The Phantom

Pat Patterson has given his notice to World Wrestling Entertainment and is scheduled to finish up with the company on 10/19 at Taboo Tuesday.

The reason for Patterson's decision to depart the company is said to be a huge difference of opinion with Vince McMahon over the creative direction of the company, in particular the push of McMahon's son-in-law, Triple H. Patterson explained his opinions on the matter to McMahon after attending several Raw house shows on the road which ended up leading to Patterson giving notice that he was leaving the company.

The loss of Patterson, who is said to be going into retirement, is a major one for the promotion. Patterson is considered one of the greatest creative minds in the history of the business when it comes to creating finishes for big matches and also created the WWE's greatest gimmick match ever, The Royal Rumble.

It shows how badly things are going in the WWE when a man who has been there forever quits due to frustration.

When you see Jerusalem being surrounded by armies, you will know that its desolation is near. Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, let those in the country not enter the city. For this is the time of punishment in fullfillment of all that has been written. How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! There will be great distress in the land and wrath against this people. They will fall by the sword and be taken as prisoners to all nations. Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.
...At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. When these things begin to take place, stand up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near.
Luke 21:20-28
