Pat. And THANK YOU. I’ll see you down the road."
