Cody Rhodes: Pat McAfee Has Given Me A Gift Because For The First Time, Everyone Can Agree On One Thing: No One Wants Pat F**king McAfee At WrestleMania
Cody Rhodes says nobody wants to see Pat McAfee at WrestleMania.
On WrestleMania Saturday, Cody Rhodes will face his former mentor and friend, Randy Orton, in an Undisputed WWE Championship match. Pat McAfee, who recently returned to WWE earlier this month, will be in Orton’s corner for this match.
Speaking with Joe Tessitore on WrestleMania 42 Countdown, Cody Rhodes said Pat McAfee united wrestling fans to agree on one thing: they don’t want to see him at WrestleMania.
“Pat McAfee is talking about the Attitude Era while representing Randy Orton, who debuted long after the Attitude Era. He’s doing catchphrases and he’s going on his own show. He’s talking about the IWC. He’s talking about calling people marks.
I’ve mentioned this to Pat even before. Bill Watts, old-time wrestling promoter, he used to make sure that people who called them marks, he corrected them and said, ‘Oh, actually they’re customers.’ Not only are they customers, when you’re someone who grew up in the business and every meal you got was because of it, they’re not just customers, they’re family. So here I am a polarizing wrestler that half the crowd is booing and half the crowd is cheering already. Pat, you’ve given me a gift because for the first time in the centuries that the sport of pro wrestling has existed, everyone can agree on one thing: No one wants Pat fucking McAfee at WrestleMania.”
Elsewhere in the same interview, Cody Rhodes said Randy Orton fans didn’t want to see him win his 15th World Championship with Pat McAfee standing next to him. Fans can check his comments here.
