    Ath the time of posting, Bayley has the highest percentage of wins out of the Four Horsewomen while in the WWE proper. Sasha Banks has the least.

    Bayley was also the first women's Triple Crown Champion and the only Grand Slam Champion.

    I don't know if anyone's posted this, not reading through all the various 170+ posts so sorry if I'm stepping on toes.

    I've been reading back through Ric Flair's autobiography the past few weeks, "To Be The Man" and came across a pretty cool fact that I'd forgotten all about.

    This involves a wrestler by the name of George Burrell Woodin, better known to wrestling fans as Mr. Wrestling. A little background on Woodin is that he was a highly qualified amateur wrestler in college, capturing the Amateur Athletic Union Championship in 1955 and 1957, plus the Big Ten Conference Championship in 1958 and 1959. In the guise of Mr. Wrestling, which he began wrestling as while wearing a mask & white singlet not too long after his professional wrestling career began in 1962, Woodin was a star pretty much everywhere he went, though the man was essentially a god in the Florida, Georgia and Mid-Atlantic territories I know I'm rambling on a bit but now I'm getting to the point of things: Woodin was involved in the same 1975 plane crash Ric Flair, Johnny Valentine and Bob Bruggers. Woodin was the only babyface wrestler on the flight and was adamant about protecting kayfabe. He was injured during the crash, but not nearly to the degree as the others and after being taken to the hospital, he told the staff his real name and that he was a promoter and not a wrestler, and they didn't know as he'd wrestled under a mask for virtually all this time. However, rumors began circulating that Woodin was indeed on the plane and this was during the days when heels and babyfaces didn't associate outside of the locker room. Rather than risk exposing pro wrestling and breaking kayfabe, Woodin returned to the ring to wrestle two weeks after the crash and was in extreme pain. However, it preserved the business as no reasonable person would believe that Mr. Wrestling would be back in the ring less than two weeks after being in a plane crash that crippled three other wrestlers and eventually killed the pilot of the plane. Flair expressed admiration for Woodin in his book by saying that Woodin, who passed away in 2002, "was more than just Mr. Wrestling that day, but was the man who saved wrestling."

    So basically, the man defied doctors' orders and put himself in harm's way by returning to the ring just to protect the mystique of the business. Gotta say that was a pretty badass move on Mr. Wrestling's part and took a level of dedication to pro wrestling that just doesn't exist anymore.

    Daniels also shares a birthday with the Undertaker as both were born March 24th. Taker's 5 years older and turns 55 to Daniels 50 next year.

    She's 0-11 and hasn't had a singles match. That's probably way up there.
