I will say it was great to have him back. Him, Corey and Cole made for an effective trio that felt like they were just talking shit at home as opposed to at the job
It was good and bad tho as they didn't really sell some serious things and Cole had to reel in Pat a time or two but you can tell he enjoyed having him out there. Pat was def winging it at points but overall it was nice to have him back

Pat had to have had a good buzz going, dude was just given free reign and he was just saying anything. Need some more of that. LMAO

Cole was super giddy having him back and it seems like this was a surprise to Cole and Graves. When Pat came out at first, I thought he was entering at number 1. I also agree, it was just 3 guys talking shit on commentary tonight. So refreshing and also something that would of never happened under Vince.

Lmao I thought him and Corey were like oil and water. And yeah, Cole felt like a dad trying to reign in his one nerdy son and his one jock son. But they were fun. I’ll take anything over Kevin Patrick. I’ll take Hardy over KP.

It was hilarious how Corey kept having animosity for Pat, then spent most of the show agreeing with him

Corey got third wheeled so hard tonight. I'm not complaining.

Hope this mean Barrett goes to Raw cause the Raw team is so boring.

I was forced to listen to him talk about people being getting "CHOMP-ionship" title runs/reigns/accolades tonight.
He's fine on commentary, but god does his accent grate my nerves. The way he pronounces A's...just...*shudders*.
I get why, but it's still annoying.

I thought for the most part commentary did a great job tonight. You could see how genuinely happy Cole was to have him there and all 3 of them worked really well together. I normally find Graves insufferable but even he was on tonight. It was a great show and you could tell they were loving it.
That said, there were moments where they maybe kept on a joke or comment for a bit too long and it turned into flogging a dead horse. Thankfully that was relatively rare and they actually contributed to the experience.

Pat giving zero shits and calling things however he felt to call them was one of the best things about the show. Michael Cole playing off Pat was legit entertaining. it was great!

I’m not a McAfee fan but his offhand “Shoutout to Applebee’s” the first time the Rumble clock popped up made me laugh.

So do they reshuffle the announcers again to get Pat back on the shows regularly, or do they just keep him for PPV/PLE duty?

PW Insider is reporting that Cole/Corey legit didn't know Pat would be there so if they sounded like they were caught off guard and acting talking all over each other, that's why.

I don't see enough WWE to really judge but since it was Royal Rumble I was watching - this guy sounded both ill and drunk the entire night and was like he was pronouncing every other word like he was part of a bet to see how stupid it could get

Him and Cole reuniting was so heartwarming. If I get Wade and Vic reunited I will feel like Cole did seeing Pat again.
My only complaint is I do wish the trio wasn't so "WE'RE TRYING TO BE REALLY FUNNY LISTEN TO US PICK THIS APART!!!!!!" Funny Youtube Gamer Guys during the women's Rumble though lol

Yeah, and I think him being able to see Roxanne win the title was a major thing for him too
