10 Fascinating WWE WrestleMania 6 Facts
6. It Featured Mr. Perfect's First Nationally-Televised Loss
House shows don't count, the traditional way of thinking goes. Mr. Perfect was undefeated on WWE television for more than a year and a half, accurately living up to his moniker. That's why his loss to Beefcake at WrestleMania 6 was treated in some ways like a fluke by the commentary team, somewhat surprised that even an upper-midcarder like "The Barber" could get one over on Perfect.
In actuality, Perfect not only lost a number of house show bouts to the likes of Hogan, Warrior, and even Jim Duggan for some time, he'd also lost a Madison Square Garden match to Warrior 13 days before WrestleMania, a match that aired exclusively in the New York market. Still, deferring to the story WWE wanted to tell, Beefcake was a streak-conqueror in his own right.
Perfect's perfect record ended that night to many, though others knew better.
