After beginning his career back in 1958, Pat Patterson had definitively retired from in-ring competition when he was unveiled as a backstage producer for WWE back in 2005.

Despite being mostly seen as a backstage addition to the show, Patterson was included in several segments throughout his time in WWE and was close with several WWE Superstars.

Pat Patterson was even able to make history back in 2019 when he became the oldest champion in WWE history. As part of the RAW Reunion show in July 2019, the 78-year-old star pinned Drake Maverick to become the oldest champion in history, winning the 24/7 Championship.

He lost the championship to Gerald Briscoe later the same night, but his reign was able to overtake fellow WWE Hall of Famer The Fabulous Moolah, who won the Women's Championship at the tender age of 76.

This is another addition to the former champion's list of accomplishments both inside and outside of the ring that will ensure that Pat Patterson is a name that will forever be remembered in wrestling history.
