Pat McAfee on his Wrestlemania Match/Segment

[TheGreatShowtime]

Okay, but 1....He'd have to know how to take a Stunner. It's still a move where the other person cooperates.

Pat's not an idiot, breh. He has been training for years with Rip Rogers at OVW. He just didn't know all the chaos of Stone Cold showing up was going to happen. He's even said that he has no idea what's going on during Smackdown because they want him to have genuine reactions to things.

Mick Foley's reaction perfectly summarizes what everyone thought of that stunner of Vince.

Vince:

YOU LAUGHING AT ME MICK?! Ok tell ya what.... I'm gonna hire you back and bring your son so I can have Austin Theory on Raw come out and CANE DEWEY pal!

Well i think they all do that to a degree. JR said he knew outcomes, but that was usually it. And he was the head of talent, so he had to know that much

But I can see Vince just giving Pat an outline and freestyle the rest

They like to keep some things from guys so they can get a genuine reaction. I know I've heard or seen it somewhere before in some documentary.

i could see them giving a basic outline of things, but they probably want there to be a little bit of geniune surprise on the performers faces.

Breh said he didn't even know about the cheerleaders being out there

I could honestly see Vince ribbing Pat by having him go over Theory, but then having Vince surprise him with the 1 on 1 - and actually not knowing that part beforehand. Maybe it was just joked initially. The ref is there to communicate all the audibles anyway, so prob gave him the download as it was going down. Same with Austin. We've all play fighted giving/taking a Stunner and Pat is fully trained by now. I'm sure he was ready for it. The experience must have been surreal for him though.

What surprised me more is him talking about not knowing how important Wrestlemania attire was for the wrestlers. I mean that shyt is documented every year and you see it in the outfits every Wrestlemania

Dudes in here thinking he didnt know he was going to get closelined by a 8000 yr old Vince

Dude is workin, he is dope though and was a highlight of the show to me.

The ultimate genuine reaction was Bret Hart

I'm sure Vince knew that loogie was coming

 

[Brad Piff]

Nobody should be surprised he knew how to sell the stunner so well. If you train at a wrestling school I’m sure you take a million stunners over the course of your training. Hell how many of us have done it just playing around with our friends and family.
