30 Surprising WWE Facts You Probably Didn't Know

30. 'Mr. WrestleMania' Has WrestleMania Record Of 6-11

For years, even though he’s been retired for six of them, Shawn Michaels has been known as Mr. WrestleMania. It’s a name given to him by the WWE in testament to the fact that he regularly stole the show at the biggest, baddest show of them all

But then that’s not really the point, is it? Given that, within the context of its own storylines, the WWE is a legitimate fighting organisation on the same level at the UFC, within those storylines it shouldn’t matter how phenomenally entertaining the Heartbreak Kid could be at WrestleMania.

What matters is whether he won or not… and ‘Mr. WrestleMania’ made a habit of losing at the event he was nicknamed after.

Out of seventeen matches on the grandest stage of them all, Michaels only won six. That’s eleven matches he’s lost in front of the WWF/E’s biggest crowd: two thirds of the time, he’s come out to great fanfare, only to stare at the lights for someone the company felt was more important on that given day.

I hereby propose renaming the Second Greatest Wrestler Of All Time to ‘Mr. Suckfest’. Those can be the two words he has for you from now on.
