10 Things You Didn’t Know About WWE WrestleMania
4. Three Others Have Crossed Three Decades
Only three other workers can say they've come close to matching Austin's stat.
The Undertaker headlined across three separate decades in 1997, 2008 and 2010 (just making it in). Similarly, Shawn Michaels did so in 1996 and 1998, 2004 and 2007, and again in 2010. Meanwhile, The Rock sneaks in there for his performances in 1999, 2000 and 2001, and those twin matches with John Cena in 2012 and 2013.
Those three-decade-spanning headline appearances may never be matched unless JC returns to the big time in between filming commitments. Or, maybe The Rock will march out in front of everybody by adding a fourth decade to his own impressive list.
Big Dwayne could've done that this very year had he been able to free up time on his Hollywood schedule to wrestle Roman Reigns at 'Mania 39. Instead, it's Royal Rumble winner Cody Rhodes who gets the nod. He's come a long way since jobbing to Big Show in just over five minutes.
