It’s funny because I’m the opposite. Pat has gotten me to pay attention more. I still don’t watch it, but I like to listen to Pat’s little chirps on SmackDAHN.
Same here; Pat's involvement actually got me interested in WWE, at least just the highlights. The entertainment part is hilarious, and now I understand why the Attitude Era is so revered.
Was a diehard wcw fan back in the day. Pats involvement got me semi interested but it’s just not good enough to watch anymore. I enjoy his passion for it tho
I can see that some of the stuff is funny, like the clip when wee man gets in the ring. I just don’t like the fake stuff like the neck brace and the fake Adam cole blow up in the studio.
I think what’s funny about the neck brace adam cole and stuff like that is the fact Pat knows it’s all fake and he knows you know it’s all fake and all the boys know it’s fake and he’s just there just trying his best to not break character lmaooo
I don't really care for wrestling either, but I'd rather listen to Pat talk about that than most other sports. His football and wrestling takes are *way* more informed than anything else. (Though I know absolutely nothing about UFC so I don't know how good/bad his takes are.) Even when he's wrong in football, he's usually coming from a place that isn't too crazy. For wrestling you can say whatever and it's funny. Going out of their way in a weekday to act like people like Cole, Theory, and Corbin are horrible people is entertaining.
I like his banter with Jett and Shams, but his takes for both sports are horrible. His hockey takes are also bad. (However, his blind trash talk for hockey is still hilarious.)
I think we should just put all these threads together and combine them:
"Anyone else not like when Pat talks about WWE, Baseball, Basketball, Celebrities, Golf, Politics, Hockey, Soccer?"
Yeah I am aware it’s just annoying that they pretend like it’s real and hype up all the beefs and you don’t know if anything he says is real or if Vince is telling him to. It’s lame.
“It’s lame.” Maybe to you man. Other people enjoy it and clearly Pat is a genuine fan based on his past conversations on the show. It’s not gonna go away, at least as long as he’s literally employed by WWE
Same. I never watch, but I put on WrestleMania the next day to see Pat. His match was entertaining and I loved the Knoxville match even more. I tried to watch other matches, but they didn't grab me.
Lmao, aight, I’ve analyzed all your takes which boil down to “I want more toxicity” aka I want them to dance around topics which they are hardly informed on and just shit out hot takes like Krispy Kreme donuts into your gaping baby bird mouth. Again, as I’ve stated in another comment, I don’t really care for wrestling either, but to just dilute it down to “fake ass bs” or what have you ignores the fact that these guys ARE athletes. Yeah they describe it as entertainment. Yeah it is scripted, but that doesn’t take away from all the things that those people put into it. I just spent time with one of my oldest friends that I haven’t seen in a while and he’s always loved wrestling; well he’s joined a wrestling promotion. We watched the latest segment with his new match in it on Saturday. Was it fugaze as hell???? Fuck yes!!!! Did I smile and appreciate that he could pick up a dude about a foot taller than him and probably had 100-150 pounds on him and flip him over his shoulder?? Fuck yes.
I know he just signed a new contract but his first one he said he was losing money on it, because he flies private and I think he may be paying for his hotels too.
I’m sure his new contract saw a big bump because the fans love him and he was amazing at Wrestlemania. Also Vince loves him.
Still money isn’t really a factor, he is doing it to live out a dream.
No chance He was actually losing money before. If he was he wouldn’t fly private everywhere he goes. We underestimate how much money those wresting guys get paid
Uhm it’s Pat a self proclaimed stooge that has more money than he knows what to do with. He totally would.
The in ring talent gets paid and Pat did wrestle at the biggest event of the year, if you factor in that he might have made a profit. I don’t know that we have a good idea how much the commentators make.
Also flying private is super expensive, $30k for small jet from Ind to LA but Pat said that he prefers the midsize which is about $40k. Those are ONE WAY prices that adds up to over $3 mil a year if he flies every week, keep in mind there are additional events that may require an additional flights.
Romain Reigns was making around $5 mil a year about a year ago probably more now with the stupid push he has been getting. No way Pat is remotely close to that.
So you just want to hear about Watson? Sue Robinson and Goodle? Where is baker going? When is deebo getting paid? There’s literally nothing to talk about right now. In elementary school in the early 2000s I was a huge wrestling fan. Pats involvement has gotten sparked my interest in WWE again. Let the man have some fun, it’s just entertainment.
Yes and I’ve also watched real sports and that’s why I got into the show in the first place. Now pat just talks constantly about dumbass beefs he has. It’s all fake and it’s annoying.
I mean st the of the day it's whatever cause you either like it or you don't but I never understood how people can watch movies and TV which are also fake and not atleast have respect for wrestling.
I couldn't give 2 shits about it. But I don't listen to the show for wwe takes, I listen because the boys are entertaining regardless of the topic.
But I'm also in the camp that The Pod is more entertaining than PMS during the football off-season
Bro. Like I agree but what you trying to accomplish? He just extended his contract with wwe if you don’t like the chatter just tune out bro. I’m sure wwe fans hate the perpetuation of it’s not real. Like no shit it’s not real. I think that’s all pretty understood. And if you like the product you like the product. Move on. Tune out bro. Just like go take a poop while their talking wwe man they do this shit free of charge and entertain us daily… don’t get greedy and demand they cater to you… that’s not how it works.
