Number Of TV Matches: 23

Ditto for this guy, although he also worked a bevvy of squashes early on.

Brock Lesnar hammered Jeff Hardy on his official TV debut match at Backlash 2002. Approx four months later, 'The Next Big Thing' beat The Rock to win his first World Title (the Undisputed Title, no less) at SummerSlam. Perhaps shockingly, Brock technically didn't go unbeaten until winning the big belt.

Rob Van Dam won by disqualification during several Intercontinental Title clashes on TV, but it was obvious Lesnar was a Vince McMahon pet project and would be pushed to the moon. He was just 23 matches into his run on telly when he pinned Rocky to make WWE history.
