This year's 'Mania is the first WWE show I have watched in maybe eight years. And he's absolutely awful. I didn't know who he was on Night One, but his inane shouting stood out as dreadful. And I learnt his name tonight. He f***ing sucks. He actually detracted from the show. The other guy isn't great either, but at least he doesn't just shout inane shit at the top of his voice and annoy me.

Pat is great, he helped Cole fall in love with his job again and it makes a big difference.
He’s an acquired taste, but also one of the biggest names in sports media in the US, so he’ll be around for as long as he wants to be.

He's fine as a commentator, it's everything else about him that I dislike.

I've hated him since he returned but I thought tonight was the best he's been in ages. Felt like he was actually invested in what was happening and had a real direction for the first time in forever dickriding all the heels. If this sounds like the most bare minimum praise ever pls just work with me here.

He commented during a Bronson Reed match Reed was too big to wipe his own butt, and wasn't much better on WMN1. If the thing about getting Cole back into the spirit is true, cool, but I still am flabbergasted both nights were Pat Mac and Corey Graves flanking Cole.

He’s ok most of the time but very obnoxious and grating sometimes when he’s arguing with Graves.
I wanted Barrett on commentary. Much more soothing voice for us Brits!

I don't wanna make a separate thread for it but I want to shout out Cole, who absolutely NAILED the call on Cody's title win and the postmatch celebration

Maybe they told both Cory and Pat they both can't both be the full on Heel commentator at the same time.

I think a match or two of his schtick would be fine, but a whole show is too much now. He’s fun in small doses, but he says a lot of crap too.

He's extremely hit and miss. Sometimes I'm amazed at his wrestling knowledge, other times I want him to shut up.
The only thing he did that really annoyed me was his love of Roman Reigns. Isn't he supposed to be a babyface commentator?

He’s got a genuine enthusiasm about him that I really enjoy, and he and Cole obviously love working together, but he’s not going to be everyone’s flavour.

Absolutely cannot stand him. Even before he started doing cutesy little anti-AEW digs I thought he was incredibly obnoxious.

I've suffered through too much Booker T, Matt Striker, Mark Madden, Joey Styles, JBL, old JR and old Lawler to be that offended by Pat.

I wish I could tell him to stop with so many NFL references like I don't care that George Kittle is in the crowd.
