The autobiography for WWE Hall of Famer Pat Patterson will be released by ECW Press on August 9th in hardcover and eBook format. Titled "Accepted: How the First Gay Superstar Changed WWE," the book was written by Patterson and co-authored by Bertrand Hebert. Vince McMahon wrote the foreword.
Below is the cover art and synopsis:
Quote:
When Pat Patterson was 17 years old, his parents threw him out of the house after he told them he was in love . . . with a man. Cast off to the United States from Montreal in the 1960s, barely knowing a word of English, he set about a new life as a wrestler. Long before being gay was routinely accepted, Pat lived in the super-macho world of pro wrestling.
One of the most unlikely stories of a revolutionary talent, pioneer and creative savant, Patterson recalls the trials and tribulations as he climbed to the upper ranks of sports-entertainment as a performer and, later, as a backstage dignitary in this fascinating and revealing memoir. After making his mark in the ring as the prestigious first holder of WWE’s Intercontinental Championship, Pat set out to conquer the WWE world behind the curtain. He became the lead creative force behind the Royal Rumble Match and countless innovations that have shaped the way the WWE Universe has enjoyed sports-entertainment for generations.
Many WWE fans know Pat Patterson as a ring legend, WWE Hall of Famer, and one of Vince McMahon’s "stooges" during the Attitude Era. But Patterson is no stooge. He has long been one of Vince McMahon’s trusted advisors, his impact and importance to the nascent stages of WWE nearly comparable to the Chairman himself. Still active in WWE today, Pat delivers his no-holds barred story from unknown to WWE luminary.

The relationship between WWE and Chyna is a confusing one. She wants to be in the Hall of Fame, but her ex who helps run the company now won’t put her in because she’s done porn (among other, unspoken reasons). She keeps apologizing for leaving the company on bad terms, but nobody seems to hear it.
The latest apology is mature and level-headed, especially in comparison to her previous hits like begging for meetings and showing up at WWE HQ unannounced, allegedly bum-rushing people at funerals, and endorsements from Jennifer Tilly.
An excerpt:
“I don’t want to show up in all of these places with my brothers and sisters that I was in the trenches with and on the road with that I love for a huge part of my life, to see them now and feel awkward because of the repercussions of the battle with the WWE. It’s just something that I’d love to resolve, and I haven’t been able to do that. I can atone and say sorry for the things that I’ve done, and I do feel bad for the things that I’ve done and having said certain things under duress and pain and things that I haven’t resolved. That’s all I want to do.”

Dave Meltzer reported on yesterday's installment of Wrestling Observer Radio that the term “belt” is no longer banned. Stephanie McMahon used the term on Monday’s episode of RAW when the Championship title was on display.
For those unaware, Vince McMahon often bans certain terms that announcers or performers are not allowed to say on the air. Sometimes Vince goes back and forth on certain ideas or terms.

For some reference on how much Vince flip flops on banned words, last week's promo he did on RAW had the word edited out on the Hulu replay of the show.
