The match between Charlotte, Becky Lynch and Sasha Banks is the longest women’s match in the History of Wrestlemania. Its 16:03 time limit is almost 5 minutes longer than the second place holder. At first I thought this would be a tedious task reviewing all the Wrestlemania cards for the women matches and their times, then I quickly realised I just needed to look up the times, as 16:03 is one of the longer matches in Wrestlemania History, for example, the Title match also happens to be longer then every match wrestled at WrestleMania 1, 2, 3 and 4. An appropriate statistic to back up what was Match of the Night. The fun part though is who it beat to become longest match…

In an impressive feat for women’s wrestling, the 10 person tag match between Team Total Diva’s (Paige, Eva Marie, Natalya, Alicia Fox and Brie Bella) against Team Miscellaneous Diva’s (Naomi, Tamina, Lana, Emma and Summer Rae) was the longest match in Women’s wrestling history, for a few hours. The two matches are also the only two women’s matches to go over 10 minutes, the tag match benefiting from a 2 hour pre-show which afforded the wrestlers a good amount of time to work. This was also the first time a Wrestlemania Card featured two women’s matches since Wrestlemania 20, where Victoria beat Molly Holly to retain the women’s Championship and role models for little girls everywhere, Torrie Wilson, Sable, Stacey Keibler and Miss Jackie ripped off their evening gowns and announced they were to have a match in their bras and panties to a hooting crowd, ending when Torrie Wilson rolled up Miss Jackie and pulled down her underwear for the enthusiastic crowd to see. Girl Power!

Moving on from the longest to the shortest…

The Rock did indeed have the shortest match (in what felt like the longest blood segment) in Wrestlemania History against Erick Rowan at 6 seconds, narrowly edging out Chavo Guerrero and Kane who managed 11 extreme seconds for the ECW Championship at Wrestlemania 24. The Rock has now appeared at the last 5 Mania’s, getting his current run close to his old run of 8 Mania’s between 13-20. Speaking of runs…

Wrestlemania 32 was the first Wrestlemania not to see Wade Barrett either injured or Intercontinental Champion. At 27, 29 and 31 Barrett was Intercontinental Champion (though he didn’t defend it at 27, instead competing in a tag match) and 28 and 30 saw him injured, though at 30 he returned to the main roster to wrestle the next day… this fact was originally supposed to be that The League of Nations win at Wrestlemania 32 was only the second time in Mania History that a match had featured more winners than losers, as most matches feature the same number of winners then losers, or one winner against many losers as in multi-man matches. Wrestlemania 20’s handicap match where Evolution’s 3, Randy Orton, Ric Flair and Batista beat The Rock ’n Sock Connection of The Rock and Mick Foley, is the only time more winners then losers occurred, and the only time the team on the downside of the handicap didn’t win. Then Barrett didn’t wrestle for that match and I had to lose that fact. Speaking of losing…

Shawn Michaels record 11 losses at Mania were tied on Sunday’s big show by… The Big Show and HHH. HHH’s win-loss record now stands at 9-11, while the Big Show has the less impressive 5-11. Kane’s elimination in the Andre the Giant Battle Royale also allowed him to go 9-10 win loss (WWE insist the Sunday Night Heat that aired before Wrestlemania 19 in the actual Wrestlemania Stadium, where Kane lost, doesn’t count, and I’m counting his Wrestlemania 24 Battle Royale Dark Match win as he won the chance to wrestle on the main card) and make next year’s Wrestlemania in Florida a tight race to find the biggest loser. Ironically HHH also has the second highest win record at the Show of Shows, last year overtaking Hulk Hogan, and still being 14 wins away from a certain Undertaker, who coincidentally last night…

Undertaker’s win last night ended Shane McMahon’s Wrestlemania 2-0 undefeated streak, one of a few times Undertaker has done that, to my knowledge ending Big Boss Man’s spotless Wrestlemania record, and Edge, who was advertised as undefeated in the build up to their Wrestlemania 24 match (he’d lost Money in the Bank year previous, but hadn’t gotten pinned and had later won the contract from actual winner Mr. Kennedy, so they stretched the definition of winning for story telling’s sake), 4 wrestler’s walked away with spotless Wrestlemania records last night, Kalisto, Charlotte and Baron Corbin are 1-0, and Paige is 2-0, and all of whom are NXT alumni. Last night also crowned some losers though…

R-Truth, D-Von Dudley and Bubba Ray Dudley are all tied 0-5 after Wrestlemania 32, the highest win-loss record to only feature losses, alongside a Dudley Boy familiar, Jeff Hardy. Another tie also occurred from Wrestlemania 32…

HHH’s win either ties him for most Wrestlemania main events, or makes him one away from it, depending on what you think was the main event of Wrestlemania 9. If you think Hogan vs. Yokozuna was the main event as it was the final match on the card, then Hogan has 8 main events to HHH’s 7, however if the advertised and significantly longer main event of Bret Hart vs. Yokozuna was the main event, HHH and Hogan are now tied. The question only remains if HHH is going over. One area HHH has gone over…

HHH’s main event also gives him the record for longest time period between first and last Wrestlemania Main Events, 16 years passing between his first main event at Wrestlemania 16 and his Main Event on Sunday. There was question whether Undertaker and Shane McMahon would be the Main Event, which would have also broken the record, and seen Undertaker Main Event 19 years after he main evented Wrestlemania 13. Roman Reigns would also benefit from the Main Event… sort of…

32 people have main evented a Wrestlemania, however only 13 have Main Evented more than once, less than half. Roman is now one of those 13 and of those 13, only 9 have main evented consecutive Wrestlemania’s, the record being held by Hogan at either 4 or 5 depending on whether the streak that starts at Wrestlemania 5 ends at 8 or 9. If Reigns Main Events next year and gets three consecutive Main Events, he will join a group of 4 and make it 5, featuring Himself, Hulk Hogan, HHH, The Rock and John Cena, they will then all probably hold up his hand in front of a booing audience. This would normally feel speculative, but with Roman it just feels a certainty barring injury. Can any contender beat him? What about AJ Styles, fun fact about that…

This one was noted by several users of Reddit group SquaredCircle, so compliments to them on this. This is the fourth time in as many Wrestlemania’s that the person who lost the second match on the main card, i.e not the pre-show/kick-off wrestles for the WWE Championship by the next PPV. At Wrestlemania 29 Ryback lost to Mark Henry in match 2 and wrestled John Cena for the WWE Championship at Extreme Rules the next month. At Wrestlemania 30 Kane would lose a 6 man tag-match to The Shield and wrestle Daniel Bryan for the WWE Championship at Extreme Rules next month. At Wrestlemania 31 Seth Rollins lost to Randy Orton in the second match and wrestled for the WWE Championship at Extreme Rules, as WWE Champion. After AJ Styles loss at Wrestlemania 32 on Sunday he avenged himself the next night on RAW by pinning Jericho in a Fatal 4 Way to become #1 contender for the WWE Championship, and presumably faces Reigns at PayBack… that’s weird… like WWE attendance numbers…

The attendance announced for Wrestlemania 32 was 101,763, a WWE record. Though it’s been speculated by wrestling analysts to be more likely around 94,000 people (with some arguing staff and family backstage at the venue may account for the difference), it is still the highest crowd to attend a wrestling event of their own free will. The two bigger events to top that occurred in North Korea for NJPW/WCW shows, where it is incredibly likely attendees were under orders from Kim Jong-il dictatorship to attend and may not have known exactly what wrestling was… still probably better then Roman winning.

I love statistics, wrestling and WrestleMania certainly provided me the opportunity to go overboard here, hope you got a bit of the pleasure I did.