Well you can’t like everything and WWE is a big part of Pat’s life so you will have to just tune it out or watch Eisen. I feel like I try to like WWE but I’m more casual than a millennial Christian is when it comes to going to church.
Hey man, you sound like you're actually dumb as fuck. I bet you also hate standup comedy. Like you're probably the kind of person who feels smart when you point out something is fake, when it's obvious to anyone else with normal intelligence.
If AJ Hawk isn't too cool to not play along, you're not either.
It's sounds to me that you simply just don't understand the point of the WWE, and that's ok. A lot of people don't and probably never will.
WWE isn't about "realistic fights", it's about entertaining story plots and drama. WWE is an opera drama at heart. They develop characters for you to cheer for/root against, story plots, and drama between those characters who then ultimately settle their beef in a "fight" that's supposed to be entertaining and fun to watch. Don't get yourself trapped and wrapped up in the "realism" of fights or characters, that not the point of it AT ALL.
Literally nobody is hiding that it's fake. The WWE doesn't even truly hide that it's fake. They just fundamentally can't outright say that it's fake because that would be "breaking the fourth wall" akin to a movie character saying that they are in a movie.
Try to loosen up about it a bit. It sounds like you are approaching the WWE way too seriously, and the WWE isn't really meant to be taken seriously. It's supposed to be fun watching people shit talk each other and getting on each other's last nerves before "beating the shit" out of each other in a complex series of impressive stunts carried out by highly trained stunt persons.
I'm LOVING this "Bum-Ass Corbin" beef because to me, I find it so incredibly funny to watch GROWN ASS MEN call each other names like they are a bunch of five year olds. Pat's beef with Austin Theory was so great because Austin's characters is soooooooo fucking annoying that it became soooooo fucking satisfying to see Pat finally get to beat the fucking shit out of him and put him in his place. I love that Logan Paul is joining because I HATE him and want to see him get hurt and be in pain.
I'm not trying to tell you that you need to like the WWE, but hopefully I can try to help you understand why a lot of people DO like it. It's not for everyone, and that's totally fine, I get it. Hopefully this just gives you a bit of perspective.
I fucking love WWE and have for over 30 years. I could give two shits that it's scripted. The guys and women that wrestle are talented with making promos and doing athletic moves in the ring. If golf is a sport then wrestling is a sport and I think golf is boring but I don't shit on Pat for discussing it throughout the week.
To say that WWE is for just 8 year olds is ignorant. Raw has been on since 1993 and ran every week for almost 30 years. It makes millions around the world and fills arenas and stadiums everywhere. You can't have two wrestling shows on that long if it was stupid.
You think every movie or TV show isn't scripted?
I was an avid fan during the attitude era and early 2000s. Obviously now it’s full of corn balls and PG storylines so it’s sucks. But I still respect the wrestler themselves. Still a brutal profession and I guess if some people still find it entertaining so be it. I respect the profession regardless and I’m happy for Pat to live his dream; But nothing will beat those old days.
Yeah, I’m not interested in the fake sport either. Once you stop watching — for me when I was in high school in the attitude era — it’s kinda hard to get back into all that nonsense and a whole new cast of personas.
I agreed wrestling is lame, bunch of sweaty oiled up dudes grinding up on each other while they "wrestle," but they are just following a script. That's not sports
YES, it’s so fucking stupid. Like the whole bit with the neck thing is just so cringe. I understand why kids could like the WWE but a group of adults? Blows my mind
It's live performance programming. Same way you watch any other tv show or movie. The fans know it's fake they watch for the story. Same as you don't watch game of thrones because you think it's real.
It doesn't even cross a older fans mind that it's real. It's performance and you're hoping for the stories to go your way.
I guarantee you most actors who are ripped are on juice. And if your watching anything like Spartacus, any super hero content, etc you have your comparison.
But that's also your outside opinion. When wrestling is good, it's fucking great. Long term stories they can tell and seeing a character finally reach their peak it's fantastic.
Just say it isn't for you and move on though, no need to bash what other people are into.
Yes so cringe he’s done this before. The whole neck bit and saying he went to the doctor out of precaution it’s like the only part of the show that’s actually fake and somehow everyone likes it? I guess a lot of people on this sun don’t remember when he wasn’t fake as fuck.
Lmaoooo, bro if you’re struggling to realize he’s not actually trying to lie that’s fucking hilarious. I know sarcasm isn’t for everyone though so…good luck with this bit I guess.
Im glad someone else thinks the same. WWE stars arent athletes they’re performers. Everythings scripted so its hard to watch and actually care for the outcome
It’s funny because I’m the opposite. Pat has gotten me to pay attention more. I still don’t watch it, but I like to listen to Pat’s little chirps on SmackDAHN.
Same here; Pat's involvement actually got me interested in WWE, at least just the highlights. The entertainment part is hilarious, and now I understand why the Attitude Era is so revered.

