In the same video, he mentioned his inspiration for wrestling and his excitement for his debut match.
“There was a time where every time I walked through a door, I pretended I was walking into a WWE arena, but tonight to feel that energy, I’m just hoping I don’t have a heart attack immediately, I’m hoping that I don’t get too gassed, and I’m hoping that I put on a damn good show because I’ve been thinking about it for 23 years,” said McAfee [H/T Wrestle Talk]
The enthusiastic commentator seemingly enjoyed the experience and is hopeful of having more moments in the ring moving forward.
"What a dream! What a life!" - Pat McAfee on segment with Stone Cold Steve Austin
The talk show host stated that his dreams came true at WrestleMania when he shared the ring and a few beers with his idol, Stone Cold Steve Austin.
On the same edition of the show, McAfee stated that he was living his best life after his segment with the veterans.
"I dreamt of being Steve Austin, I dreamt of being in a building when that glass breaks and all of a sudden the toughest son of a b***h on earth comes out. The fact that I never got to see his, and then I get to see his last match live, it was just, it was awesome. I just had the incredible opportunity and honor [burps] to chug beers with Stone Cold Steve Austin, have a WrestleMania match that Vince McMahon was a part of. I'm living on cloud 50, right now, dude. This is sweet! What a day! What a dream! What a life!," said Pat McAfee [11:29 - 13:12]
