10 WrestleMania Statistics WWE Don’t Want You To Know

9. A Big Fat 0

Dolph Ziggler WrestleMania
WWE Network

Dolph Ziggler has wrestled 0 singles matches on the Grandest Stage.

Dolph Ziggler is a two-time World Heavyweight Champion, a two-time United States Champion, a six-time Intercontinental Champion, a two-time Tag Tam Champion, and the winner of the 2012 Money In The Bank briefcase. But, because WrestleMania is presented as the zenith of sports entertainment, more so than any trinket, this gold haul really doesn't amount to much.

This statistic is a damning indictment of WWE's modern ennui; if the decorated midcard stalwart and one-time hardcore favourite can't convince management that he's worth one - one! - feature singles programme, what does that say about the state of the company, and its approach to storytelling and talent and fan relations? So little actually matters.

Sheamus, upon returning in 2015, assaulted Dolph Ziggler before claiming that "the era of underdogs is over". He didn't just "look stupid"; that era never began. Relegated to tags and multi-mans and darks, Ziggler is a Triple Crown Champion of Meaninglessness.

Let's also consider who has wrestled a singles match at WrestleMania: Uncle Elmer, The Barbarian, Aguila, Tori, Fandango...

This revealing statistic opens up a labyrinth of negligence...
