The Rock took to Instagram this past week, reacting to the passing of WWE legend Pat Patterson. In the video, which you can see below, The Rock reveals the impact Patterson had on his career. He said,
Been reconciling his death for a few weeks now 💔
This past January my father dies unexpectedly and a few weeks ago my father figure dies unexpectedly too.
F’n 2020.
We all have those defining moments and people in our lives where when we look back and connect all the dots….
that decision or that person was the anchoring factor that set us on that path to where we are today.
Pat Patterson was that person to me.
This toast is for you Pat..
I love you. I thank you.
Now let’s hear, MY WAY one more time.. 🎤🥃
* post script *
At the end of this video when Pat is singing MY WAY to all our beloved wrestling legends – many of whom are now in heaven raising hell 😈😇That visual kicked me in the gut.
Very emotional.
As if Pats up there in heaven singing to all of them right now.
My dad included.
See you boys down the road
