Sorry, Michael Cole, but Pat McAfee is most certainly not undefeated at WrestleMania, no matter how many times you repeat the lie and how much we wish it were true.

In the middle of his heart attack at his former broadcast colleague showing up at 'Mania to challenge Miz to an impromptu match, Cole mentioned that McAfee is one of two announcers (he’s the other) who are undefeated at WrestleMania. Pat defeated Austin Theory at last year’s event, so yeah, he did win his scheduled match at that edition of the Showcase of the Immortals.

But then crazy old Vince McMahon got in the ring and stripped down and demanded a match, where he slowly beat up a man half his age (with some help from Theory) and won.

So yeah, McAfee absolutely has lost at 'Mania, to a delusional, geriatric billionaire who allegedly paid millions in hush money for sexual advances and trysts. We’d all love to forget that moment, but it happened, Cole.
