Pat McAfee has shared his take on the Vince McMahon investigation
Jun 17, 2022
WWE commentator Pat McAfee has spoken about the recent investigation into WWE CEO & Chairman Vince McMahon.
Speaking on the recent edition of the Pat McAfee show, the former Indianapolis Colt said:
"Yesterday, the WWE, I know less than everybody else. This is just me, I don't know sh*t about f*ck. I go in, do my thing, say 'hello' to everybody, I'm out. I'm in, maybe the most awesome situation in the history of WWE for anybody. I'm a lifelong fan of the company, but I'm not part of anything. I'm part of no groups, I have no locker room. I literally bounce around, do my thing, and I'm out. It's designed to be that way, I think Michael Cole and everyone have set it up to be that way. 'This is the best way for this to happen, let's keep him out of everything. He comes in and does his thing'.
"I'm very fortunate, lucky, and I love that job. Outside looking in, it's like, [makes a curious face]. After watching Succession, anytime a board is trying to do something, it's hard not to be like, 'woah, woah, woah'. Yesterday, on the Internet, there was a lot of 'who is, what is'. I'm going there tomorrow. I'm excited to hear the chatter. Obviously, what is being alleged is not fantastic at all, it's terrible. There will be full investigations".
McAfee will provide commentary for tonight's episode of SmackDown, with the taping set to be 'business as usual' according to reports.
Asked why the allegations were surfacing now, the announcer said:
"Succession has ruined my life. It's completely ruined my life. Yesterday, when this hits the internet out of nowhere, I'm like, 'Oh my God'. It's hard not to start piecing things together and be like, 'you could see how that person would want...then that...if that was happening...how does this not come out?'. I'm watching along with everybody else. That came out of nowhere.
"What will happen? There are going to be a lot of investigations. There will be investigations about the investigations and those investigations will contradict other investigations. Will you ever get the truth? No, hopefully, we get part of it though. That's what everyone is hoping for. There were like six people at the WWE trending #1 yesterday. Out of nowhere. You open the trends and all the tweets are...'Oh, this person obviously did....did you hear this story from this person?'. For a good 9-10 hours, it was just, 'holy sh*t, I'm learning a lot about a lot of things.' What's real, what isnt? Who knows. Hopefully, I'll find out at some point. Hopefully, we all will. Who knows how that whole thing will go. It sounds incredibly problematic".
McAfee - who wrestled McMahon in a losing effort at WrestleMania 38 - also noted that he himself was trending due to Vince saying 'my wife at the time' (in reference to his wife Linda) when McMahon appeared on the Pat McAfee show in early March.
