That is a fucking stupid comparison to make. Hitting in more consecutive games than anyone is not remotely the same as never losing at WrestleMania.

You're suggesting a moment would be made, meaning both parties involved would be immortalized by it. That didn't happen when DiMaggio put a 0 in the hit column in game 57. Is the pitcher who kept him hitless remembered in a huge moment in history? No, because that's not the point.


Going out having never lost at the biggest event is way better than "well he did win a lot of matches at WrestleMania..." It has become a part of his character now. Ending it doesn't make any sense. Again, why would he go out on a loss after all this time? Especially since it's really the only reason he comes back every year.
