Former NFL Punter Reveals Why Vince McMahon and Co. Get Pissed at Him

Pat McAfee is the best commentator WWE has got in a long time. He sits alongside Michael Cole on SmackDown where he has already made his presence felt even being on commentary. Even Vince McMahon has praised his commentary on Friday nights. Recently, fans have loved the way he reacts to Shinsuke Nakamura’s entrance.

McAfee started appearing on WWE NXT in 2018 and also had a feud with Adam Cole in 2020. Apart from doing commentary on SmackDown, McAfee also handles his own show known as the Pat McAfee show.

Recently, on his show, Pat McAfee had Seth Rollins as his guest. McAfee introduced Rollins as a future Hall of Famer. He also told about Vince McMahon’s opinion when McAfee introduces anyone as a future Hall of Famer.

McAfee said, “Ladies and gentlemen, WWE Future Hall of Famer….by the way, I actually get yelled at every time I say, ‘Future Hall of Famer’ for this person. They’re like….it’s not always Vince (McMahon), it’s somebody that drops in, ‘we don’t know if that’s true or not.”

He also added, “It’s an amazing time. I try to sneak that in at least once a show to see how many Hall of Famers I can put in there.” (H/T Fightful)

Seth Rollins, after hearing this, jokingly told McAfee to call Shanky a future Hall of Famer. It is no doubt current WWE superstars Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens, Charlotte Flair, Becky Lynch, etc. are going to be inducted into the Hall of Fame. But the future isn’t certain that these all superstars will be in the Hall of Fame. 

There are many wrestlers who have been in a poor relationship with Vince after they left WWE and have still not been inducted into the Hall of Fame. Vince does not like someone doing things he does not agree with.

Vince McMahon once called off a McAfee SmackDown Segment

The WWE Universe has understood by now that Pat McAfee is a notorious commentator. He will almost do anything to keep the crowd amazed and active in the show through his commentary. The prime example is also making Nakamura’s entrance look great by dancing on the table.

Last year on the SmackDown Throwback edition episode, everyone motivated McAfee to shave his face and dress up like a young Vince McMahon from his announcing days for a segment. He did the same, but later when Vince saw it, he canceled that segment because McAfee looked a comical version of Vince. 

Vince McMahon is picky in things to say on WWE shows, which has got him so much success. Do you think Vince should give commentators a little freedom? Let us know in the comments section below.
