I'm Hello and walking to Taking You to School with Dr. Tom Richard.

I am your co-J. John Paz, and with me as always is the star of the show,

former a WWE tag team champion, eight-time Smoky Mountain Wrestling tag team champion, as well as one of the

greatest trainers in the history of professional wrestling. He is the Doctor of Desire. Tom Pritchard, Tom,

how are you today? God, doing great today. It's always a beautiful day here in Knoxville, Tennessee,

and I always like being here in Knoxville, Tennessee.

There's been so much going on in the wrestling world. I feel like the last couple weeks there's

just been so many wrestling deaths, unfortunately, going on. And I guess the first one I'll start

off with was the legendary Paterson.

So what did you think?

Obviously, you know, he was almost 80 years old and he had some health problems, but what did you think about the passing of Paterson?

Well, as we know, death is going to befall all men and it's going to come to us all.

We're not going to get out of this world alive.

That's why I don't take anything way too seriously anymore and never really have.

So, yeah, it's sad.

Pat was a great mind, and I got along with Pat, especially after I stopped wrestling,

but when we first came to WWE, he certainly wasn't a fan of mine or the heavenly bodies, that's for sure.

But be that as it may, Pat was, he could be hilarious, he could be funny, he could be charming and entertaining as hell.

So I've shared dinner with Pat quite a few times, so would have conversations.

You know, Pat could be very congenial and a lot of fun to be around, a lot of fun to talk to.
