7 Survivor Series Statistics You Need To Know
2. An Exercise In Futility
For some wrestlers, Survivor Series does not bring back fond memories. Standing on the apron with four teammates, waiting for your turn to get into the match, knowing all the while that you’ve got a track record of being on the losing end of these contests. Let’s just say that these guys won’t be on a Survivor Series all-star team.
Most Losses: 6, Shawn Michaels
It’s hard to believe, but the Heartbreak Kid has been on the losing end six of the 11 Survivor Series matches he’s entered. A couple of these losses came during his early years as a member of The Rockers. But it stands to reason that if you’ve fought in the most matches, you have a good chance to lose more than anyone else.
For the runners-up, a dozen WWE superstars have been on a losing team four or five times at Survivor Series, including four Hall of Famers – Bret Hart, Ted DiBiase, Greg 'The Hammer' Valentine and Edge. Early-year elimination match fodder Hercules is also on the list. Randy Orton and Kane have five losses each.
Most Losses, No Wins: 4 (tie), Honky Tonk Man, Haku, Crush and Edge
Say what you want about the other wrestlers above, at least they occasionally were winners. This group was tainted. If they ended up on your team, you were screwed. At least Honky can brag about being the longest-reigning Intercontinental Champion of all time, right? And Edge turned out OK, correct?
Worst Winning percentage, at Least One Win: 20% (1 win, 4 losses), Viscera and Greg Valentine
Unlike the three losers above, they managed to be on a winning team once, with Viscera (then known as Mabel) surviving once.
