"I appreciate you" - Pat McAfee takes to Twitter with huge praise for WWE colleague
WWE SmackDown announcer Pat McAfee has taken to social media to praise his commentary table colleague Michael Cole.
McAfee has been with WWE since 2018, when he began appearing on the NXT brand during its black-and-gold era. He also competed in a War Games match during his time on the developmental show. In 2021, Pat was moved to the SmackDown commentary table next to Michael Cole, a man who has been an announcer for WWE since the Attitude Era. Cole has been the voice of WWE since the late-2000s, and the chemistry between him and McAfee is obvious.
McAfee recently signed a multi-year extension to his contract with WWE. The news prompted Cole to take to Twitter and praise McAfee both for his work as a commentator and as a person. He also expressed his excitement to work with him in the coming years.
Pat McAfee responded to this with a Tweet of his own, where he told Cole that he appreciated him, and added a goat emoji to imply that Mike was the greatest of all time.
"Man.. I appreciate you Let’s keep it goin" McAfee wrote.
