When we hear wrestling streaks, we often get reminded of Goldberg's dominance in WCW or The Undertaker's legendary WWE career. However, throughout the years, a select few wrestlers have had a rough time inside the ring with more losses than they can count.
While losing matches is too common in the promotion, some were just WWE's way of putting over talent, while the rest were bookings that involved a good amount of creative writing.
The likes of Curt Hawkins have made headlines in recent times as the only wrestler on the roster who was happy with his losing record. But more often, wrestlers would desire a better career record.
Here are 5 WWE Superstars with the longest losing streaks.
#5 Former WWE Superstar Heath Slater
Heath Slater has one of the most memorable losing records to his name. The former superstar went through multiple losing streaks during his career at WWE, with the longest being 27 match losses in a row.
Slater is a former tag team and 24/7 champion, but his most notable memories came in during the week leading up to the 1000th episode of RAW. Heath Slater challenged legends every week only to lose each time, making a funny storyline.
Heath Slater was also a member of the 3MB faction alongside Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre. As a team, they weren't really successful and faced many disappointments.
After the faction split, Slater's teammates went on to have stellar careers, winning championships, among other accolades. Slater, unfortunately, was mostly used to put over other stars.
His most recent WWE appearance saw him challenge Drew McIntyre in a losing effort. Shortly after, Slater was attacked by Dolph Ziggler, who was a contender for the WWE Championship. After McIntyre stepped in to save Slater from Ziggler, the duo shared a bonding moment.
Slater was released by the company in 2020 amidst budget cuts during the COVID-19 pandemic and has not appeared on WWE television ever since.
#4 WWE NXT star Tyler Breeze
Often, WWE has brought in talents to the main roster from NXT to serve the sole purpose of enhancing other stars. Tyler Breeze suffered the same fate when he was called up to the bigger stage.
His gimmick was never well-received by the fans, but Breeze did come in with a lot of momentum. Alongside valet Summer Rae, Breeze finally made his big debut on RAW. The fans expected him to make a mark on the roster, but that never came to fruition.
Even after an impressive NXT run, Tyler Breeze quickly became a flop, to the surprise of many. His initial push was short-lived, and Breeze became another superstar used to pushing over other talents.
He suffered 49 consecutive losses at RAW and was out of the big picture.
Fast forward to the present, Tyler Breeze is back where it all began. Taming up with Fandango has rejuvenated Breeze's career at WWE.
As one half of the tag-team Breezango, Tyler Breeze has done well so far on the Black and Gold brand, even winning the WWE NXT tag-team championship.
#3 Former WWE Superstar Rosa Mendes went winless for close to three years
Some WWE runs are easily forgotten, and that was the case with Rosa Mendes. The female superstar never found her feet during her stint with the company and went months without registering a single victory. In fact, over the course of her career, Rosa Mendes has gone 884 days without winning.
Even then, WWE kept Mendes around for a good amount of time. Though she was part of many events and pay-per-views, Mendes always failed to make a big impact.
She was present ringside in many matches and managed various other WWE superstars, including Primo and Epico.
In a career that spanned nearly a decade, Mendes only has a little over ten wins to her name.
She later took up the mantle to be a correspondent for SmackDown, but it lasted a mere month before Mendes went on maternity leave and later left the promotion.
Her only memorable feat was winning the Slammy for best use of exercise equipment, something she isn't really known for.
Most of Mendes' run came at a time before the women's revolution in WWE. At present, female superstars face tight competition to be named among the best.
#2 Former WWF/WWE Superstar Barry Horowitz
Barry Horowitz was another wrestler with an astonishing losing record in WWF/WWE. Horowitz might very well be the superstar that kicked off a noticeable losing streak in the wrestling industry.
Debuting all the way back in 1987, Horowitz had a hollow run at the company. Horowitz was one of the first enhancement talents WWE used. Unfortunately, he suffered over 131 losses consecutively.
He wasn’t backed by the fans, and it was as if the company had no actual plans for the wrestler. However, he soon became famous for his losing streak. Horowitz also started tapping his own back to support himself during matches, which amused the fans.
WWE finally decided to give Horowitz a push, and he registered his first win in the year 1995. When he did pick up a win, the fans were genuinely surprised. As a result, he was pushed to the main roster and won his first pay-per-view match at SummerSlam in 1995.
Sadly, the push didn’t last long, and Barry Horowitz was back to his old losing streak in no time.
#1 Former WWE Superstar Curt Hawkins
Six years after Undertaker’s legendary streak came to an end, the WWE universe witnessed yet another streak break during WrestleMania 35. Only this time, it was the biggest losing streak in wrestling history that came to a stop.
Since returning to WWE in 2016, Curt Hawkins, to his name, has the most infamous losing streak with 269 consecutive losses.
Hawkins did not want the streak to come to an end. Instead, he saw potential in the storyline and continued boasting about his losses. Soon, the fans were also invested in Hawkins as he successfully managed to turn the streak into his own gimmick.
Hawkins finally broke the streak at The Grandest Stage of Them All. At WrestleMania 35, Hawkins pinned Scott Dawson to win the RAW tag-team championship with his partner Zack Ryder. The run didn’t last long as Hawkins and Ryder dropped the titles back to The Revival in a tag-team triple threat.
Hawkins, along with other wrestlers, was released by WWE in 2020 as a part of budget cuts due to the global pandemic.
