Pat Patterson had a unique interview style
The Pat Patterson brunch was a reference to the WWE Hall of Famer conducting interviews on a podium. They mostly featured Patterson interacting with the Montreal crowd in French, but they were conducted in a rather distinct style:
"When WWF came to Montreal, Pat had a what you call a brunch. It was called the 'Pat Patterson's brunch'. It would be like the interviews that the guys used to do on the podium during a show, a two-minute, three-minute interview with the talent, and he was so good at that. He was really good, he had this gimmick at the time that he did, which was amazing. People are still talking about it today in the news everywhere, he used to have a guy from the states come in or a foreigner come in and there was French TV here, of course. So we'd all understand what he was saying, except that the talent that would come in wouldn't understand."
Jacques Rougeau would further go on to share an instance regarding the Pat Patterson brunch when Hacksaw Jim Duggan was the guest on Pat Patterson's podium. The story can be heard from the 4:28 mark in the interview.
