10 Wrestlers Cursed By Their Undefeated Streaks
8. Tatanka
Serviceable mid-1990s midcarder Tatanka was well-liked as a babyface for the first 18 months of his career, but WWE perhaps underestimated how much of that was because nobody had managed to secure his shoulders down for a 1-2-3.
It was telling that he'd not really achieved anything with all those wins. Non-title pinfall victories over Shawn Michaels ahead of their WrestleMania IX Intercontinental Championship scrap were as close as he came to actual gold during his personal golden era, and the "Lumbee Indian" spent much of the follow-through to that lumbering through meaningless squabbles with Bam Bam Bigelow before failing to make it to his first pay-per-view main event because of a maiden defeat.
Ludvig Borga's interference-riddled victory over the Native American was the sort of pro wrestling heartbreak that only really lasted until another hero emerged. In this case, it was as his direct replacement - The Undertaker took Tatanka's spot on the Lex Luger's Survivor Series team, and it took a heel turn on 'Made In The USA' himself to try to salvage what remained of a suddenly-sub-standard Superstar.
