I'm not saying this to "get into anyting with you" but has this ever been the case?

Yeah, breaking the streak would be a sure-fire way of getting a new face over but in the list of 19 matches at Mania the only real guy that was "climbing the ranks" that he's faced was Orton at 21 - who had already been WHC at that point.

HHH, HBK and Flair were already legends by the time they faced him. Edge and Batista were already fixtures in the Main Event. Kane and Mark Henry were already veterans when they faced him at Mania's 20 and 22 respectively.
