Michael Cole and Pat McAfee have been running the SmackDown commentary for a while now. In fact, they were present when John Cena made his electrifying comeback at Money in the Bank 2021.
Undoubtedly, it was a special moment for the WWE Universe. However, it was one of the top moments for Michael Cole. In fact, during an interview with Pat McAfee, Cole thanked him for breathing life back into his body.
“It was one of the top five moments in my career,” Michael Cole said. “I do want to say this is that you have completely revitalized my career. I’ve been doing this for almost 25 years now, and I’ve seen everything in WWE. You go through different partners over the years, and everybody I’ve worked with has been great. But you’re different than all those guys because you’re a true fan. You bring that enthusiasm to the product, and I realize I have to step up my game to keep up with what you’re doing from an enthusiastic standpoint, and it’s been a lot of fun for me. And I just want to thank you for breathing some life into this old body again.” H/t Sportskeeda
