00:00Let's go!
00:17The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
00:22Introducing first, from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
00:26by way of Indianapolis, Indiana,
00:30weighing in at 240 pounds,
00:35Pan McAbee!
00:39I'll be honest tonight, Wade, I am extremely nervous.
00:48I'm extremely nervous.
00:50I feel sort of responsible for this man being in this predicament tonight.
00:55But I'm going to say what I said on the countdown show.
00:57I'm going to apologize for two things tonight.
01:02One is getting Pat McAbee in this predicament, standing up for me tonight.
01:06And I'm also going to apologize in advance.
01:08Because for the first time really in my career,
01:11I am going to be very biased tonight in the call of this match.
01:15Pat McAbee, I want him to win.
01:17I want him to embarrass Gunther tonight for Gunther abusing us,
01:21assaulting us, laying his hands on us,
01:23not allowing us as commentators to have opinions.
01:27We should be able to give our opinions out here tonight.
01:30And I want Pat McAbee to put Gunther in his place for what he did to me and him a number of weeks ago.
01:35Well, I appreciate the passion.
01:36I can't really argue with a single point you made,
01:39but I'll try and be the voice of reason at times during this match.
01:42Of course, I want McAbee to win too.
01:44But I've got to let you know,
01:46this match is brought to you by Karate Kid Legends.
01:50Two branches, one tree.
01:52See, Karate Kid Legends exclusively in theaters May 30th.
01:58Pat McAbee's had a number of matches,
02:00a handful in his career weight.
02:02He's been very successful.
02:03He's done it at SummerSlam.
02:04He's done it at WrestleMania.
02:06But listen,
02:07I understand he's going in there against a very vicious and a very violent man
02:14who's extremely upset over the fact that he is no longer world champion.
02:18He took that frustration out on Pat and I the night after WrestleMania,
02:22and it has led to this.
02:23Look at you.
02:24You've already got your jacket off.
02:25I've never even seen you quite so in gross.
02:28I'm sweating.
02:28In anybody's matchup.
02:30And things may finally be settling down in the mind of Pat McAbee.
02:38The penny may be dropping.
02:41The time for talk is over.
02:43And oh my God,
02:45what a predicament you find yourself in against this man,
02:50the ultimate destroyer.
02:51The problem is,
02:53is that you can't allow a man like Gunther to just run around and assault people.
03:00Wade,
03:00you and I,
03:00we have a job to do out here.
03:02You know,
03:0328 years I've been doing this.
03:0628 years I've sat at this desk.
03:08I've gotten beaten up.
03:09I've gotten my butt kicked.
03:11I've missed a handful of shows.
03:13I should be allowed to have some sort of opinion after 28 years.
03:18And now we're afraid to say anything that might piss somebody off.
03:22They're going to come over here and beat the hell out of us.
03:24You're morally right.
03:26But it doesn't make Pat McAfee getting in the ring with this man anywhere close to right.
03:34And his opponent from Vienna, Austria,
03:41weighing in at 250 pounds,
03:44the ring kettlebell,
03:46Come on, Pat.
03:47Come on, Pat.
03:54I mean,
03:55if there's anyone,
03:56if there's anyone that can pull this off,
03:58I believe it's Pat McAfee.
03:59Everything he's done in his life,
04:01his career to get to this point,
04:04hard worker,
04:06came from nothing,
04:07built an empire,
04:09has shown incredible athleticism in the ring,
04:12and Pat is in a tremendous shape and ready to go.
04:15Come on, Pat.
04:16Come on.
04:17When it comes to Pat,
04:18I'm like you.
04:18I love the loyalty.
04:20I love the bravery.
04:21I love the attitude.
04:23But I hate the chances of this going remotely well.
04:27Yeah, but it gives me no happiness to admit that.
04:29Wait, what if Gunther takes him lightly?
04:31What if he,
04:32he's already seen the smirk and smile on his face?
04:34Well,
04:35the goal in ability in ring between these two,
04:38I feel like Gunther can take Pat lightly and still win.
04:44Well,
04:45that's what started it all for us
04:46when they've mentioned the fact that
04:49Gunther tapped out to Jey Uso
04:51to lose his world title at WrestleMania.
04:53Well,
04:53that's not doing Pat McAfee any favors right now,
04:56reminding and goading this big Austrian powerhouse,
05:01lighting that fuse inside the mind of Gunther.
05:05It's going to be an explosion.
05:07The points we're making,
05:08Wade,
05:08I think are valid.
05:09I mean,
05:09at WrestleMania a year ago,
05:11couldn't get the job done against Sami Zayn,
05:13one of the biggest upsets in WrestleMania history.
