The Complete A-Z Of WrestleMania

Since the first ever incarnation of the 'Showcase of the Immortals', WrestleMania has played host to several high profile lightening-quick matches, with the industry's biggest stage proving an ideal location for numerous impactful victories.

Though apparent to absolutely anybody with a watch, King Kong Bundy's WrestleMania 1 squash of Special Delivery Jones was slightly longer than the announced nine seconds, but it was quick enough to ensure that Bundy looked a killer.

The Red Rooster and The Hart Foundation were unlikely beneficiaries of the stopwatch treatment too, with their dominant displays over Bobby Heenan and The Bolsheviks at WrestleMania 5 and 6 respectively failing to last even a minute.

JBL retired against Rey Mysterio after a mere 21 seconds, as 'The Biggest Little Man' took his United States Title at WrestleMania 25. Alongside several other squashes, the three most famous punctuated clashes in show history all miraculously decided titles.

Hulk Hogan took only 22 seconds to demolish Yokozuna at WrestleMania 9, but even that was topped by Sheamus' 18-second victory over Daniel Bryan at WrestleMania 28. And those two still can't match the record set by Kane in 2008, when he took Chavo Guerrero's ECW Title in just 11 seconds.
