It is a dark day in the WWE as Pat Patterson, longtime employee and former wrestler passed away today at the age of 78. From Quebec, Patterson first wrestled in 1958, and rose up the ranks, moving from promotion to promotion, winning many regional titles. Hid best early work was considered to be his tag team with Ray Stevens as the Blonde Bombers. Based out of San Francisco, many modern tag team wrestlers cite the Bombers as one of the most influential tag teams of the 1970s.

The Dolphins went to Super Bowl VI, losing to Dallas, but they…

In an interview this past weekend with WFAN in New York City, Franco was asked about his Cooperstown omission and had quite a bit to say on the topic: “I’m still trying to figure it out myself, too. It is what it is. Writers at the time … guess they felt the save statistic wasn’t that important.
