During Monday’s episode of “The Pat McAfee Show”, WWE SmackDown commentator Michael Cole was a guest and told McAfee just how much he’s changed the dynamic of his career. Cole said,
“You have completely revitalized my career. I’ve been doing this for almost 25 years and have seen and been part of everything in WWE. You go through different partners and everyone I have worked with has been great and have all brought a different style to the product. JBL, unbelievable partner. Corey Graves, incredible talent. You’re different than all of those guys because you’re a true fan and you bring that enthusiasm to the product and seeing how you’ve been acting over the past couple of months has really revitalized what I do and I realize that I have to step up my game to keep up with what you’re doing from an enthusiastic standpoint and that’s what I’m trying to do. It’s been a lot of fun for me and it’s been really different. Thank you for breathing life into this old man.”
McAfee then followed up, saying,
“As a fan for a long time, the general thing has been ‘Michael Cole is WWE’s driver.’ You’re answering things none of us truly understand are happening. It’s been an honor to get a chance to, I don’t want to say fuck with you, but almost remind you that this is a fun thing. That’s something I do on a regular basis, ‘remember, this is fun.’ The only reason I can do what I’m doing is because I have you there. You are the biggest safety net that anybody can ever have. I’m honored to see you having a blast.”
