The OFFICIAL Pat McAfee Commentary Hatred Thread

[GOTHIC CHARISMA 🧊 🥶❄️FURY]

yes, this topic is important enough to get an official designation and i know a whole bunch of you have wanted to go in on this fella but there's no specific thread for it.

if there is one message i got from last night especially people who hadn't watched WWE in years, it was how much they hated pat on commentary. 

you wanna throw some batteries at pat? have at it!

[TWERKIN' MAGGLE]

I don't like Pat McAfee as a person. I don't like that he represents WWE's new mega dude bro energy.

As a commentator, he does his job. Can't complain.

[Doo Doo is Worse Than WCW 2000]

I wonder how many bro-dude types are into WWE now because of him.

I liked him at first, but his style has really started grating on me and it doesn't help that he kept using his show to give washed up dipshits like Aaron Rodgers a platform.

Also, he's one of the oldest looking 36-year-olds I've ever seen.

god only knows how many uppers pat mcafee is on at any given time

McAfee is the kind of person who would probably be kind of fun as an occasional drop-in but being there for entire shows he's goddamn unbearable.

[mcstoklasa]

He's better than Lawler, JBL and the old version of Cole at least

[zrowsdower]

Sometimes he seems to have a good grasp of the action in front of him and other times, he comes off like he's about to ask Cole, "how much does that fella weigh?"

[Cyno]

I both appreciate and can't stand Pat McAfee. I appreciate that he used his pull to get Norby Williamson fired from ESPN because f*** that dude. But god he sucks at commentary.

His ESPN show is a mixed bag. Sometimes it's entertaining. Sometimes it's complete cringe.

Him and Corey yelling and screaming together like morons is bad times.

I know literally nothing about Pat McAfee other than that he was a kicker in the NFL and that he has a popular show or podcast or whatever it is. (Never seen an episode of it and am in no rush to, so I can't judge it.)

Other than that, I can live with his silly goofball bullshit vibe he brings to commentary.

[chronocross]

I liked Pat more during his first run, nowadays he's just super annoying to listen to. Maybe that's the point, I dunno.

This is all it feels like to me, for hours and hours: Two bros I can barely tell apart yelling the same cliched shit (why are they yelling?), with Michael Cole in there, too. Just shoot me.

I honestly don't know how you all are able to stomach this stuff regularly. I pop in for select big events and want to claw my ears off every time. I must have yelled "Shut UP" at my screen 100 times in the second half of the show.

Post-Vince Cole and Wade were an amazing team. Best commentary team WWE's had in ages. I hate that they got split up.

I'll give it that Graves and Barrett are a pretty good match too. Honestly Graves is way better as the straight man than as an abrasive heel.

I love Pat and the energy he brings

["Cane Dewey" Johnson]

Why can't Nigel McGuinness and Wade Barrett do commentary for all the wrestling shows, even the ones for companies they don't work for?

Everybody else is terrible, simply terrible.

[ayumidah]

I was in the minority when he first started and I disliked him. He's somehow gotten worse since.

We all need to listen to dah more.

Pat McAfee is fine when it’s just he and Michael Cole. The three man booth with those two and Corey Graves got a little unbearable at times. Hopefully, the three man booth was only a thing because of WrestleMania, and WWE goes back to Cole and Graves for PLE’s going forward.
