Once again, the WWE website has published a list of "little-known" facts about WrestleMania history. And it comes as no surprise that most of them are common knowledge.
1. DDP was the chauffer who drove Rhythm 'N' Bruise (Honky Tonk Man and Greg Valentine) to the ring for their match at WM VI.
2. The Undertaker has defeated all 4 members of Evolution (Triple H, Ric Flair, Randy Orton and Batista) in singles matches.
3. The first WM did not have a major title match.
4. During WM IV, Miss Elizabeth wore a different dress to the ring for each of 'Macho Man' Randy Savage's matches that night. The article does not mention that Savage also had a different ring attire for each one too.
5. Of all of the 105 title matches ever held at WM, 53% of the matches saw the champion retain the title. However, whenever the last match of the night has been a title match, only 33% of the defending champions succeeded.
6. WM2 was held in three different cities. And one of them featured a battle royal with NFL football players as well as WWE Superstars.
7. Five Intercontinental Champions retained their titles despite losing a title defense. They were Shawn Michaels, Honky Tonk Man, Greg Valentine, Mr. Perfect and Jeff Jarrett.
8. The Undertaker holds the record for most WM matches (20), however, Bret Hart holds the record for most WM matches in consecutive years (12). Triple H had a streak of 11, which ended in 2006.
9. The Hardcore title match between Maven and Goldust never officially ended. Spike Dudley took advantage of the 24-7 rule to win the title mid-match. But as neither Maven nor Goldust pinned each other, their match never actually concluded. (For those of you who doubt this, a previous pay-per-view match between Big Show and Raven was interrupted by Billy Gunn winning the Hardcore Championship mid-match, but the match continued until a clear winner was determined between Big Show and Raven.
10. Howard Finkel can be seen onscreen at least once during every single WM so far.
