5 Legendary WWE undefeated streaks you never knew existed

When you think of undefeated streaks in WWE, what comes to mind? Chances are, it's someone like The Undertaker.

The Deadman made history for his iconic WrestleMania streak that spanned an incredible 21 'Manias before he was ultimately beaten by Brock Lesnar. Perhaps it's CM Punk's WWE title reign or that of John Cena? Maybe the Empress of Tomorrow, Asuka?

There are many streaks and runs in WWE that are very well known and established, but there are a good handful that you may not know of that also stand the test of time.

Here, we take a look at five legendary undefeated WWE steaks that you never knew existed.

#5. Andre the Giant

When you think of the late, great Andre The Giant, many things come to mind. Most notably, of course, were his incredible physical attributes.

Andre was billed at eight feet tall and, justly, was dubbed the Eighth Wonder of the World. His giant hands and features dominated opponents, making him one of the most imposing figures in wrestling history.

In regards to WWE, fans will best remember his rivalry with Hulk Hogan that culminated in the incredible bout between the two at WrestleMania III in front of more than 90,000 fans. Andre's work as a heel was tremendous, but it is worth noting that he actually made his WWE debut in the 1970s as a babyface.

Understandably, given he was so physically outstanding, WWE wanted to book him as the unstoppable monster that a man his size should of course be. As a result, he was never pinned or made to submit in WWE for some 13 years between 1973 and 1986.

The pinfall loss, when it came, was courtesy of Hogan in that colossal clash at WrestleMania - a moment owed as much to Andre as the Hulkster himself. The Giant sadly passed away in 1993 and was later inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.

#4. Randy Savage

Plenty comes to mind when you think of Macho Man Randy Savage. His incredible matches, his eye-catching ring attire and, of course, his iconic voice!

However, did you know that Savage also boasts one of the most impressive unbeaten runs in WWE history? His run as Intercontinental Champion in the 1980s was one to marvel at.

It began in February 1986 when, on Prime Time Wrestling, Savage won the famed mid-card Championship by unseating Tito Santana. Albeit, it was with the aid of a foreign object - the ever-trusted aid of any good heel in professional wrestling!

At WrestleMania 2 that year, Savage defeated George The Animal Steele to retain his Championship. However, he was unseated a year later in what is regarded as one of the finest WrestleMania matches in history. Savage was defeated by Ricky Steamboat in front of more than over 90,000 fans - with Steele playing an influential part in securing the victory.

The lengthy run - which lasted for an incredible 414 days - with the title helped push Savage into the main event scene in WWE. He went on to become a two-time WWE Champion and, in 2015, a member of the WWE Hall of Fame. The induction was posthumous of course, given Savage tragically died as a result of a heart attack in 2011.

#3 Demolition

When you consider some of wrestling's great unbeaten runs and streaks, it's understandable that many of what comes to mind involves individuals. Did you know, however, that one of the industry's biggest runs actually belongs not to a singles athlete, but to a tag team?

Back in the late 1980s, the WWE roster was as full as its ever been and boasted more impressive tag teams than you could imagine. Unfortunately, this is a far cry from the present day, in which many fans feel that tag team wrestling has become neglected.

Back then, you had the British Bulldogs, The Hart Foundation, and The Rougeaus all battling with one another. One team stood above them all for a record period, though, and they were Demolition.

Their reign started in at Wrestlemania 4 in 1998, when Demolition, a heel tag team, defeated Strike Force to snare the gold.

They went on to fend off all comers in the coming months, knocking off the Bulldogs, and Hart Foundation and the Powers of Pain. Eventually, they fell at the hands of Arn Anderson and Tully Blanchard, then known as the Brain Busters. The run lasted for a staggering 478 days.

#2. Tatanka

The Native American Tatanka made his televised WWE debut in February 1992. His striking appearance, entrance and theme music quickly ensured he made a lasting impression on audiences across the country.

WWE quickly started billing Tatanka as undefeated, owing to the fact he amassed a string of victories on television in no time. As was often the case back then, the company made no reference to the fact that he'd actually suffered some non-pinfall losses at non-televised live events.

They instead championed his 'streak', which continued through WrestleMania 8 in 1992 when he defeated Rick 'The Model' Martel.

Later that year, he defeated The Berserker at SummerSlam in front of 80,000 fans at Wembley Stadium in London, later going on to meet Shawn Michaels at WrestleMania 9 for the Intercontinental title. He won that bout, too, albeit by count-out.

He remained undefeated up until October 1993, when he was downed by Anti-American heel, Ludvig Borga, before being attacked by Yokozuna and put out of action. He later returned to wide acclaim, before turning heel in 1994 and aligning with The Million Dollar Man.

#1. The Honky Tonk Man

These days, when fans think about the Intercontinental Championship, they think of the likes of The Miz. He is one of a handful of modern-day champions to have done a lot to restore the glory of this famed Championship.

When those with long memories cast their minds back, however, its likely think of top babyfaces like Bret Hart and Razor Ramon who carried the title with distinction back in the 1990s. Spare a thought, though, for the Honky Tonk Man who, as a heel, will surely go down as one of the greatest IC champions ever.

Winning the gold after defeating Ricky 'The Dragon' Steamboat in June 1987, Honky went on to cling on to his Championship for well over a year - 454 days, to be exact. The run came to an end at the hands of The Ultimate Warrior at SummerSlam the following year.

Sadly, though his run was memorable and lengthy, his defeat was anything but. It took the Warrior just 30 seconds to down The Honky Tonk Man, who would later be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