05:14Same thing happened this year against Jey Uso
05:16because Gunther looked past both of those men,
05:19didn't take them seriously perhaps,
05:21and now just slinging Pat across the ring.
05:26Cole,
05:27you're absolutely right.
05:28Look,
05:29Gunther has had
05:31fewer than a handful of defeats
05:34in his entire time in WWE.
05:37You can pretty much space them out
05:39by about 12 months,
05:40and you're telling me
05:41two are going to come back to back
05:43within three weeks of each other.
05:44I'm not buying it.
05:45Well,
05:46McAfee has ended a real match
05:47in what,
05:47a couple of years,
05:48and he's been there
05:49with this killer Gunther
05:50who's now just
05:51brutalizing him here
05:53in the early going,
05:54and
05:54I don't know what,
05:57I know why Pat's in there.
06:01Pat acts first
06:02and thinks second.
06:03It's why he's been so successful
06:05in everything he's ever tried,
06:07but occasionally
06:09there is an exception
06:10and this may be made
06:11way too far.
06:13Wow.
06:14Went to the top
06:15and Pat able to,
06:16to move away.
06:19Pat showing a little bit of life here.
06:23Over 17,000
06:24on their feet for McAfee.
06:27But Gunther's just enjoying
06:28the sport of this right now,
06:30but make no mistake,
06:31tonight is not about sport,
06:32it's about soothing
06:33the damaged ego
06:34of Gunther.
06:37Let's go, Pat.
06:40Collar and elbow tie up.
06:42Now, McAfee with a headlock.
06:47Official in this matchup,
06:49Dan Engler,
06:50and now
06:50sent out to the apron.
06:52Pat hanging on.
06:53Interesting that,
06:58Pat,
07:01with a clean break,
07:02and now just mocked
07:03by Gunther
07:04and a big right!
07:05Oh, all right,
07:05that'll wake up.
07:06And that could be,
07:07and again,
07:08you just see the inexperience
07:09of Pat as he tried
07:10to come up over the top
07:11and over exuberance.
07:13Oh, goodness!
07:13Oh, goodness!
07:13Pat McAfee,
07:20welcome to the greatest,
07:22most unstoppable force
07:24Europe has ever created.
07:28Yeah,
07:28and overzealousness
07:29is the way to put it.
07:30I mean,
07:30Pat can't get cute here.
07:31He's just got to
07:32try to take the fight
07:33to Gunther
07:33or this is going to happen.
07:35And Gunther now
07:35with a kick right to the shoulder
07:36and things
07:37that's about to get nasty here.
07:45Pat, though,
07:46not giving up.
07:47Pat with a couple lefts,
07:49some body shots to Gunther,
07:50right here now
07:51on the top of his own,
07:53and Gunther wants some more!
07:54It's just bouncing off Gunther!
07:56Bring it, Pat!
07:57Bring it!
07:59Another one!
08:00Another one!
08:01Oh, oh!
08:01And that one just dropped McAfee.
08:05I mean,
08:05the gulp in power,
08:06between the shots
08:07from these two
08:08is so obvious.
08:10About 10 unanswered
08:12from McAfee.
08:14And watch yourself here,
08:15Cole.
08:15Don't get too excited.
08:17Stay in your lane.
08:19I mean that
08:19for your own protection.
08:25I can only imagine
08:26what that shot
08:27feels like, Wade.
08:28I never want to find out.
08:30I hope Pat
08:32is in a position
08:34to one day
08:35tell us
08:36I don't even think
08:44Pat knows where he's at.
08:44Now there's another
08:46top-dropping Pat.
08:48And look,
08:48I know you're excited,
08:49Cole,
08:50but as the seconds
08:50tick by a victory
08:52here for Pat McAfee.
08:53What does this prove?
08:54Seriously.
08:55What does any of this
08:56prove for you?
08:58Just pin him
08:58and be done with it.
09:00Just move on.
09:01I don't know
09:01if you should be
09:02talking back at Gunther
09:03at this point.
09:03I'm not talking back to him.
09:04I'm telling him
09:05to have some mercy
09:06and just finish this thing.
09:08Look,
09:08the aim of the game
09:09is to stay out of Gunther's way.
09:11Both you and McAfee
09:12have failed miserably
09:13at that,
09:14and these are the consequences.
09:15on a shoulder tackle
09:19just drops McAfee.
09:20Went for the elbow.
09:21Pat moves out of harm's way.
09:22And now Pat with a kick.
