Line 72:
*** [[Goldberg]] was also given one of the biggest streaks in WCW history, starting from his introductory match as a Jobber against Hugh Morris, going all the way to defeating [[Hulk Hogan|Hollywood Hogan]] for the title. His ''173 match'' winning streak was finally ended by [[Kevin Nash]], with the aid of a taser by [[Scott Hall]].
*** Nothing could beat Umaga. Not Viscera, not [[John Cena]], not [[Jeff Hardy]], not [[Kane (wrestling)|Kane]], not even [[D Generation X]]. It got to the point his manager, Armando Alejandro Estrada, began to refer to Umaga as "The Undefeated".
*** Vader was also an example of this in early '90s WCW, with faces lining up to take him down—and all failing, until [[Wrestler/Sting (wrestling)|Sting]] came along.
*** This trope was particularly noticeable in 80s WWF, where every new big bad heel destroyed everyone in his path until they finally got a shot at [[Hulk Hogan]] who took them down with his Five Moves Of Doom. Hercules Hernandez, King Kong Bundy, and Zeus come to mind, but I'm sure there were others.
** [[The Undertaker]] has a perfect 19-0 winning streak at ''Wrestlemania'', therefore his upcoming Wrestlemania opponents (most recently{{when}}, [[Triple H]]) will often [[Tempting Fate|talk about how they will become legends by ruining said streak]]; with [[John Bradshaw Layfield|JBL]] once mentioning (prior to losing the opportunity to even face Taker) that ending the streak would be a bigger accomplishment than winning a world title.
