Product Information
"Pat is one of the greatest mentors I've ever had in the world of sports-entertainment." -- Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson Find the never-before-seen official documentary on Pat Patterson titled "I Did It My Way: The Pat Patterson Story" on YouTube When Pat Patterson was 17 years old, he was asked to leave his home after telling his parents he was in love . . . with a man. Moving from Montreal to the United States in the 1960s, barely knowing a word of English, he was determined to succeed in the squared circle. Back when homophobia was widespread, Pat lived in the super-macho world of pro wrestling. In this fascinating and revealing memoir of revolutionary talent, pioneer, and creative savant Patterson recalls the trials and tribulations of climbing to the upper ranks of sports-entertainment -- as a performer and, later, as a backstage creative force. Many in the WWE Universe know Pat Patterson as a ring legend, the prestigious first holder of WWE's Intercontinental Championship, a WWE Hall of Famer, and one of Vince McMahon's "stooges" during the Attitude Era. But Patterson is no stooge. He has long been one of Vince McMahon's trusted advisors.

"Pat is one of the greatest mentors I've ever had in the world of sports-entertainment. He has been instrumental in some of the greatest story lines and matches in my entire career, and I am forever grateful for his guidance and knowledge." -- Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, "Pat is one of the greatest mentors I've ever had in the world of sports-entertainment. He has been instrumental in some of the greatest story lines and matches in my entire career, and I am forever grateful for his guidance and knowledge." -- Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson "Pat Patterson is considered a genius in our business -- his wisdom and dedication are simply unmatched. Like so many WWE Superstars, I'm lucky to have learned from him and my career wouldn't have been the same without him. Pat has played an integral part in my professional and personal life and I'm proud to say that he'll always be a close friend and confidant." -- Paul "Triple H" Levesque "Pat Patterson is a wrestling Jedi. He's the Yoda of WWE. He taught me 90% of what I know about how to put together a match. I had no idea how little I really knew about the psychology of the business until I met him." -- Chris Jericho "Pat is one of the greatest minds to ever have anything to do with wrestling." -- Bret "Hit Man" Hart "A moving story about staying true to one's dreams, ambitions, and identity - even in the face of improbable odds. Pat Patterson shares a stirring portrait of his rise to wrestling icon and trailblazer for LGBT athletes everywhere. Accepted is yet another display of strength and courage in Patterson's storied career as one of the world's most well-known wrestlers." -- Sarah Kate Ellis, President/CEO, GLAAD, "Pat is one of the greatest mentors I've ever had in the world of sports-entertainment.

Accepted is yet another display of strength and courage in Patterson's storied career as one of the world's most well-known wrestlers." -- Sarah Kate Ellis, President/CEO, GLAAD, "That story line is surprisingly wistful, tender, and accessible to all readers . . . Patterson is a very good storyteller, and his tales from the road about well-known personalities such as the fun-seeking Andre the Giant and the forever-young-at-heart Ray Stevens are wonderfully told, and many of the wrestlers' time-killing pranks are laugh-out-loud funny." -- Publishers Weekly "Fans of professional wrestling and those interested in LGBTQ rights from the 1960s to the present will find much to enjoy in this book from the first WWE intercontinental champion." -- Library Journal "The main event in wrestling books this season." -- Quill & Quire "Pat is one of the greatest mentors I've ever had in the world of sports-entertainment.

Not merely a love story between Pat and his long-time companion Louis Dondero, but a love story between Pat and the wrestling business . . . Pat Patterson is simply one of the greatest of all time, and this book is a gateway into his amazing world." -- Slam Wrestling "Pat Patterson is an icon and a true @WWE legend.