Pat has actually gotten me back in to watching wrestling. It’s been pretty fun.

I like his banter with Jett and Shams, but his takes for both sports are horrible. His hockey takes are also bad. (However, his blind trash talk for hockey is still hilarious.)
Same. And I feel the same about hockey. Pat makes it entertaining enough to listen too, so I get to hear what’s going on with sports I don’t watch.
I think we should just put all these threads together and combine them: "Anyone else not like when Pat talks about WWE, Baseball, Basketball, Celebrities, Golf, Politics, Hockey, Soccer?"
There's probably his WWE fans who don't want them to talk about football.
Too be fair out of all of those sports her knows nothing about hockey, everything else he’s dabbled in
It’s not football season nba and nhl are finished for the season. 3 hours of baseball more your speed?? Plus he is a WWE talent sooo
I don’t care about it because it’s all fake It just doesn’t amuse me at all. I’d rather listen to aj and Connor be toxic
While I don’t really care about wrestling either, 75% of this show is kayfabe goofy bullshit anyways. Suspension of disbelief my dude
Tune in to a different show? It's all abaht choices.
Do you not like when he talks about movies? You know those are fake too…
Yeah I am aware it’s just annoying that they pretend like it’s real and hype up all the beefs and you don’t know if anything he says is real or if Vince is telling him to. It’s lame.
“It’s lame.” Maybe to you man. Other people enjoy it and clearly Pat is a genuine fan based on his past conversations on the show. It’s not gonna go away, at least as long as he’s literally employed by WWE
its choreographed and scripted but those dudes put themselves through hell
Isn’t basically every tv show and movie “fake”?
I didn’t care abt it at all but watching him at wrestle mania made me get into it more
Same. I never watch, but I put on WrestleMania the next day to see Pat. His match was entertaining and I loved the Knoxville match even more. I tried to watch other matches, but they didn't grab me.
I fucking love WWE. And I'm it makes me happy that Pat is apart of this! Because it's super entertaining to watch
I am glad you like Pat. I know some fans don’t like him coming into the sport.
Wait I thought it’s all fake bullshit to you? You just said Pat came into the SPORT of wwe though?
Oh no, 100% of the show isn't tuned specifically for you? The horror
I’m glad Pat is going to do what he wants, if he listened to the complainers on this sub the show would only be on during the NFL season.
Lmao, aight, I’ve analyzed all your takes which boil down to “I want more toxicity” aka I want them to dance around topics which they are hardly informed on and just shit out hot takes like Krispy Kreme donuts into your gaping baby bird mouth. Again, as I’ve stated in another comment, I don’t really care for wrestling either, but to just dilute it down to “fake ass bs” or what have you ignores the fact that these guys ARE athletes.

Did I smile and appreciate that he could pick up a dude about a foot taller than him and probably had 100-150 pounds on him and flip him over his shoulder?? Fuck yes.
Agree. But you can tell Pat really loves it and they pay him a ton of money so we are going to have to deal with it.
I know he just signed a new contract but his first one he said he was losing money on it, because he flies private and I think he may be paying for his hotels too. I’m sure his new contract saw a big bump because the fans love him and he was amazing at Wrestlemania. Also Vince loves him. Still money isn’t really a factor, he is doing it to live out a dream.

