The legendary announcer Jim Ross once said that 'anything can happen in the WWF/WWE', and those watching over the years would be inclined to agree with him. Obviously, it was the man's job to get people to invest in what they were seeing, but there's a lot of truth to his hyperbolic words.

Over the course of WWF/WWE history, there's been literally thousands of matches, and countless numbers of promos, characters and storylines. The company itself is ripe for intriguing tidbits - for example, the fact that the WWE Divas Title is the only official championship in the history of the promotion to never be won at Madison Square Garden stands out as a weird little truth.

That means that everything from the European and Light-Heavyweight, to the Hardcore Title has been defended and lost in those hallowed halls, yet the Divas belt never has. That may seem relatively minor in the grand scheme of things, but even when there are countless facts out there that everybody knows, such as The Undertaker's memorable WrestleMania winning streak, there are those that slip the net somehow.

These curious little tidbits help form this article, one which explores 10 strange and unique WWE factoids. For example, if 'Taker has the most 'Mania wins, just who has the most losses? The answer to that question, along with many others, may just surprise a lot of people.

When it comes to professional wrestlers who instantly look like they'd be the beneficiary of a lengthy run with any given title, The Big Show must surely rank as one many fans would expect to be toting a championship. Part of this is down to just how fascinated Vince McMahon has been with size over the years, but the big man just looks like he could squash the competition.

Of course, that's suspending disbelief more than a little, but it's still shocking to learn that The Big Show holds the record for having the shortest reign in the history of the now-defunct World Heavyweight Championship. At the TLC Pay-Per-View in 2011, Show vanquished Mark Henry to bag the belt in a 'Chairs Match'.

Less than 2 complete minutes later, Daniel Bryan was crowned the new World Champion, cashing in his 'Money In The Bank' privileges. Officially, Show's reign was 1 minute 52 seconds, but in terms of 'match time', it was 45 seconds before he lost the strap, holding the title for the least amount of time.
