Listening to Miz brag for years about main eventing Wrestlemania got me thinking about how how few (if any?) make the same boast, even if they've main evented multiple Wrestlemanias. Being hot for one season and main eventing Mania is one thing. It's something else to have lasting power and sustain that heat to main event multiple Wrestlemanias, so here's some food for thought; a list of all wrestlers who have main evented Wrestlemania on multiple occasions. Note what I consider to be the main event is the final match of the card...double and triple main events aren't counted. Although I did include Hogan in the main event of WM9 along with Bret and Yoko. Congrats to all the following...YOU JUST MADE THE LIST!
Hulk Hogan: 8
Triple H: 7
John Cena: 5
Shawn Michaels: 5
The Rock: 5
Undertaker: 4
Bret Hart: 3
Steve Austin: 3
Roman Reigns: 3
Yokozuna: 2
Sid (yes, seriously): 2
Randy Orton: 2
Batista: 2
Randy Savage: 2
Brock Lesnar: 2

I say this as a big ol' HHH fan and a part time Cena hater, but HHH having more WM main events than Cena is weird.

Reigns is already level with Austin and next year will surpass him. That's insane. And when you think that Bryan got 1 and Punk never got any..no wonder they're mad at the WWE. |

If the fact Reigns will surpass Austin, equal Taker and half Hogan next year, all while being massively rejected, doesn't prove to WWE this is just not working with him, then nothing will.
Also, in The Rock's 'main' run he only main evented 3, so Reigns is equal to his cousin at Wrestlemania X7.. imagine "My Way" set to Austin vs smiling dork Rocky Maivia.. then Rocky Maivia wins clean.

Despite defending the WWF Title at 8 and retiring at 24, Flair has zero.

Does this count WM 9 as a main event for Hogan? In that case, does that mean Seth Rollins has main evented a WrestleMania as well, considering his cash-in at WM 31?

What's the record for most consecutive Mania ME appearances? I'm pretty sure Hogan had a string of 5 right? God, Roman's going to be one away from tying that by next year.

In fairness Austins run was so short in retospect. Yeah Austin had his first at XV and his career was over with his match at XIX. Hunter had his over the course of 17+ years, with 2 coming after he crowned Cena (25 and 32). Only Taker has come close to that kind of longevity. |

Smiling dork Rocky Maivia pushed as the superface against The Ringmaster, who the audience recognizes as talented but he constantly delivers condescending "you people" style speeches. |

Sycho Sid only had two matches at WrestleMania and they were both the main event. Now that is efficiency.
