📺 LIVE — WEDNESDAY, SEPT 24 @ 7PM ET on The Playa Entertainment Network

🔥 LIKE & SUBSCRIBE to witness wrestling history UNFOLD!

This week, Nikita Breznikov and Benny "The Playa" Scala take a deep dive into the epic life and legacy of Pierre Clermont, better known to the wrestling world as Pat Patterson — one of the most influential minds in the business!

Before revolutionizing the WWF in 1979, Patterson dominated the territories as a flamboyant, tough-as-nails heel — especially on the West Coast and in San Francisco’s legendary Cow Palace. Under the guidance of The Grand Wizard, he perfected his craft as a top-tier antagonist, engaging in bloody rivalries that left fans in awe for over two decades.

But it was in the WWF where Patterson etched his name in granite — from his unforgettable steel cage war with Bob Backlund, to becoming the first-ever Intercontinental Champion, and eventually moving behind the curtain to help shape the Attitude Era and beyond as Vince McMahon’s most trusted right-hand man.

Also: hear the real story of Patterson’s transition to color commentator, his often-overlooked comedic brilliance on-screen, and why his influence is still felt in every Royal Rumble to this day.

💥 Don’t miss this tribute to a true architect of professional wrestling greatness.
