Pat McAfee rips fans' response to why he has missed WWE Raw commentary duties

Pat McAfee has notably been missing from WWE's 'Raw' for the past three weeks, and he explained on Monday what has him on the sidelines. 'I was getting pretty exhausted there,' he said on Monday's 'The Pat McAfee Show' episode as the reason for his absence. But many fans were not interested in what he had to say, or whether or not he appeared back on the show at all and caused McAfee to lash out a bit.
