McAfee, a former WWE commentator, went on a rant last week about the product of the WWE degrading, yearning to return to the ‘Attitude Era’ of Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker.
He mentioned the large number of WrestleMania 42 tickets still available as evidence.
CM Punk made McAfee aware that the product wasn’t the issue; ticket prices were.
The ticket prices for WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas next year (not including Ticketmaster fees):
• Section A on Floor — $8,998
• Section B on Floor — $3,868
• Section R101 — $2,200
• 100 Level — $1,495 – $1,303 – $1,174
• 200 Level — $1,303 – $1,174
• 300 Level — $1,174

Pat McAfee had a great response to seeing the name “Pat MAGAFee” trending online.
I just had a nice little dinner… Put girl dahn for bed.

The internet was heavily in favor of CM Punk, especially after McAfee made an out-of-touch statement about ticket availability and pricing:

CM Punk may be right. If Pat McAfee wants the WWE to return to the ‘Attitude Era’, maybe it should be an affordable experience for fans to see.
