"He sounds tough, like Stone Cold"- Dutch Mantell praises WWE Superstar (Exclusive)
Former WWE manager Dutch Mantell heaped praise on Pat McAfee, stating that the latter is believable on the mic like Stone Cold Steve Austin.
McAfee is currently embroiled in a feud with Happy Corbin on SmackDown. Corbin attacked the former NFL punter from behind on the blue brand this week. Pat was able to fend off the attack after which he delivered a promo in the ring, calling Corbin a "b***h" to end the segment.
On Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk, Dutch Mantell highlighted that McAfee is over with the fans. The wrestling veteran added that the SmackDown commentator is good at cutting promos:
"He's over, they like him. They try to beat him up and he keeps coming back. He does a good promo, you believe that guy. When you see a wrestling interview, if he can make you feel what he's feeling and he sounds tough, like Stone Cold [Steve Austin] or some of those guys, you ride with them. They're taking you with them to the ring, and that's what you want, and I think Liv [Morgan] can do that, McAfee can do that, and a few of those guys can do it and that's what you're looking for," said Mantell.
