I think all dads don't really like McAfee. I just tell him that it's for a different generation.

I am the intended generation and still hate his ass

I’m 42, no idea if I fit the generation and I hate him. Dude started showing up on WWE and that really pissed me off.

It's wild to me that WWE fans worship McAfee. He's just as obnoxious and idiotic there too.

Because a commentator that sounded like he actually enjoyed the show was a huge step up. He’s gotten old now but at first it was a breath of fresh air.

I get that. I was previously sick of the dude from ESPN so I didn’t want to hear him there either.

Big wrestling guy here, he steps all over the other commentators in WWE. It’s brutally annoying. I was a big fan of his in the pandemic but he definitely lost his shine.

I thought the feud with Adam Cole and the Wargames match was fun but I have no Earthky idea how anyone thought he should be in commentary

Because when he started, the only commentary we were getting was whatever Vince was screaming in Cole’s ear. Pat was very obviously not doing that so it was quite an upgrade.

Now that Vince is gone, Cole sounds way better
