Several news outlets are reporting that both WWE chairman Vince McMahon and former wrestler Pat Patterson exhibited some very bizarre behavior at the funeral service of the late Rocky Johnson this week.
The WWE Hall of Famer, the father of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, passed away as the result of a heart attack on January 15 and was laid to rest on Tuesday.
According to Canadian wrestler Devon Nicholson and former WWE performer "Superstar" Billy Graham, proceedings did not go as smoothly as one would have expected.
Graham, who was not present, claimed to know what happened because he was told by his mother-in-law, who attended as she's friends with Rocky's wife. In a Facebook post, which has since been deleted, he said that McMahon stood up at one point and said, "Rocky did one good thing in his life, he married Ata and had some kids."
McMahon is also said to have performed his "working strut" as he walked off the platform - like he was cutting a promo - before sitting down.

Graham added that Patterson's speech started off nicely, with the 81-year-old praising Rocky. But then things changed suddenly.
“Out of nowhere Patterson goes into this rant and called Rocky Johnson, laying dead in the casket right below him, a mother F-er and started this vulgar rant about how worthless Rocky was," he said. "A bunch of guys had to drag Patterson off the church platform and sit him down.”
“Patterson who just turned 81 must be losing his mind literally," Graham added. "Only in pro wrestling folks, very sad to hear about this and I actually feel a bit ill over this bizarre behavior.”
Meanwhile, Nicholson has taken to his YouTube channel with claims of Patterson using the words "Godd**m" and "sh*t" during his speech. He also claims that there was some annoyance over the preacher speaking for over an hour and exuding negativity towards professional wrestling.
Reports of the strange behavior have been confirmed by Davey Boy Smith Jr., according to Wrestling News. But that's also coming from Nicholson, who noted that Smith was unavailable for a Skype call.
Nicholson says Smith told him he thought McMahon and Patterson were intoxicated and the latter had his mic cut off because he was rambling on and on.
Umm, Gosh...
Well, this is all very puzzling.
We aren't sure how true the reports and we actually hope whatever happened wasn't as bad as what's been detailed.
There were also claims of The Rock being angry over the whole thing but Nicholson has also reported that Johnson's best friend said that the Johnson family was not upset as they know McMahon is "a character."
