So recently, in a discussion about The Streak, I was curious... sure, Taker had "THE STREAK", but who else had a Mania streak? Surely couldn't be more than a handful of people, right? So thanks to some research I did in a couple links provided by fellow FAN forumer Reflecto, I got my hands on a lost of win-loss records from all 29 Manias, and looked for everyone who's undefeated.
UPDATED FOR EASIER TO READ FORMAT. ALSO, I FORGOT CHYNA.
<21 Win>
Undertaker
<4 Win>
Rob Van Dam
<3 Win>
Animal
Ax
Hawk
Miz
Sable
<2 Win>
Chyna
Mr. T
Rick Rude (and one draw)
Shane McMahon
Tatanka
Terry Funk
Virgil
<1 Win>
Akebono
Alundra Blayze
Arn Anderson
Bad News Brown (and two draws)
Bill Goldberg
Boogey Man
Butterbean
Chuck Palumbo
Cpl. Kirchner
Dallas Page
David Otunga
Dean Ambrose
Dory Funk
Dusty Rhodes
Fabulous Moolah
Fandango
Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Genichiro Tenryu
Haiti Kid
Kerry Von Erich
Kij Kaito
Lawrence Taylor
Little Beaver
Marc Mero
Maria Menounos
Michael Cole
Mo
Rick Steiner
Roman Reigns
Sabu
Sato
Sandman
Sapphire
Scott Steiner
Seth Rollins
Snooki
Tama
Tanaka
Terri Runnels
Terry Taylor
Tom Zenk
Tommy Dreamer
Tully Blanchard
Vader (with one draw)
Vickie Guerrero
Wendi Richter
<0 Win> (No wins, no losses, just ONE draw, so technically they're both streak and anti-streak)
Billy Jack Haynes
David Sammartino
62 STREAKS.
However, if you end up listing only people who have won three matches or more...
Animal 3-0
Ax 3-0
Hawk 3-0
The Miz 3-0
Rob Van Dam 4-0
Sable 3-0
Undertaker 21-0
So The Road Warriors, Demolition Ax, The Miz and Sable all have three wins. But if Taker were to lose at WM30, The Streak now belongs to Rob Van Dam. And it's not an almost-streak, it's not a streak-minus-one, if Taker loses at WM30. It's either a streak or not a streak.
So that's one of the reasons, I feel, that Undertaker is not gonna lose the streak at WM30, same reason as one of the reasons it wasn't broken by Punk at WM29. Because if Taker's "The Streak" is broken, it's gone and dead. And the official "The Streak" NOW belongs to Rob Van Dam... who is currently under contract with a different company.
So if Taker even shows up at WM30, he'll tack on another victory. But what I think the WWE is going to do is, give Miz another victory, however meaningless and tainted it might be, at Mania, so that his record is 4-0. Tying RVD's streak. Then, because Miz is yet another star we can't stand that gets shoved down our throat again and again and again and just won't GO AWAY, at Wrestlemania 31, they're gonna have Miz break the streak. So he'll be the new Streak, at 5-0. And we'll have to put up with two more decades of his crap.
At least, that's what I think the WWE is going to do.
What I would do, is I would bring back Road Warrior Animal and Demoltion Ax, since Hawk has passed away, bring them back and do a Gangstanators type of gimmick.
Road Demolition.
The Legion of Demolition.
Demo-Legion.
Oooooh. I like that one.
