Former WWE Superstar Jacques Rougeau spoke to SK Wrestling’s Dr. Chris Featherstone on Inside SKoop about Pat Patterson’s WWE career. He made it clear that the first WWE Intercontinental Champion had a great position within the company. However, his role also had plenty of negatives.
Pat Patterson’s WWE role
Jacques Rougeau (aka The Mountie) won the WWE Intercontinental Championship from Bret Hart in January 1992. He held the title for two days before losing it to Roddy Piper at the Royal Rumble.
Highlighting the positive side of Pat Patterson’s job, Rougeau revealed that Vince McMahon’s right-hand man informed him of his title victory.
Rougeau added that Pat Patterson also had the difficult task of telling Superstars about creative changes that they did not like. One example came at WrestleMania 10 when Rougeau and Pierre Carl Ouellet had been told they were going to defeat Men on a Mission. Shortly before the show, Pat Patterson told them that Vince McMahon had changed the finish.
On that particular occasion, Rougeau felt so strongly about the match finish that he decided to quit WWE after the event.
