Praise for Accepted That story line is surprisingly wistful, tender, and accessible to all readers . . . Patterson is a very good storyteller, and his tales from the road about well-known personalities such as the fun-seeking Andre the Giant and the forever-young-at-heart Ray Stevens are wonderfully told, and many of the wrestlers time-killing pranks are laugh-out-loud funny. Publishers Weekly Fans of professional wrestling and those interested in LGBTQ rights from the 1960s to the present will find much to enjoy in this book from the first WWE intercontinental champion. Library Journal It should come as no surprise that Patterson's penchant for telling a good story in the ring translates to his storytelling ability within the confines of a book. . . For Pat Patterson, wrestling was his life and the greatest thing that ever happened to him. He and co-author Hebert do a sterling job of bringing that out through the pages of a story that's been long overdue. Charleston Post and Courier It's the author's perspective as a gay man in a world where gay was not a public option that gives the book its real value. Montreal Gazette A moving story about staying true to one s dreams, ambitions, and identity even in the face of improbable odds. Pat Patterson shares a stirring portrait of his rise to wrestling icon and trailblazer for LGBT athletes everywhere. Accepted is yet another display of strength and courage in Patterson's storied career as one of the world's most well-known wrestlers. Sarah Kate Ellis, President & CEO, GLAAD Praise for Mad Dogs, Midgets and Screw Jobs [Laprade andHebert]do an excellent job covering the history of one of North America s richest wrestling hotbeds . . . The ultimate guide to Montreal s legendary wrestling scene." Post and Courier An informative and entertaining read for any professional wrestling buff." Slam! Sports ", "I've learned so many things about Maurice. It was very revealing. I couldn't wait to read more about him, I was really captivated. I already had respect for Maurice; I have even more now." - Raymond Rougeau, former WWE wrestler and announcer "I never saw Mad Dog Vachon wrestle because he was before my time, but I always heard about how wild he was and after reading this book I now perfectly understand why people were so fascinated with him. It truly captures the essence of who Mad Dog Vachon was." - WWE Superstar Kevin Owens, "I've learned so many things about Maurice. It was very revealing. I couldn't wait to read more about him, I was really captivated. I already had respect for Maurice; I have even more now." -- Raymond Rougeau, former WWE wrestler and announcer "A definitive history of this hardcore heel who lived life to its fullest and wrestled even harder. . . The authors did their homework well and we reap the reward of their efforts. Mad Dog is a must-have read for every serious fan of pro wrestling." -- George Schire, author of Minnesota's Golden Age of Wrestling "What made this book a good read was the research and writing about the inner workings of the professional wrestling circuit." -- The Guy Who Reviews Sports Books "There is a lot of detailed information about Vachon's career and it's obvious the authors spent a lot of time researching." -- Teena In Toronto "Fans of classic eras of wrestling (1960s-1980s) will enjoy this work, along with those that want to study more about Canadian wrestling. The book was entertaining, knowledgeable, and heart-filled all combined in one setting. ECW has another winner on its hands with Mad Dog ." -- Lance Writes Blog "I never saw Mad Dog Vachon wrestle because he was before my time, but I always heard about how wild he was and after reading this book I now perfectly understand why people were so fascinated with him. It truly captures the essence of who Mad Dog Vachon was." -- WWE Superstar Kevin Owens "It sounds like he was a larger than life character." -- Dangerous Dan's Book Blog "Explores Vachon's career and personal struggles with painstakingly detailed historical research and through Maurice's own recollections and those of the people who knew him best." - Entertainment Report "Pat Laprade and Bertrand Hebert, who did the great book on Montreal wrestling history, wrote this one and I've seen it and it covers his entire life and that of the Vachon clan, wrestling in the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s and some of the legendary events in Montreal as well as the AWA, where Vachon was an icon." -- Wrestling Observer, "What made this book a good read was the research and writing about the inner workings of the professional wrestling circuit." -- The Guy Who Reviews Sports Books
