Pat McAfee Talks About Considering Michael Cole Greatest Announcer Of All-Time


Pat McAfee recently appeared as a guest on Busted Open Radio to promote his upcoming match against Austin Theory at WrestleMania 38.

During the appearance, the SmackDown color-commentator and former NFL star spoke about working alongside Michael Cole.

Featured below is an excerpt from the discussion where he talks about how he considers Cole the greatest announcer of all-time.

“Michael Cole is the GOAT, by the way. He could do that show with anybody. He could do that show with a bag if he had to, and he proved that after I got escorted out after beating the hell out of Austin Theory. He was able to call his own match.

“He’s coming up on 25 years doing that job, he’s only missed two shows. You’re talking about one of the most experienced, one of the best workers, and a man who is an actual journalist who has the professionalism to go through some bullsh*t.

“There’s some bullshit segments that he has to lay out and do and it’s just part of the job.”
