Earlier on Wednesday, Montreal sports radio host Tony Marinaro wrote on Twitter that Pat Patterson died in a Miami hospital following a battle with cancer.
WWE later confirmed the news, prompting dozens of Superstars to post tributes on social media.
Pat Patterson made his wrestling debut in 1958 in Montreal. He wrestled for various promotions around the world before joining WWE in 1979.
During his first year in WWE, Pat Patterson was crowned the inaugural WWE Intercontinental Champion. Although it was claimed that he won the title in a tournament in Rio de Janeiro, the tournament was fictional and it never really happened.
After announcing his retirement in 1984, Pat Patterson continued to work for WWE in a variety of roles. He performed as a color commentator and also worked as a key member of WWE’s creative team alongside Vince McMahon and Bruce Prichard.
In 2019, he became the oldest person to win a title in WWE when he briefly held the 24/7 Championship at the age of 78.
Everyone at SK Wrestling is thinking of Pat Patterson’s family and friends at this time.
