The term legend is often thrown around but in the case of Pat Patterson the moniker couldn’t be more fitting. After setting the west coast on fire for more than a decade on top in singles and as a member of the famed Blonde Bombers tag team with Ray “Crippler” Stevens, Pat made the trip back east to New York to headline MSG against World Champion Bob Backlund and become the first-ever WWF Intercontinental Champion. In the 1980s, Pat would transition from an in-ring competitor to a jack of all trades behind the scenes, even creating the Royal Rumble match! No matter how you remember him, Pat did things… his way. RIP Pat!
