8 Things We Learned From Pat McAfee On Stephanie McMahon's WWE Show

8. His Career Day Aspiration At School Was To Be “Rich”

What did you jot down during career day at school? Police? Medic? WWE World Heavyweight Champion? They say all answers are valid, but then teachers go into tut tut mode when children start daydreaming or reach for the stars. Pat McAfee found that out firsthand when his school asked everyone to tell all on what they wanted to be when they were older.

Some in the class said firefighters or even teachers (the little suck-ups!), but McAfee hilariously wrote "rich" on his piece of paper. Honestly, the balls on this kid. His teach said that was pretty shallow, and they likely encouraged him to pick something else, but Pat wouldn't budge or change it. He had a good reason for coveting financial security though.

McAfee told Stephanie that he didn't want to walk into stores and struggle to pay for things like his mother. From a really young age, Pat had one goal in mind: "I wanted to change the trajectory of my family tree”. There's actually something pretty sweet about that - McAfee only wanted a better life for his family, and he knew earning some serious cash could make everybody more comfortable long-term.

McMahon was a little taken aback by Pat's outlook as a kid. Being fair, she had a completely different upbringing. Growing up, Steph wanted for pretty much nothing once her mother and father began reaping the rewards of their WWF/WWE empire with blockbuster events like WrestleMania. Meanwhile, in the more humble surroundings of Plum, Pennsylvania, the McAfee family had to count their pennies.

Pat was determined to change that as quickly as he could.
