We’ve seen a few people making public bets that they would come to regret, some of whom refused to pay up when they lost.

WWE announcer Michael Cole didn’t make quite as extreme a bet with fellow Raw broadcaster Pat McAfee. Back in May, when McAfee’s Indiana Pacers and Cole’s beloved New York Knicks advanced to the NBA Eastern Conference Finals, the two made an on-air proposition. If the Knicks won the series, McAfee would have to announce Raw in a full suit (which surely horrified him). If the Pacers won, Cole would have to announce Raw in a tank top.

It’s unclear if anyone at WWE will bet against McAfee when the Pacers take on the Oklahoma City Thunder in the finals. If only Good Ol’ JR were still with the company…
