5 WWE Hall of Famers who never won a WrestleMania match

WrestleMania is the biggest event in all of pro-wrestling. The annual WWE extravaganza has been wowing fans for 36 years now. The event has witnessed wrestlers turn into legendary superstars and iconic careers coming to an end.

The list of WWE greats who have left their lasting impact at The Grandest Stage of Them All is quite long. Then there are many more Superstars who were not fortunate enough to win even a single match at WrestleMania. The list becomes even more intriguing when we only consider WWE Hall of Famers who failed to win a match at the mega event.

In the following list, we will take a look at five WWE Hall of Famers who somehow didn't win even a single match at WrestleMania.

#5 Jimmy Snuka (0-2 at WrestleMania)

Jimmy Snuka was a major WWE attraction back in the day and will always be remembered for being involved in the first-ever WrestleMania main event. At WrestleMania in 1985, Hulk Hogan and Mr. T defeated Roddy Piper and Paul Orndorff in the main event of the show. Bob Orton was on the villain's side while Snuka sided with the babyfaces. Later in his career, Snuka competed in two matches at WrestleMania.

Unfortunately, Jimmy Snuka failed to win both matches. His first WrestleMania outing was against Rick Rude at WrestleMania 6. Rude was a major heel at the time and picked up a big win over Snuka at the event.

Jimmy Snuka's 2nd and final loss at The Show of Shows came at WrestleMania 7. This match will always be remembered for being The Undertaker's very first outing at the big event, which kicked off his legendary undefeated streak. The Undertaker had made his WWE debut a few months ago and kicked off a feud with Snuka on the road to WrestleMania.

The Undertaker put Snuka down at the event and thus the greatest streak in pro-wrestling was born. The Undertaker went on to win 20 more matches at the event before falling prey to Brock Lesnar in 2014.

Jimmy Snuka was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 1996.

#4 Bob Backlund (0-2 at WrestleMania)

WWE Hall of Famer Bob Backlund didn't have much luck at WrestleMania. He is one of the greatest wrestlers to have ever step foot in the squared circle and is a former WWE Champion as well. Much like Snuka, Backlund got to compete at The Show of Shows on two separate occasions. The first time he stepped into the ring at WrestleMania was in 1993 against Razor Ramon.

Backlund was already an in-ring veteran at that point and put over Ramon big time in the match. The next match that Backlund competed in was a memorable one. At WrestleMania 11, Bret "The Hitman" Hart faced Backlund in an "I Quit" match. The special referee appointed for the match was Roddy Piper.

In the end, Hart picked up the win by submitting Backlund. Thus the former WWE Champion lost his 2nd and last match at WrestleMania. Backlund will forever be remembered for his iconic first WWE title reign, which spanned over 5 years.

Bob Backlund was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013.

#3 Paul Orndorff (0-1 at WrestleMania)

Paul Orndorff was involved in the very first WrestleMania. Aside from this honor, Orndorff didn't do much of note in WWE when it came to the main event picture. He teamed up with Roddy Piper in a losing effort against Hulk Hogan and Mr. T in the main event of the show.

The match garnered major media coverage and was a big reason why Vince McMahon eventually succeeded in turning WWE into the biggest pro-wrestling company in the world. WrestleMania's success ensured that WWE would continue presenting the mega event every year. The rest, as they say, is history.

Paul Orndorff wrestled another match at WrestleMania a year later. This time around, he battled The Magnificent Muraco in singles competition at the event. The match ended with a double countout and thus Orndorff failed to get a win at WrestleMania. This was it for Orndorff at The Show of Shows and he never got another chance to compete at the mega event.

He was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2005.

#2 Lita (0-1 at WrestleMania)

It's interesting to note that even though WWE Hall of Famer Lita had a long career with WWE as an active wrestler, she only competed in one WrestleMania match. Lita made her WWE debut way back in 1999 and quickly became one of the most popular WWE Divas at the time. Her rivalry against fellow wrestler Trish Stratus was the highlight of that era and is dubbed by many current WWE Superstars as the feud that laid down the foundation for the Women's Revolution.

The only time Lita wrestled at WrestleMania was in 2002. She met Trish Stratus and Jazz in a Triple Threat Match for the Women's title. Jazz came out to the ring with the belt on her shoulder and walked out with a big win over Trish and Lita.

Lita acted as Christy Hemme's mentor for the latter's Women's title match at WrestleMania 21. Lita was also in Edge's corner at WrestleMania 22 when he faced WWE legend Mick Foley in a Hardcore match. She retired from pro-wrestling in 2006.

Lita was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2014.

#1 X-Pac (0-2 at WrestleMania)

WWE legend X-Pac has competed in two WrestleMania events. He was a part of D-Generation X in the late '90s when WWE was competing in the Monday Night Wars. X-Pac made his way to WWE immediately after WrestleMania 14 following a brief stint in WCW. He was introduced to the fans by Triple H, who had taken over DX after Shawn Michaels kicked off his four-year hiatus from WWE.

X-Pac wrestled Shane McMahon for the European title at WrestleMania 15. Triple H and Chyna interfered in the match, with The Game hitting a Pedigree on X-Pac and allowing Shane to retain his belt. X-Pac wrestled his final match at WrestleMania a year later. He teamed up with Road Dogg to take on Kane and Rikishi in tag team action. The WWE veteran failed to pick up a victory this time around as well.

X-Pac was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2019 along with other members of D-Generation X. He will be inducted into the Hall of Fame again as part of the nWo.