09:23Remember,
09:24former Pro Bowl punter
09:26kicked to the spine.
09:28Pat a bit shocked
09:29as Gunther
09:29makes it back to his feet.
09:31Pat breathing pretty heavy here.
09:33You would expect that.
09:34Snap there now.
09:35And Gunther with a kick
09:36to the spine of his own.
09:37Well,
09:37I'll tell you right now,
09:38you could be a top marathon runner,
09:40a brilliant NFL player,
09:41a premiership footballer.
09:43You don't have the same
09:44kind of in-ring wind
09:46as Gunther has
09:48at this point.
09:48Come on, Pat.
09:50Come on.
09:57Come on,
09:57dig down deep one time.
10:00One big blow.
10:01Come on, Pat.
10:01What do you got left?
10:03Come on, Pat.
10:04Come on, Pat.
10:08Well, Pat's filling his feet
10:09after that chop.
10:10Pat delivered another one
10:11on this for Christmas.
10:13Plants, McAfee.
10:14Cover him.
10:15Cover him.
10:16No, you cover him.
10:19Gunther's inviting you in,
10:21Cole.
10:21I suggest you sit
10:22your backside down
10:24on that chair
10:25and break eye contact.
10:29Take a look at this.
10:30Just when a chop
10:31bounced off
10:32Gunther,
10:34the reply was swift.
10:35A big size 15 boot
10:38to the kisser
10:38of McAfee.
10:40Again.
10:42Come on, Pat.
10:43Come on.
10:43You do feel like
10:44Gunther can end this
10:46at a moment's notice
10:47what he wished to,
10:48but I think he's
10:49enjoying this too much.
10:51The fans are all over him, Pat.
10:53Come on.
10:53Why do you end the fight?
11:00Let's end it.
11:03Oh!
11:05Well, that won't
11:06Gunther up.
11:08And a German suplex
11:09released.
11:10And things are starting
11:11to get ugly.
11:12Yeah, it's a full-body
11:13assault on Pat McAfee.
11:15Pin him.
11:15Just pin him.
11:15Can you end this thing,
11:16please?
11:18Gunther just end
11:19the damn match.
11:20The more you ask,
11:21the less likely
11:21he is to do so, Cole.
11:23What has he got
11:24to prove here?
11:25Wait, he's already
11:25beat the hell
11:26out of the guy.
11:28I mean,
11:28he can end it right here.
11:30Making a point.
11:31He is beyond reproach
11:33from mere mortals
11:34on the desk.
11:35And here we go.
11:37The lights are fading out.
11:38Thanks for coming,
11:39Pat McAfee.
11:40Immersively,
11:41this one
11:42is on its way
11:44to being...
11:44Wait, no!
11:45Pat's trying
11:46to fight out of this.
11:48Pat said he was
11:48trying to talk
11:49to some people
11:49about how to get
11:50out of this hole.
11:51Another German
11:51suplex to McAfee.
11:54Okay.
11:55Pin him.
11:56One, two, three.
11:57Just end this thing.
11:58Just end it.
11:59Cole, you're appealing
12:00for compassion.
12:01He's made his point.
12:02I get you.
12:03Okay?
12:04Gunther's mind
12:05is a compassion-free zone
12:06at this point.
12:08The guy that...
12:09He's made his point.
12:11You're appealing
12:12to logic,
12:12but it's falling
12:13on deaf ears.
12:15Okay.
12:20No,
12:21I ticked you off
12:22and this match
12:23now
12:24and be done
12:24with it all.
12:29Jeez.
12:30You have to bite
12:31your tongue
12:32when you're in
12:32close proximity
12:33to Gunther at the moment.
12:34Just ask him
12:35to end the match,
12:35Wade.
12:36I get it.
12:36I'm not saying anything.
12:37I get it.
12:39This has never been
12:40about the one,
12:41two, three for Gunther.
12:42He knows he's got
12:43that in the bag
12:43whenever he feels like it.
12:45This is now
12:46a public spectacle.
12:50Public flogging
12:51is what it is.
12:53Come on, Pat!
12:56They're trying to...
12:57Pat's trying to hang on.
12:59Fans coming to life here.
13:01Pat's trying to stick
13:01in this thing.
13:03Elbow well placed.
13:05Here comes Pat.
13:05Come on, Pat.
13:06Little rally here.
13:07Little rally.
13:09You've been against
13:09the wall before.
13:10You've been against
13:11the wall before.
13:11Come on.
13:12Gunther's wrong.
13:13Come on, Pat.
13:14McAfee.
13:15Oh, landed on his feet.
13:16Gunther from behind.
