10. McAfee Hesitating On WWE Lingo

WWE's lingo can be seriously restrictive for announcers.

During Nakamura vs. Apollo Crews, McAfee found that out the hard way when he routinely went to say that a victory would hand Naka a crack at the Intercontinental Title. Listen closely and you'd have heard Pat hesitate when he said, "...will 1000% get an Intercontinental Championship sh...sh...shot if he wins tonight".

Vince McMahon, so the story goes, isn't fond of the phrase, "title shot". Maybe McAfee knew he'd get scorched for saying that, but couldn't stop his tongue in time.
