This Theory/MacaFee feud is so stupid.

[TheDieselTrain]

So….if Theory wins……so what he beat an announcer in a match.
If he loses then he loses to an announcer in a match..

Well aware Pat had some matches in NXT but still…..

[Lizuka #BLM]

Theory is just such a pile of, "Why would you ever push this guy?" to me. He's only ever been remotely useful as an idiot henchman.

["Evil Brood" Jackson Vanik]

The feud feels Universe Mode. Just very by the book and missing anything resembling a spark. And I get why it's happening and the setup for it but it all feels very bland.

[ayumidah]

As bad as it is, I think it would've been a little worse if the build was leading to McAfee vs Vince.

This match was just not asked for, honestly.

Theory is decent in the ring but Tyler Breeze did the selfie gimmick 100 times better.

I'd rather Theory faced off against Ricochet or something.

[häšhtå.gdālėÿ]

McAfee rocks and Theory is a fine prospect. His character hasn’t been right other than “Idiot son” but I still enjoy him. 🤷‍♂️

This. I love Pat, and I applaud WWE for showing interest in someone new like Theory, BUT this just isn't a good pair that would make a compelling mania match.

[Super Duper Dragunov]

I hate Austin Theory's facial hair.

That's all I have to add.

[sportatorium]

It's the same problem I've had with McAfee since he started getting in the ring. He shouldn't be booked as a physical equal to the wrestlers. Especially in this case as the babyface. He shouldn't be beating Theory up & then running his mouth. He shouldve taken a beating & just said eff it, I'm coming after you no matter what happens. As it stands, Mcafee the babyface has had the upper hand all the way through regardless of the apology.

It makes zero sense. Mcafee is likeable, Theory is zero threat and not over at all.

[Deleted]

you could have mcafee wrestle a plate of tiramisu and i'd be glued to the screen

[Pooh Carlson]

Yeah the build of this match isn't great. McAfee is a natural heel in the mic, as shown in NXT. There's a video that Pat put out after Vince was on about how his dream was to compete in the WWE, which was part of his promo in Friday, but also showed that before he was drafted he bought a ring and competed on the indies and after he retired he started training to be a wrestler. They should show a package on smackdown about that and play up the fact that, despite just being an announcer, he's a trained wrestler. Also maybe show some of the tackles he made despite being a punter. The feud itself isn't necessarily stupid, but the story and build is pretty weak. Regardless, it'll be one of the better "celebrity" matches in WM history.

[polarbearpete]

The build has been lackluster and they should have just went forward with it as McAfee vs. Vince. I do think the actual match will be memorable (in a good way), though.

yup clueless goof jock as part of the WAY was pretty much the most entertained i've been by theory. alas for him he'll be outshined by his little brother Quill in no time.

[Susan "Poison" Candy]

Its because Austin Theory is "The Biggest Idiot Ever" and Pat MaCoffee is high strung on either coffee, coke, or both

When people bring up the "He's a really good wrestler" wrestler, where they do a lot of cool moves, have good matches, but like... that's it, Theory is the guy I think of outside of Tony Nese.

Usually a lot of wrestlers have a quality to them that helps them stand out even if a main crux of their gimmick is they wrestle well, but Theory outside of The Way doesn't have any of that... he takes selfies, that's it... that's his life lmfao.

As I said dude needs a hook.


for years I said Tyson Kidd was the blandest dude on the roster, until he found the "Teddy Hart" gimmick in NXT and was then clicking on all cylinders.

He had a good thing going as the Jock doofus of the Way which is a decent foundation you can build off of... but they seemingly got rid of most of that for... "guy who takes selfies because he is young"

[Nosnorb]

This will be the first Singles match that Theory will have on PPV in the WWE, and its going to be against a former NFL dude turned commentator. It's asking a lot of Theory and Pat to make this a match that doesn't have the crowd head to the concourse at Jerryworld.

So it's the old "position player is pitching conundrum". Either you get a hit from a really poor pitcher or you've an out from one. Either way, you can't really win.

Ehhhhhhhhh, physically speaking, McAfee is a special case. He's not exactly Michael Cole, he's a former NFL player (yes, a punter, but kickers are much more physically comparable to wrestlers now than they were in the past) and still pretty close to his playing days. They haven't bothered trying to establish he's trained and wrestled in NXT, though, correct? Because that would kinda help.
