10 Unbelievable Wrestling Coincidences

7. The Every WrestleMania Ending In Zero Phenomenon

So far, every WrestleMania event that ended in zero has played host to a beloved technical wrestler capturing a World title.

At WrestleMania X, Bret Hart won the WWF Title for a second time when fans rejected the oppressive Lex Luger push and no longer believed in him after he celebrated a count-out win at SummerSlam '93 as if he'd won the big one.

At WrestleMania XX, Chris Benoit won the World Heavyweight Title at the expense of Triple H when the Reign of Terror had become, yes, bad for business.

At WrestleMania XXX, Daniel Bryan won the WWE World Heavyweight title after fans rejected the returning Batista's mega-push and even threatened to hijack or boycott his intended main event against Randy Orton.

Rather than being a strange coincidence, this piece of trivia might tell us that, over time, Vince's impulses failed him and he had to resort to servicing the fans instead of indulging in what he thought was best.

So what awaits us at WrestleMania XL?

Johnny Gargano winning the uWu from Omos after a long spell of boring matches?

Johnny will have to become beloved again first, which might prove difficult since Triple H think's he's a f*ckin' Saturday Night Live host these days.
