10 More Fascinating WWE WrestleMania Facts You Didn't Know

4. The Big Boss Man Was The First Wrestler To Win A Match At WrestleMania In Three Different Decades

As with the prior Michaels example, this one barely satisfies the qualifying checklist, but it still works. When Michaels took the fall to Boss Man and Akeem at WrestleMania V in 1989, that doubled as Boss Man's first WrestleMania victory.

He'd win his next three in the nineties, beating Akeem by pinfall in 1990, followed by wins over Mr. Perfect (by disqualification) in 1991, and as part of an eight-man tag in 1992. Boss Man left the company in early-1993, not returning until the heart of the Attitude Era.

Boss Man also won the first WrestleMania match of the 2000s, when he and Bull Buchanan beat The Godfather and D-Lo Brown to kick off WrestleMania 2000 in Anaheim. That's some longevity, no?
