Summary

"When Pat Patterson was 17 years old, he was asked to leave his home after telling his parents he was in love ... with a man. Moving from Montreal to the United States in the 1960s, barely knowing a word of English, he was determined to succeed in the squared circle. Back when homophobia was widespread, Pat lived in the super-macho world of pro wrestling."--Publisher's description