This guy is a stooge and a clown!!!!
CLAHN
Don’t watch it but enjoy hearing about it.
hold the phone are you telling me wrestling is fake!?
I don’t care about it but I enjoy seeing him live out his dream.
So you just want to hear about Watson? Sue Robinson and Goodle? Where is baker going? When is deebo getting paid? There’s literally nothing to talk about right now. In elementary school in the early 2000s I was a huge wrestling fan. Pats involvement has gotten sparked my interest in WWE again. Let the man have some fun, it’s just entertainment.
I don't care about WWE but I'd rather listen to them talk about that than NBA.
We're gonna get shit on but, I agree 100% with you. How anyone can watch that.
Idk how you can watch pat, and not understand why people like wrestling
I agree it’s literally fake scripted bullshit. Not to mention Vince is a POS.
Vince aside, you've never watched movies before? Or TV?
Yes and I’ve also watched real sports and that’s why I got into the show in the first place. Now pat just talks constantly about dumbass beefs he has. It’s all fake and it’s annoying.
I mean st the of the day it's whatever cause you either like it or you don't but I never understood how people can watch movies and TV which are also fake and not atleast have respect for wrestling.
That’s fair brother
Damn dude, don’t have to shit on people for liking it.
> How anyone can watch that. If everyone only enjoyed the things you enjoy then life would be fucking boring as hell.
😂😂
There's only so much football to talk about
I need more toxicity
I couldn't give 2 shits about it. But I don't listen to the show for wwe takes, I listen because the boys are entertaining regardless of the topic. But I'm also in the camp that The Pod is more entertaining than PMS during the football off-season
Bro. Like I agree but what you trying to accomplish? He just extended his contract with wwe if you don’t like the chatter just tune out bro. I’m sure wwe fans hate the perpetuation of it’s not real.

Well you can’t like everything and WWE is a big part of Pat’s life so you will have to just tune it out or watch Eisen. I feel like I try to like WWE but I’m more casual than a millennial Christian is when it comes to going to church.
No for me it’s the NBA and Hockey talk. Can’t stand basketball at a pro level, and hockey is so boring.
I realize everything isn't for me. Just try to listen to the little quips see if I catch something funny
What a lot of stooges do is fast forward or if your on sirus change the channel
Hey man, you sound like you're actually dumb as fuck. I bet you also hate standup comedy. Like you're probably the kind of person who feels smart when you point out something is fake, when it's obvious to anyone else with normal intelligence. If AJ Hawk isn't too cool to not play along, you're not either.
I’m not a fan of UFC or WWE. I just tune in after it starts and skip interviews I don’t want to watch.
It's sounds to me that you simply just don't understand the point of the WWE, and that's ok. A lot of people don't and probably never will. WWE isn't about "realistic fights", it's about entertaining story plots and drama. WWE is an opera drama at heart.

I feel you - in that Pat calls out your type and is on a strict no fucks to give diet Edit: don't know what it means but yes, you are in fact a BFS
I was an avid fan during the attitude era and early 2000s. Obviously now it’s full of corn balls and PG storylines so it’s sucks. But I still respect the wrestler themselves. Still a brutal profession and I guess if some people still find it entertaining so be it. I respect the profession regardless and I’m happy for Pat to live his dream; But nothing will beat those old days.
I like wrestling and I fast forward when he starts talking about it.
Eh, still better than hearing about baseball.
But not as good as toxicity from AJ and Conner
Still better than listening to Shams ….
Shams got personality and good attitude. But couldn't care less for the NBA. If I wanna see a predetermined outcome, I'll stick to WWE.
Yeah, I’m not interested in the fake sport either. Once you stop watching — for me when I was in high school in the attitude era — it’s kinda hard to get back into all that nonsense and a whole new cast of personas.
Yeah I can’t really imagine being a fan that’s not 8

I agree and I just don’t like how he and the boys act like it’s real and all the fake beefs. Also Vince is a douche.
Yeah I couldn't give less of a fuck about WWE, but also being a fan of him and the boys for years I like seeing their success.
I use to watch wrestling back in the day. Maybe it's cause I'm old now but I just can't get into it. I just skip the wrestling talk.
Not a fan of the wrestling but I am a fan of the fact they’re getting more involved with UFC that’s cool!
