Pat McAfee Is Now A Wrestler?!

[King Colt]

Cut this from a wrestling results article "Former NFL punter and rising radio host Pat McAfee will also be in action, as the WWE commentator goes up against Austin Theory."

[AKB]

have you ever watched the pat mcafee show?  actually there is a video describing the whole thing on YT.  Being involved in wrestling is one of his childhood dreams and now that he is rich he is checking off some items on his bucket list.  he talks quite a bit about his adoration for the entire wrestling operation and what it stands for. 

[strt182]

I'd say Pat is an entertainer and is going to entertain however he can for sure. He is very vocal about his love for wrestling and after tonight I am sure there will be more to this story. Not everybody gets to live their childhood dreams but I am happy for Pat as he checks off his boxes. 

[Shepman]

Last night was his second match in WWE as a sports entertainer.

Bro was a punter..  wrestled in Wrestlemania against the CEO and Founder Vincent Kennedy Mcmahon then got stunnered by Austin 3:16 lol.

 

This man is winning life, I'm in for it!

Pat's entrance was amazing, and I love the fact they announced him by way of Indianapolis, Indiana.

Pat’s doing what everyone should be doing living life and loving every second of it.

I actually can't understand why anyone watches "professional" wrestling.

 

Just my opinion.  Don't really care that Pat is involved.  I still won't watch.

Eh, I can't understand why anyone would watch amateur wrestling, baseball, golf, darts, reality TV, CSPAN, etc, etc, etc.  

 

The great thing is, I don't need to understand, and no one cares what I do or don't watch.

Some people can't understand why anyone watches football. Different people like different things.

Baseball is boring but the post season is intense. When the Cubs won it all, that was the greatest thing I have ever seen besides Colts winning it all in 2006, but I am a Cubs fan. I give him Darts, or something like Bowling, even Soccer to me is unwatchable. Watching dudes run up and down the field for 90 minutes and score 1 goal and win 1-0 is comical. Now If i had bet on a game, it would be different

He did good. He’s put in the work to be good. He’s worked really hard with Rip Rodgers to learn how to move and be safe in the ring. He’s a natural at getting over with the fans. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him work more matches in the future. He’s got what it takes to be a decent wrestler, which is a hell of a lot more than I can say for most of the rest of the WWE/AEW rosters these days. 

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

I watched the video. It’s pretty funny. Pat is a fun guy.

Pat's entrance with 7 Nation Army and the crowd singing along was fantastic. The fact they did the "by way of Indianapolis, Indiana" during the entrance was fantastic.

His allegiance to Indianapolis and the Colts is great to see. Every single time!

The way Pat leaped up from the canvas to the top rope was great. I used to be hardcore wrestling fan back in the  80's and 90's but the "theater" go too much for a while but I ONLY tuned in really to watch Pat.

I agree 100%.

....But it's Entertainment for some, just like watching a TV show or movie...they are all scripted and it's ok, especially if people realize wrestling isn't a sport, it's scripted entertainment. And they Legally describe themselves as "Entertainment" not a sport. Wrestling and the NFL are the only ones that legaly list themselves as "entertainment" instead of as a sport.

Yeah I've been down the rabbit hole of conspiracies with NFL ownership and fixing games with gambling profiteers in Las Vegas. Those facts along with the NFL listing themselves as entertainment, not strictly a competitive event, is eyebrow raising if you buy into that stuff. That said, it's well known the mob paid to fix (championship) games in the MLB....

Well depending on your age advertisers care but that’s it lol

Well considering that is a widely known fact, yes that is what I was referencing. Do you believe the one time it's been known about, was the only time it's been done? I doubt that very much.

Ok.   The Black Sox scandal.   Just checking.  
 

Thanks. 
 

As for whether it’s happened again….   Mob influenced….   I have no idea.   I hope not.

I haven't gotten into wrestling for decades.

So are all the movies and most of the TV Shows you watch. Also, wrestling is scripted and predetermined, not fake. Carry on though.

Scripted and premeditated is the definition of "fake" if we're talking about "sports".

Not saying professional wrestling doesn't require hard work or skill. 

 

PS.... I have a pic of me as a tiny kid with D the Bruiser and BB.
