Patterson is widely regarded as one of the most creative minds the professional wrestling business has ever known.

He was also the innovator of the Royal Rumble, a reverse battle royal where participants enter the match every 60-120 seconds. Since its first airing as a network TV special in 1988, the event has become one of the staples of WWE’s pay-per-view output.