13:17Pat lands on his feet again.
13:19Kick right to the spine.
13:21Here comes McAfee.
13:22Come on, Pat.
13:23Come on, Pat.
13:23Come on.
13:25Do something here.
13:26Put to the jaw.
13:28Cover.
13:28Cover.
13:29And a kick out.
13:31And Gunther quickly
13:32back to his feet
13:33and right in McAfee's face.
13:34Good job.
13:34Pat McAfee
13:35has a foot like a traction engine
13:37capable of an 85-yard punt.
13:40And it just bounced up
13:42the steel jaw of Gunther.
13:44We knew this wasn't going to be pretty.
13:46It wasn't going to be
13:47a five-star wrestling match.
13:49It was going to be a vicious fight.
13:51And now Gunther begging for more from Pat.
13:53And Pat delivering chop after chop.
13:55Won by Gunther again.
13:56Pat still on his feet.
13:58How much does Pat have left?
13:59That was a big chop by Pat.
14:01Pat still on his feet.
14:01Still hanging in there.
14:02Pat giving it everything he has.
14:04Big right.
14:05Come on, Pat.
14:06Pat McAfee has already blown away expectations.
14:10Pat, you've already morally won this.
14:12I completely agree.
14:13My God.
14:14And McAfee's still in this.
14:16Slugging it away with Gunther.
14:17Pat McAfee may have the upper hand here.
14:19And Gunther's covering up.
14:21And Pat.
14:22Oh, my God.
14:22Big kick.
14:23Gunther's in trouble again.
14:24McAfee again with a super kick.
14:26Gunther's running.
14:27Finish the job, Pat.
14:30Oh, caught.
14:30Oh.
14:31And now Gunther going for a power bomb on McAfee.
14:33And he delivers it.
14:34And the damn match just ended now.
14:37Enough of this.
14:37End the match.
14:39You got him beat.
14:40Enough of it.
14:41You got him beat.
14:43Well, Gunther getting wobbled there might be as good as it gets for McAfee.
14:47And now the torturous Boston Crab applied center of the ring.
14:52Pat McAfee swore blind he would never tap out.
14:56Pat, Cole, sit down, Cole.
14:58Cole, get back here.
14:59What are you doing?
15:01Michael Cole has left it down.
15:03That's the absolute nutcase.
15:05McAfee coming back alive.
15:08Inches away from that bottom row.
15:10But the ring general Gunther transitions the hole.
15:14And now staring into the eyes of Pat McAfee's best buddy, Michael Cole.
15:21Continuing to torture Pat McAfee.
15:25And Cole, get the hell out of danger.
15:32Oh, God.
15:34I cannot help you from here.
15:37Oh, my God.
15:38That is a 58-year-old man.
15:40Get the hell out of him, Gunther.
15:50What the hell are you doing?
15:55Oh, my God.
15:57Oh, my God.
15:59Get on him, McAfee.
16:02Well, mercifully, somehow, Michael Cole has scrambled out of there.
16:06As Gunther's still in hot pursuit.
16:12Turns his back on Pat McAfee with the old car.
16:15Oh, wrong.
16:16Oh, two count.
16:19Almost the biggest shock of all time in this industry.
16:23And Michael Cole still in too close proximity to Gunther as this match continues.
16:28Goal.
16:29Goal.
16:32Cole grabbing the spot.
16:33Regist.
16:35Oh, lateral press.
16:36Two and three quarters.
16:40And Gunther now furious, completely enraged, focused on Michael Cole.
16:46Sleeper, I'm behind.
16:48Sleeper locked in deep on the ring general.
16:52Is Gunther going to fade?
16:53Escapes.
16:54massive lariat connected with the jaw of Pat McAfee
16:59and once again the class, the power, the strength
17:05of this Austrian destroyer coming to the full
17:08and Pat McAfee is now being put to the sword
17:12there's simply no way I'll give up Pat
17:16and Pat McAfee somehow continuing to attempt
17:23to fight through this, the inevitable
17:26inevitable demise, Gunther getting the hocks in deep
17:31the fun is truly over, Pat McAfee's face
17:35turning pups, get in there referee and just end this tactic
17:38oh god Pat
17:41well it's miraculous
17:46and Pat McAfee summoning strength from god knows where
17:52fighting out of this
17:55with his face turned and completely in human shape
18:02just ended Pat, give up
18:09his eyes dark black pitch and that is over
18:12get Pat McAfee some medical attention immediately
18:17here is your winner
18:19the regional counter
18:24well Comfort beats Pat McAfee here at Backlash
