"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.

Round 2 Of Artists Claims For The Regular WIPBB Are Open! Round 2 lasts until July 31st! You may claim 3 fics this round!

This is one of the fics open for claiming...

New Japan Pro-Wrestling #084 Title: so I'm pleading (please forgive me) Pairing/Characters: Hideo Itami | KENTA/Shibata Katsuyori Rating: Explicit | E Warnings/Tags: No Warnings apply Summary: Kenta pulled the leash tighter. They were walking through a more crowded area, and he didn’t want Princess to get trampled. He could hear Shibata’s thoughts in his mind, mundane things about cleaning up the apartment and if he should start dinner. He smiled. He knew that them, essentially, living together for the next few months would be interesting, but he didn’t realize the other man was so nervous.

“It’s the first time we’ve actually lived together, you idiot.” Shibata’s voice cut through Kenta’s thoughts. The man had a point.

The list of remaining fics and the link to sign up are below!

if you asked me 20 years ago who I thought on the current indie scene would still be active and wrestling consistently in 2024 necro butcher and pondo would've been low on the list but here we are.
