Jacques Rougeau on Pat Patterson’s reputation
Pat Patterson passed away at the age of 79 last week. During a discussion about his legacy in the wrestling business, Dr. Chris Featherstone asked if Patterson had heat due to his French-Canadian roots. Rougeau, who is also French-Canadian, began by remembering that he personally experienced heat because of his background.
Rougeau said the situation reminded him of when he traveled on a bus in Mexico in 1978. He could not understand what the Mexicans were saying, so he assumed they were laughing and talking about him.
Regarding Pat Patterson having heat, Rougeau made it clear that nobody had a bad word to say about Vince McMahon’s right-hand man.
Pat Patterson made his wrestling debut in 1958 and went on to join WWE in 1979. Rougeau said he is glad that WWE Chairman Vince McMahon is giving Patterson the credit he deserves following his death.
Rougeau said on another edition of Inside SKoop that Pat Patterson’s position in WWE was not as easy as some might think. For example, Patterson sometimes had the responsibility of delivering bad news to Superstars when certain creative decisions had been changed.
