Pat McAfee reacts to his WrestleMania 38 matchup with Vince McMahon being named the “Worst of 2022” in the Wrestling Observer Awards.
The former NFL star joked that even though the nonsanctioned showdown received this poor accolade, it is a night he’ll remember for the rest of his life. McAfee adds that you should “never trust a rattlesnake,” a reference to Steve Austin giving him a stunner after he helped him fight McMahon off.
McAfee wrote about this match in a series of tweets.
Well… Me and Vince McMahon’s match at WrestleMania has officially been named “Worst (non-sanctioned) match of the year.
The old man was MUCH stronger than anybody could’ve imagined.. Caught me off guard quite a bit (and I was Cheap Shotted to start it all)
Fun Fact.. The 1st time Steve gave Vince a stunner was in 1997… I was 10 years old, from a working class community, and it made me fall in love with the business.
Wonder if it would be magical to get one last BAHGAWD in Stone Cold’s State?
But… How do we get there?
OHHHH.. He has to abuse his power a little bit… ohhhhhh
When I was invited back in the ring.. I thought I was gonna get to celebrate Stone Cold finally ending the run with Vince.. “The Common Beer Drinking Employee” has finally put the old “Power abusing Billionaire Boss” away..
I was LIVING A DREAM whilst they wrapped (in my opinion) the greatest/most impactful storyline in the history of wrestling.
BUT…
“NEVER TRUST THE TEXAS RATTLESNAKE PAT”
My brain may have been used during the planning of all of this.. So I appreciate the award.. obviously.
I’m not a movie guy.. I didn’t watch shows.. I don’t play video games.. From an entertainment standpoint.. Football and Wrestling are the only 2 things I’ve ever consistently watched/loved for my whole life.
Cheers to you all. I’ll remember that night, in Jerry World, forever.
WHADDDD
After Mcafee defeated Austin Theory on night two of WrestleMania, he would lose to McMahon in a very quick matchup. Stone Cold would emerge and help McAfee even the odds, but then left everyone unconscious with a stunner.
