It was fine. Comedy/novelty spot that didn’t take up any time, didn’t make anyone look stupid and reinforced that Pat ain’t really a wrestler. I enjoyed it, and it took up one spot that would have probably went to Tozawa or something. But he has pinned Baron Corbin, Austin Theory, and the Miz, while also feuding with Undesputed Era. I don't think it did anything that Lawler or Cole didn't do before. It isn't a huge deal, but I'd give it to someone more deserving like an Alpha Academy member (who had been announced on a YouTube show I believe) or Jinder. You could still do a slightly different comedy spot easily with another wrestler.

Hasn't your man McAfee kinda nuked his reputation lately anyway? I'm out of the loop, what has he done to "nuke his reputation"?

Imagine if it was AJ Hawk instead. He would've stared off into the infinite void and win because no one realized he was there the whole time. He would have been puffing on a stogie, too.

As a colts fan, I disliked him more than Mike Vanderjagt tonight. I'll leave it at that. How about Hank Baskett?

Just a really, really strange and wasted spot, and confusing too as dude made his entrance for the night as a face, but that spot was somewhat heelish and while he's not faced someone the size of Omos, dude has taken on and beaten Austin Theory and Baron Corbin.
Just felt like a waste of a spot.

I had never heard his commentary until I watched some recent Rumbles on YouTube and having now done so I can say I 100% understand everyone that hates him *or* loves him in equal measure

They should have had AJ Hawk with him to stare uncomfortably into the camera and say nothing.

Wasted spot on the commentary booth and in the Rumble match, he sucked last night.

Felt like they had Bron do what Brock was gonna do, and gave Pat his spot just to get it out the way.

Pat may have been injured, too. I remember him saying a month or two ago that he hurt his leg working out, maybe a torn meniscus or something, I forget. I figured he was training for a return, but he may not have actually been able to do anything physical if that's still bothering him. Which makes the spot more of a waste.

I remember a couple years ago when everyone raved about him on commentary and I was instantly reminded of a James Brown tune, “Talkin’ loud, sayin’ nothing.” Now that Vince isn’t yelling at Cole and Graves all show long and they can actually call the show like normal people, McAfee’s horrible performance stuck out even more last night.
He’s also a piece of garbage outside of being a terrible commentator.

As the most casual of casuals here, Pat and Corey's voices sound too similar. In dull Rumble moments when I zoned out, I didn't know who was making the lame joke a few times.
Also, why is Cole such a [kayfabe?] huge fan of Pat? Didn't he snitch on him for wearing shorts to Wrestlemania years ago?

Michael Cole was burned out from being the voice of WWE for years and having Vince and/or Dunn shouting in the headset. He credits McAfee with revitalising his enjoyment of his job.
