portion of those of matches have been as part of atag team, so you can mainly blame his brother Matt.You can also blame Matt for Jeff’s loss at Wrestle-Mania 25, after he smashed his face into a steelchair during their Extreme Rules match.Hardy fares no better in the Summer, thanks to aTag Team turmoil mauling at the hands of the Acolytesin 1999, a TLC rematch with the Dudley’s &Edge and Christian in 2000 and a brutal Laddermatch against RVD in 2001. An opening matchdefeat to MVP in 2008 and failure to capture thegold in a TLC match against CM Punk as part oftheir brilliant feud leaves the high flyer with a bigold goose egg in his win column.Lita - Survivor Series: 0-5Jeff’s fellow member of Team Extreme, while revolutionisingthe role of women in wrestling and creatinga whole new fan base almost singlehandedly,totally sucked at Survivor series. A Bloody matchagainst Ivory in 2000 ended in defeat, as did thefollowing year’s six woman match for the vacantbelt. She stared at the lights for Molly Holly in2003, and Trish Stratus beat, albeit via DQ in 2004.Her final defeat, and final WWE match came in2006 at the hands of the quite brilliant MickieJames, who pinned her clean, before Cryme Timemade their way into the arena to conduct a little“Ho-Sale” of Lita’s personal effects. Lita was gone,but her winless record still stands.Hulk Hogan – SummerSlam 6-0It comes as little surprise that Hogan’s first 4 winscame at the height of Hulkamania, mainly in tagmatches and largely in the main event.What is more surprising however is the 14 year gapbetween his win in 1991 and his victory in 2005, ina bizarre comedy match against the Heartbreak KidShawn Michaels. The Showstopper bumps aroundlike a kid on a bouncy castle who’s guzzled on toomuch Coca-cola and Haribo, and it’s joy to watch.The following year Hogan selflessly pinned thecompany’s youngest ever WWE Champion RandyOrton to seal a perfect record and his reputation asthe most giving performer in WWE history.Sable – WrestleMania 3-0Sable is amazing and mathematically at least 1/7thas good at the Undertaker at WrestleMania. Thisbrilliant record stretches as far back as 1998, whereshe won a mixed tag match with the remarkableMarc Mero and bizarre Goldust & Luna. The followingyear she retained her Women’s title against acat who couldn’t wrestle, before taking a wellearned 5 year break. It’s hard to overstate the brutalityof the Playboy Evening Gown Tag Teammatch at WrestleMania 20. Suffice to say Sablewon again and with her undefeated streak intact shewas not only Queen of the Playboy cover but alsoand the true Queen of WrestleMania.Disclaimer (and all that business):We here at the Calling Spots Fanzine are in no way affiliated with WWE, TNA, RoH or any otherwrestling promotion or entity.
