A major loss for the @WWE family today. Pat worked alongside my family for years and was always invested in my success.
Brilliant mind for the business and always ready to make a joke ... at your expense!
Rest In Peace, Pat. God bless.

Pat Patterson was more than the first Intercontinental Champion & father of the Royal Rumble Match. He helped lay the foundation for WWE as we know it. His mentorship shaped careers, his creativity sparked innovation and his friendship lifted spirits. Love you, Pat. We miss you. pic.twitter.com/TugpAOrN6O

Dear Pat,

Last time I saw you we were at MSG, you told me that I had found my way, that I’d made it. You told me that BlackJack would be proud if he could see me. I’ll never forget it. Thank you Pat, it meant more than you know. Rest well my friend.

So much to say & so many stories to share about Pat Patterson. For now I’ll just say this, when I got to NXT, NO ONE was a bigger supporter, advocate, or believer in me than Pat Patterson. NO ONE went to bat for me more often than him. I feel lucky to have had him in my life. RIP

One of the smartest men I ever had the pleasure of working with and learning from. And when it came to “finishes” ... a genius.

A gentlemen, a friend, a legend and one hell of a karaoke singer.

GOD BLESS YOU Pat. You will be missed. ????????#WhatAWonderfulWorld #RIPPatPatterson pic.twitter.com/boT0DRNrp0

Pat Patterson was a unique wonderful individual. His passion was inspiring. His favorite “rib” /“joke” with me was; “ Paul, do you know who was asking about you the other day? I would reply who Pat? He would say NOOOBBOOODDDYY! “ I loved his wisdom and treasured our friendship.

No one had more passion for our business or went out of their way to help new talent, myself included, like Pat. Today we lost a legend. You’ll be sorely missed my friend. https://t.co/buOuM62Tkj

Story about #PatPatterson. I pulled up to the arena for RAW and I waited to be carted into the lot. Pat was next to me and said “Goodluck on your tryout match today kid” . I didn’t bother to tell him he’s met me about 5x already. ???? I just said thank you sir. R.I.P ????????
