Jim Ross recently talked about a wide range of topics on his Grilling JR podcast.
During the podcast, the WWE Hall of Famer discussed Pat Patterson temporarily leaving the WWE in 2004 as Patterson opted to resign from WWE because of the backstage influence of Triple H.
“I think Pat [Patterson] felt jilted. He wasn’t joined to the hips with Vince [McMahon] and Hunter [Triple H] wanted to be joined to the hips with Vince. Because he grew up in that WWE environment and saw that Vince was the boss. Look, it worked out pretty well for Hunter. Hunter was right along [and thought], ‘If I play my cards right, I’ll be in a pretty good spot here’. He was right. There he is – and Patterson resigned because of the hurt feelings and knew that Hunter was in a position where he wasn’t going to be supplanted, so he took a walk. All of us knew that Pat wasn’t going to be gone forever,” JR said (H/T to SportsKeeda).
