"MY WAY: The Life and Legacy of Pat Patterson"

He was a semi-openly gay man within professional wrestling. Publicly, he was secretive about his sexuality. He had a poor, sad, lonely upbringing until he was more successful his father accepted him more. But he didn't have much support from his family when he came out to them as a teenager in the late 50s. Had to leave home at 16.

He's been the subject of rumors and erroneous stories because of homophobia in wrestling and in society.

He was a talent and a genius for wrestling and helped so many wrestlers over 45-50 years throughout the 80s, 90s, 2000s, and 2010s all the way until his death in 2020. He was like 'required reading' for anyone dreaming to wrestle, he put on shows and matches that today are still unbelievable.

I think he's a good man. He's a hero.

"The Gurdjieff work is giving up one's fantasies, it's converting one's energies into something higher. It means to awaken to your own inner experience. It means to discover one's relationship to everything, to be present, to be there. It means that the center of gravity is within yourself."

I only remember him from wrestling.

Repossessed (1990)

A parody of The Exorcist that presents itself almost as its sequel. When a woman who had been exorcised as a child becomes repossessed a pair of bumbling priests are recruited to save her soul once again.

The final battle between good and evil is commentated on in the style of a pro wrestling match by a pair of WWE Hall Of Famers "Mean" Gene Okerlund and Jesse "The Body" Ventura .

Featured Wrestlers:

Jesse Ventura as himself

Gene Okerlund as himself

Wrestle Rating:

3.5 out of 5 guitar playing popes

A surreal spoof starring genre legends Lesley Neilsen (comedy) and Linda Blair (horror). The addition of the then WWF personalities is a good inclusion to the movie and they do not feel out of place in the slightest.
