WWE personality heavily praises Pat McAfee
Initially, Pat McAfee started with the promotion as a heel and created his faction to feud against The Undisputed Era. However, it all changed when McAfee moved to the main roster as a color commentator alongside Michael Cole.
Speaking on Notsam Wrestling, The Bump's Megan Morant heavily praised McAfee and shared a few heartfelt instances where he was kind and helpful to others behind the scenes.
"I think the world of Pat. One of the things about Pat is that he’s so kind to everyone. He knows everyone’s name, the people who mic you up, the people who do camera work, everybody, Pat knows their name and just getting to watch him be who he is was cool for somebody who wants to be in television for a long time, whether that be in sports entertainment or sports or wherever it may be. He’s a star and watching what he does is very cool."
