Please, this is all I have
It's funny in hindsight how little time passed between Triple H stepping down, Vince's goons running NXT into the ground, and Triple H & Stephanie taking over the company after Vince and his goons got removed.

In what, a year NXT went from "it's okay" to nearly unwatchable outside of twitter clips.

I first saw the boot up ps1 screen at my aunt’s house, her brother had a ps1 and let me play it and that opening, for the first time I saw it, was like the coolest thing ever to me at the time. A woah moment. Definitely this is the future vibes

If you're telling me WWE has a commentator that can be described as 'Don West but worse' that only validates my decision to continue to not give WWE programming the time of day.

Don West is has a silly charm about him that makes him great, like an overenthused pitchman, his exuberance is infectious

McAffee has all of the shouty overselling of Don West but absolutely none of the charm

When I was 17, my father was so stupid, I didn't want to be seen with him in public. When I was 24, I was amazed at how much the old man had learned in just 7 years.
McAffee to me is just there, barely notice him. I'd rather hear him all day than CM Punk brag on Raw about his bigamous marriage to Carmella without ever mentioning AJ at all. Couple that with all the problems he's causing in the AEW locker room and I just think dude is bad for wrestling.

Don West has cancer.

Impact's announcers are Tom Hannifan (f/k/a Tom Phillips) and Matthew Rehwoldt (f/k/a Aiden English). They're fine.

Pat McAfee to me is MST3K as a wrestling announcer. WWE is largely bad, so having a guy screaming and riffing on it is enjoyable for that audience. But if you're watching an actually good match/segment, having a goof in your ear trying to crack jokes and make you laugh is annoying as hell. And since I will only ever watch WWE by way of clips on Twitter of outstanding stuff, he is only ever annoying me.

Keep Rehwoldt far away from commentary.

Really thought I could escape this sub forum's constant judgment of CM Punk here in the WWE Discussion thread. :mad:

I like McAfee.

But I also liked him when he was on the Colts so.

I do understand how some people find him grating, but at least he's 100% authentic in his enthusiasm and it isn't just some gag. That's how the guy actually is. He once took a drunken swim in an Indianapolis canal, and no sane person does that.

mcafee most recently was whining that a football player who is swinging helmets at other football player's heads should not be at risk of punishment because they were doing it in a pre-season practice rather than the regular season :D

tbf thats literally the NFL policy on preseason, they don't suspend/punish stuff that occurs during the preseason scraps

(I obviously disagree with the NFL rule)

tbf he didn't do any "actually," like that and went with making fun of the idea of anything bad happening to him because of how awesome he is, so i wouldn't say i mischaracterized anything about it
