Pat McAfee loves working with his SmackDown broadcast partner Michael Cole.

McAfee was a guest on Busted Open Radio this week with Dave LaGreca and Bully Ray to discuss a wide variety of subjects. When asked about working with Michael Cole on SmackDown, McAfee couldn't put his broadcast partner over hard enough. He went as far as to say that Cole could call a show with a bag if he had to.

"Michael Cole is the GOAT, by the way. He could do that show with anybody," Pat McAfee said. "He could do that show with a bag if he had to, and he proved that after I got escorted out after beating the hell out of Austin Theory. He was able to call his own match."

Pat McAfee on the longevity Michael Cole has had in WWE

Michael Cole has been a part of WWE for over two decades now, and McAfee believes he's one of the best commentators the company has ever had.

"He’s coming up on 25 years doing that job, he’s only missed two shows," Pat McAfee said. "You’re talking about one of the most experienced, one of the best workers, and a man who is an actual journalist who has the professionalism to go through some bulls**t."

McAfee is scheduled to wrestle Austin Theory on night two of WrestleMania 38. It's unknown if he will be in the broadcast booth or not with Michael Cole for the SmackDown matches or if he'll be backstage preparing for his match instead.
