You know the one.

Here it is then, The Undertaker’s undefeated record in full:

- Wrestlemania VII, Los Angeles, CA: Pinned Jimmy ‘Superfly’ Snuka in 4:20 with the Tombstone Piledriver

- Wrestlemania VIII, Indianapolis, IN: Pinned Jake ‘the Snake’ Roberts in 6:36 after a Tombstone on the mats outside the ring to stop Roberts nicking the urn off Paul Bearer

- Wrestlemania IX, Las Vegas, NV: Defeated Giant Gonzalez by disqualification in 7:33 when Gonzalez smothered him with a chloroform-soaked rag, causing ‘Taker to batter him a bit afterwards

- Wrestlemania XI, Hartford, CT: Pinned King Kong Bundy in 6:36 with a body slam followed by a jumping clothesline (because there’s no WAY a Tombstone was possible, he looked shaky enough doing the body slam)

- Wrestlemania XII, Anaheim, CA: Pinned Diesel in 16:46 with the Tombstone

- Wrestlemania 13, Rosemont, IL: Pinned Sycho Sid in a no disqualification match in 21:19 with the Tombstone (after interference from Bret Hart) to win the WWF Championship

- Wrestlemania XIV, Boston, MA: Pinned Kane in 16:58 with the third Tombstone of the match. Got Tombstoned on a chair afterwards but did the old sit up~!

- Wrestlemania X-Seven, Houston, TX: Pinned Triple H in 18:17 with the Last Ride

- Wrestlemania X8, Toronto, Ontario, Canada: Pinned Ric Flair in a no disqualification match in 15:47 with the Tombstone

- Wrestlemania XIX, Seattle, WA: Defeated A-Train and The Big Show in a handicap match by pinning A-Train in 9:45 with the Tombstone. Originally scheduled as a tag team match, ‘Taker’s original partner Nathan Jones ran in to help him out for the win.

- Wrestlemania XX, New York, NY: Pinned Kane in 7:45 with the Tombstone

- Wrestlemania XXI, Los Angeles, CA: Pinned Randy Orton in 14:14 with the Tombstone, reversing an attempted Tombstone by Orton

- Wrestlemania 22, Rosemont, IL: Defeated Mark Henry in a Casket Match in 9:26 by shoving him in the casket after a Tombstone

- Wrestlemania XXIII, Detroit, MI: Pinned Batista in 15:48 with the Tombstone to win the World Heavyweight Championship

- Wrestlemania XXIV, Orlando, FL: Submitted Edge in 23:50 with Hell’s Gate (sitting up straight out of a spear~!) to win the World Heavyweight Championship

- Wrestlemania XXV, Houston, TX: Pinned Shawn Michaels in 30:56 with the Tombstone, countering a Moonsault press

- Wrestlemania XXVI, Glendale, AZ: Pinned Shawn Michaels in a “Streak vs. Career” match in 24:04 with a jumping Tombstone

- Wrestlemania XXVII, Atlanta, GA: Submitted Triple H in a No Holds Barred Match in 29:25 with Hell’s Gate

*That’s 4 hours, 49 minutes and 13 seconds of Undertaker wrestling at Wrestlemania, with an average match time of about 15 minutes, 13.3 seconds. ‘Taker has downed his opponent with the Tombstone Piledriver 14 times (one of which was the jumping variation), tapped them with Hell’s Gate twice, and beaten one with the Last Ride, one by disqualification and one with a jumping clothesline. He became the first man to win both the WWF/E Championship and the World Heavyweight Championship at Wrestlemania when he beat Batista at WM23.

How the rumble winners have fared in there 'mania Main events
The rumble winner has only gained a title match since 1993 hence why we start there

1993 Rumble Winner: Yokozuna
Yokozuna fought Bret Hart for the WWE Championship at WrestleMania IX. Yokozana beat Bret for the championship and then put the title on the line against Hulk Hogan minutes later. The Hulkster wound up leaving the event as the new WWE Champion.

1994 Rumble Winners: Bret Hart and Lex Luger
This was the only time that there were co-winners of the Rumble. A coin toss was used to determine who would get the first title shot. Lex Luger won the toss and fought Yokozuna first. He was disqualified in that match by special guest referee Curt Hennig. Later in the show, Bret Hart, who lost to his brother Owen earlier in the show, beat Yokozuna to walk out of Madison Square Garden as the new champion.

1995 and 1996 Rumble Winner: Shawn Michaels
Shawn lost to WWE Champion Diesel at WrestleMania XI. The following year, he beat Bret Hart to win his first WWE Championship.

1997 Winner: Steve Austin
Stone Cold was the first Rumble winner that did not cash in his title shot at WrestleMania. Shortly after the Rumble, WWE Champion Shawn Michaels vacated the title. Due to the controversial finish of the Rumble (Austin was eliminated but the refs didn’t see it), the vacated title was filled by a four man elimination match based on events that took place at the Rumble. Bret Hart beat Steve Austin, the Undertaker, and Vader to win the vacant title. The following night, Austin cost Bret the title. At WrestleMania 13, Bret beat Austin in a submission match.

Steve Austin went on to fight Shawn Michaels in the main event that featured Mike Tyson as a special enforcer at ringside. Steve won the match to win his first WWE Championship.

1999 Winner: Vince McMahon
The night after winning the Rumble, Vince gave up his title shot so that his friend the Rock didn’t have to defend the belt at WrestleMania. Commissioner Shawn Michaels declared that since Vince vacated the title shot that Steve Austin would get the title shot since he was the last man eliminated from the match. The controversy was settled in a steel cage match between Vince and Austin. Austin won that match to get the title shot and used it to beat the Rock.

2000 Winner: The Rock
The Rock lost his title shot to Big Show at No Way Out. The main event was later changed into a match that featured a member of the McMahon family represent one of the wrestlers in that match.

random bits of trivia
- Bret Hart has been in two battle royales at Wrestlemania, finishing 2nd both times.

- Since adopting the gimmick, Kane has appeared at every Wrestlemania since XV except XIX, where he and Rob Van Dam unsuccessfully challenged Chief Morley and Lance Storm for the World Tag Team Championships in the dark match.

- The longest Wrestlemania match (Hart/Michaels) is 464 times the length of the shortest Wrestlemania match (Chavo/Kane).

- When he defends the World Heavyweight Championship, Daniel Bryan will become only the 5th wrestler to make their in-ring debut at Wrestlemania as a world champion. The other three are Diesel (XI), Ric Flair (VIII), Sgt. Slaughter (VII) and Hulk Hogan (I). Bryan will be the first man to do it with the World Heavyweight Championship.

- Speaking of Bryan, when he faces Sheamus, the United States Championship match that was bumped to the pre-show of Wrestlemania XXVII will become the only match to be removed from a Wrestlemania card, then go on to be one of the main event matches the following year.

- Howard Finkel is the only person to have appeared at every Wrestlemania (not counting replays of past events, etc), having announced the Hall of Fame inductees since Wrestlemania 22.

- Wrestlemania 2, held on Monday 7th April 1986, is the only Wrestlemania not to have been held on a Sunday.

- There have been (as far as I could count) 12 video games released with the name “Wrestlemania” in their title, mostly on Nintendo consoles.

- Wrestlemania XXVIII will be the southernmost Wrestlemania to date, surpassing Wrestlemania XXIV (yes, Orlando and Miami are both further south than Houston). The northernmost Wrestlemania was XIX (yes, Seattle is further north than Toronto)
