A WWE Hall Of Famer thinks Pat McAfee's commentary has regressed since his return.

Bully Ray believes Pat McAfee's commentary will become a problem to WWE if the loudmouth style he uses starts becoming too overbearing on Monday Night Raw.

The company Hall Of Famer told listeners via Busted Open Radio that Pat has started "forcing stuff", which isn't something he thought McAfee was doing during his first go-around behind the desk for WWE. In particular, Ray is concerned that Pat is speaking over Michael Cole during key moments.

That's a big no no for announcers, because it leads to a messy feel for fans watching from home. Working together as a team is crucial. This was never an issue for McAfee and Cole before, but Bully reckons Pat should pick his spots a little better.

Ray likened McAfee's recent performances to Tony Romo's call during the Super Bowl showdown between San Francisco and Kansas City last weekend. Romo caught some flak online for barking over play-by-play man Jim Nantz during important plays, and Bully thinks the same is true for Pat in WWE.

McAfee does bring a ton of energy to broadcasts that wasn't there before though. It'll be interesting to see if he responds here.
