Twenty-one Superstars have tried, and all have failed to topple The Undertaker at WrestleMania. From Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka to "Mr. WrestleMania" Shawn Michaels to "The Cerebral Assassin" Triple H, The Phenom boasts the greatest record in The Show of Shows' 30-year history. WWE Magazine explores how he towers over the competition on The Grandest Stage of Them All — beyond 21-0.

The Deadman Difference
The Undertaker defeated 18 unique competitors at WrestleMania. The combined record of these Superstars at The Show of Shows is 56-75-1, earning a win percentage of 42 percent. But if you remove The Deadman’s 21 victories from these Superstars' W/L columns, the record would be 56-54-1.

Pay-Per-View Phenom
The Million Dollar Man introduced The Undertaker at Survivor Series 1990, where he eliminated Koko B. Ware and Dusty Rhodes, the first strong pay-per-view performance in his illustrious career. The Phenom boasts
91 total pay-per-view victories, including his legendary 21 at WrestleMania.

Win Percentage at WrestleMania
A total of 83 Superstars, including The Undertaker, have a winning record at WrestleMania. Only 34 of these competitors have contested more than two matches.

The Reverse Streak
if The Undertaker reigns supreme at WrestleMania, Who is The Show of Shows' least clutch competitor? Jeff Hardy and Goldust both are an abysmal 0-5 at WrestleMania. Mr. McMahon, The Dudley Boys and Finlay are all 0-4. But those still fall short of Tito Santana's streak. After defeating The Executioner at the first WrestleMania, Tito Santana lost his next seven matches, making his the longest losing streak on The Grandest Stage of Them All.
