WrestleMania Fun Facts

WrestleMania Fun Facts I Came Up With

We all know that the Undertaker is 17-0 at WrestleMania and puts his streak on the line against Shawn Michaels in a few weeks. But aside from the Undertaker, how do the other main eventers stack up at WM? After the Undertaker, who has the highest percentage of wins? Who has a surprising amount of losses?


Shawn Michaels:
The Undertaker's legendary opponent, despite having the moniker "Mr. WrestleMania" has a surprisingly poor record at WrestleMania. HBK is 6-10, a paltry 38%. He's also a fairly anemic 2-5 in championship matches. Not looking good for HBK.


Batista vs. Cena:
Batista's WM record is 3-1 while Cena's is 5-1. Interestingly enough, despite the one loss, Cena has never been pinned at WrestleMania (he lost a Triple Threat against Orton and Triple H at WM24 when Triple H got pinned). Also, since his WM20 debut, John Cena has challenged for a title every year.


Jericho vs. Edge:
Jericho's record is 3-4-2. The two at the end are two losses in Money in the Bank where he didn't technically lose, just didn't win. Same goes for Edge and his 5-2-1 record. Edge had a nice little winning streak going for himself at 5-0 until Undertaker choked his face at WM24. Ah well.


Championship Ability
: Obviously, the Undertaker is 100% effective when he gets a title opportunity at WM. He beat Sycho Sid, Batista, and Edge for World title wins. And if you put John Cena in a title match, his percentage is 83% that he'll walk out champ. Third best? Kane at 75%. He's won or defended the Hardcore, Tag Team, and ECW titles successfully, only failing to win the Tag titles off of Chief Morley and Lance Storm at WM19.

Other Winners and Losers:
The Big Show is only 1-9 at WM(!) and has never won a singles match. His only win came at WM22 when he was tag team champions with Kane and they took down Carlito and Chris Masters.

Vince McMahon has had three WrestleMania matches, all of which he has lost (vs. Shane McMahon, Hulk Hogan, and HBK). Don't expect him to pick up his first win against Bret Hart.


Speaking of the Hitman, this will be Bret Hart's first WrestleMania since 1997 when he beat Stone Cold Steve Austin to the point of unconsciousness at WM13.


CM Punk has been in three WrestleManias and has only ever participated in the annual Money in the Bank match which he has won twice. Technically that makes him 2-1, but like Cena, he's never been pinned. His projected match against Rey Mysterio will be his first one on one match-up.

Edge hasn't won at WM since 2006 when he beat Mick Foley. Shelton Benjamin hasn't won since 2003. MVP has been to three WMs and he's still looking for his first win. Also looking for their first WM wins are John Morrison, The Miz, and Kofi Kingston.
