@megamanmaniac Yes they feuded over Ken's IC Title in the Summer of 1980 leading to the Showdown @ Shea. Patera lost the IC Belt to Pedro Morales in November 80
@BrickhouseB2 True-Backlund gave the worst interviews ever, so bad that lots of people went nuts with disgustful rage, of course watching him in the ring was another story-one incident I recall was when he was in a title defense fight at the Garden against big Don Muraco-we were shocked to see Backlund violently slap him like an abusive husband. Later on Moroco was hurting bad and laying in the fetal position, Backlund forced an open hand under him and lifted him onto the turnbuckle with one arm
Old school wrasslin days you could get away with saying anything! I think its safe to say a brother like New Jack wouldn't have taken too kindly to the words from Patera. I don't think Patera had anything to worry about talking to Tony Atlas that way.
Poor Patera, broke and almost diasabled now. Wasn't smart enough to know how to get along with his boss. He could have a job in corporate like so many others, just a knucklhead.......
As life goes on that is likely to happen to all of us,poor health and that is why we need to look to Jesus for our strength and more important our salvation.thnks
Wish we would have more promos like that in wrestling
Sooooooooooooo awesome!
Who said Patera does bad promo's? This is Bad ass!
I was around watching this back in the day and in hindsight it's amazing how they got away with promo's like this!
That's how life was
More amazing that scripted speeches for entertainment are no longer deemed allowed
Totally un PC. Those were different days.
He's like a cross between Owen Hart and Doc from Back to the Future.

Pro rasslin' could have racist promos because it was under the radar back then.

if new jack had a problem with it, patera would slap him six ways to sunday backstage then step over his body to go take a piss...
Are you saying that black people are violent and couldn't handle a little banter during a promo?
Poor Patera, broke and almost diasabled now. Wasn't smart enough to know how to get along with his boss. He could have a job in corporate like so many others, just a knucklhead.......
He's not broke nor disabled. He owns a limo company and not disabled
As life goes on that is likely to happen to all of us,poor health and that is why we need to look to Jesus for our strength and more important our salvation.thnks
