On his show today, Pat McAfee called wrestling fans on social media “dipsh-ts” and said that what he and Randy Orton want to accomplish is for their own good.
McAfee began by recapping what fans saw Friday night on SmackDown.
He said:
“Number one story coming out of the weekend? You guessed it: Randy Orton saving the business at WrestleMania. You know, it was a fun time on Friday night letting the world know that, yeah, you remember when Randy Orton came on the show at the Combine? You remember shortly after that I said I thought the business passed me by, and then all of a sudden Randy’s on the phone with somebody, motivating, dominating everybody.
He claimed he as a personal reason for wanting things to change.
He said:
“Maybe it was me telling him, ‘Hey, bud, my daughter is about to turn three years old. I would like her to be a wrestling fan, but I would like wrestling to be what wrestling’s supposed to be, especially at the top of the card. Six-foot-five, 275 pounds of perfection from the wrestling gods has been sitting here this whole time. Is he on TV all day, every day? Absolutely not. He was actually sent home for about six months recently. What? Why is this guy being sent home? We are saving the business when Randy wins his 15th world title at Mania, and the future of the business is going to be led by what the wrestling gods deemed perfection.’”
He then criticized the fans.
“I was asking the wrestling fans this weekend, ‘Hey, did you thank Randy Orton yet for what he’s going to do at WrestleMania for the future of wrestling?’ These IWC dipsh-ts have no idea this is for their own good. They have no idea what they’ve been missing. They have no idea what it’s supposed to look like. Now, we’re changing.”
He addressed criticism of the angle itself promising things will get better once Randy Orton is on top of WWE. He claimed fans are part of the problem at this point, not the solution.
He said:
“The IWC are not the biggest fans of what happened. They’re pretty upset about it, but they are a part of the problem. They are the ones that said, ‘Yeah, this is what it’s supposed to be, all this stuff.’ It’s like, nah! Let us show you what it’s supposed to be when Randy Orton is at the top of the marquee. It is a special thing to be seeing. It (Friday) was a very important, pivotal moment in the history of the business.”
