Pat McAfee appreciates WWE veteran following an impeccable performance at Extreme Rules
WWE commentator Pat McAfee was thrilled after watching WWE Extreme Rules. After the show, the former NFL player appreciated WWE commentator Michael Cole for his performance.
Michael Cole was one of the two commentators for last night's Extreme Rules premium live event. Both he and WWE RAW's Corey Graves presented the entire show. Cole has been a part of WWE for over two decades and has called several iconic matches during his time. Undertaker versus Triple H at WrestleMania 28, Shawn Michaels versus The Phenom at both WrestleMania 25 and 26, and many more.
Over the years, the SmackDown commentator has made several catchphrases such as, "Here comes the Big Dog", "It's Boss Time," and many more.
Last night on Extreme Rules, Cole's reaction to the ending of the "I Quit" match between Finn Balor and Edge and Matt Riddle's Senton Bomb from the top of the Fight Pit were remarkable and caught the attention of the wrestling world. That included Cole's former partner in crime, Pat McAfee. The former NFL player claimed Cole is the greatest of all time.
"Michael Cole is the (G.O.A.T) That call was GLORIOUS" Pat McAfee tweeted.

@ChrisWhitney23 @PatMcAfeeShow Michael Cole might be the best SmackDown commentator of all time, especially during the Ruthless Aggression.
@PatMcAfeeShow @MichaelCole is absolutely amazing at his job. He put @DomMysterio35 over as a heel perfectly.
@PatMcAfeeShow Cole is the 🐐
Of course, there were some that disagreed with McAfee claiming Cole is the greatest but did appreciate the WWE veteran's performance.
@PatMcAfeeShow He’s definitely NOT the 🐐, but that was one of the best calls of Cole’s career
@PatMcAfeeShow Please. GOAT? Hell no.

The wrestling world missed Pat's commentary and wanted to him to return to SmackDown as soon as possible.

@PatMcAfeeShow missing you already
@PatMcAfeeShow Needed you there too

People also threw some shade at Corey Graves, claiming he was one of the drawbacks in the commentary team.
@therealkj4 @PatMcAfeeShow Raw commentary is so bad. It's just Corey arguing with Saxson the entire time lol
@PatMcAfeeShow Graves might be the worst commentator of all time. It's rough listening to him for a whole show.
McAfee is currently busy with being part of ESPN's college game day and thus is taking a break from WWE but has mentioned that he will return as soon as possible.
