Top 10 Most Interesting Facts About WrestleMania
"The Grandest Stage of Them All", " The Showcase of the Immortals ", "The Show of Shows"! It is once again WrestleMania season as of the making of this list and WrestleMania 37 is right around the corner. Let's take a look at some interesting and fun facts about the biggest wrestling event of the year.
Despite being very successful in WWE, Triple H has the most losses at the show of shows with a record of 10 wins and 13 losses.
At least he has also won many times, so there is no shame in that.
Most people know Daniel Bryan competed twice at WrestleMania XXX, but younger fans probably don't know that Randy Savage competed four times in one night in a tournament for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania IV, which holds the record.
While Vince McMahon conceptualized and developed the idea for the show, it was former announcer and WWE Hall of Famer Howard Finkel who came up with the name "WrestleMania."
I did not know that. That's pretty cool.
Not many champions can say they successfully defended their title in the main event of WrestleMania. It seems the odds favor the challengers.
That number will probably keep getting bigger.
Vince McMahon decided to hold the event in three different cities at the same time and combine them into one presentation to be broadcast live on pay-per-view and closed-circuit television. Each venue would hold four matches with its own separate main event and undercard. The venues were the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York. The Rosemont Horizon (now Allstate Arena) in the Chicago suburb of Rosemont, Illinois. And the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena in Los Angeles.
The Hulkster was the WWF's biggest attraction for years, so it's not surprising that he main evented WrestleMania a total of eight times, the most of any WWE Superstar. He headlined WrestleMania I to IX, with the exception of WrestleMania IV.
Considering that Hulk Hogan is the first thing that comes to mind for many people when it comes to wrestling, this is hardly surprising.
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin is a multiple-time world champion, but all of Austin's championship title bouts, specifically against Shawn Michaels and twice against The Rock, were all for the title but never to defend it.
WWE wanted to ensure that all the seats at the Pontiac Silverdome were filled, so it excluded the entire state of Michigan from pay-per-view access to the event. The only way to view the show was by watching it live in the stadium.
The Honky Tonk Man made his WrestleMania VI entrance in a pink Cadillac, and the man behind the wheel was the future WCW star and WWE Hall of Famer Diamond Dallas Page.
Twelve years later, DDP competed in his first WrestleMania match at WrestleMania X8, which was also held at the Toronto SkyDome, the same building where WrestleMania VI took place.
This is a record I'm sure no one in WWE will ever break.
All other WrestleMania events took place on a Sunday, but WrestleMania II is the only one to take place on a Monday (until WWE made the show a two-night event in 2020).
The closest singles match was the catfight, but you really can't count that since the only way to win was to throw your opponent out of the ring.
After once again failing to win on the grandest stage, it's stunning to see The Boss build a losing record since first appearing at WrestleMania 32. Look out, Undertaker! Someone might be defining their career for the wrong reasons. Losses like this are staggering.
Edge retained the world title against Alberto Del Rio, and The Miz retained the WWE title against John Cena with help from The Rock.
