10 Things WWE Wants You To Forget About No Mercy

10. The Undertaker's Losing Record

The Undertaker is often touted - by WWE and its fans - as being one of, if not the greatest performer in the company's history. His career and accomplishments speak for themselves and it's fair to say that WWE have done everything in their power to protect one of their biggest draws. That includes winning more often than not, especially when it comes to pay-per-view (21 WrestleManias on the bounce isn't bad, is it?).

When it comes to No Mercy, however, The Deadman hasn't always been the beneficiary of favoured booking. He's wrestled on seven No Mercy pay-per-views (main eventing three in a row between '02 and 04) but only won on one of those occasions - in 2001 against Booker T. The rest of the time, 'Taker was looking at the lights (or trying to break out of a casket/hearse).

In the UK version of the event in 1999, 'Taker was unsuccessful in his attempt to wrest the title away from Steve Austin in a triple threat match also involving Triple H, just as he was in '02 and 03 when he failed to upend Brock Lesnar in Hell in a Cell and Biker Chain matches. A spot of Heidenreich interference lead to him losing a 'Last Ride' match to JBL in '04 and a year later Randy and Bob Orton Jr. beat him at his own Casket Match game.

In 2006 he was disqualified in his match with Mr. Kennedy and then in 2008 he was knocked out by Big Show and then counted out in a Last Man Standing match. That's a pretty spotty resumé for someone who is touted as being some sort of mythical, practically unbeatable creature.

As an aside, 'Taker missed No Mercy 1999 (US Version) and 2000 due to injuries - he was recovering from a laundry list of injuries in '99 and then had emergency surgery on his gallbladder the year after.
