The story here has to be the Psycho Circus. Even with all the wacky manipulation of the win streak (going up seven each week, despite not actually wrestling outside of the TV tapings early on), the legit number looks to be pretty impressive. Killer Clown did lose on AAA + Indy random teams show, but I can not find a loss for either Zombie Clown or Psycho Clown. There might be one out there for Zombie that I’m forgetting, based on the mention of this streak in a recently Wrestling Observer (which said only Psycho was undefeated.) Psycho does have the most known matches of the two, 44 Wins and 88 Unknowns which can safely be assumed to be wins in this situation. That’s a 132 match undefeated streak on the year. (Zombie is at 130.)

Just for fun, I checked DDTDigest’s Win/Loss records for 1998. I forget if Goldberg had any more wins after taking his loss in Starrcade that year, but he did have 134 confirmed wins (and 5 NDs) in addition to that 1 loss. I think we can safely assume that, had AAA being posting it’s spot show lineups on a website for the full year, the Psycho Circus would be easily past 134. Probably could find 3 more matches if you were truly concerned about it.

In straight recorded wins, the Clowns are actually not in the lead. Alex Koslv is, at 67, because CMLL wins get recorded more often (works that way when you have 3 shows a week.) Of AAA full timers, Parka leads the way with 50, Cibernetico is at 46 and then the Clowns come thru. On the other end of the scale, Mascartia de la Muerte got only 2 offical wins. Tied with three is the eclectic trio of Mini Chessman, Jesse of the Night Queens, and Vampiro.

Kenzo Suzuki lead the way in losses is no huge surprise. That’s sort of his role right now, and he excelled at it with 44 losses. Chessman being second is kind of a surprise, because tecnicos usually don’t end up on this part of the list and that’s what Chessman was most of the year. He had 36 losses, and Cuervo and Mesias tied for 33.

Clowns were top in Win Percentage, just ahead of two Parkas (the mini and the full size) and one Mistico clone (Argenis). On the other side, Mini Chessman won only 16% of the team.

Leading the way in most matches was La Parka Jr. at 190, which may explain why his shoulder never gets any better. Chessman, who really should be equally as broken, had 183 and Cibernetico was third at 166 despite missing stretches.

In my continuing efforts to inflict math and statistics where it clearly does not belong, I bring to you the 2008 Win % Leaderboard. This year, I’m going to break it out by current promotion, although all matches are counted regardless of where the wrestler had them.

As usual, these numbers are my best efforts at recording announced cards and results, but obviously many lineups never make the internet. Of those that do, I’d say that the majority of results are posted; newspapers weekly post lineups for buildings like Arena Olimpico Laguna in Gomez Palacio and Coliseo Fraternidad in Veracruz, but only occasionally do results turn up. Even if they do, I do miss things and make mistakes. This is my best guess based on the knowledge I have, but the margin of error number is quite up there.

Mistico was out of action just long enough to prevent him from retaining the lead in total wins this year. Blue Panther took the recorded win total with 97, and Mistico was just behind at 93. That’s 93 more than Carrona had; he went winless on the year.

As you might expect, Mistico winning a lot meant Averno & Mephisto did not. Averno nosed out both his partner and Ultimo Guerrero for the ‘victory’, getting 84 losses. UG and Mephisto each had 83, Guerrero nearly repeating as leader of this category. Of those with at least 10 decisions, mini Celestial had the least losses, 4.

Of those who with 10 decisions or more, it was Mascarita Dorada who had the best winning percentage. He won 82% of matches, a distance ahead of the two women (Dark Angel at 77% and Lady Apache at 76%) who tied Mistico for the lead last year. This is fairly predictable; both the top tecnicas and the top tecnico minis almost all go over unless they’re doing an angle, which isn’t often, and really not at all for Dark Angel this year. Mistico was right behind at 73%.

Worst winning percentage is obviously Carrona at 0%. Of people who are a little bit more regular, Pequeno Warrior clocks in at 19% and Vangelis is at 24%. Misterioso at 31%, which just goes to prove (something.)

The most matches wrestled, in Mexico and maybe all over the world, was Ultimo Guerrero. Last year, it was 313 matches. This year, it was ‘only’ 228. I’m not sure if that means he’s wrestling less, CMLL is running less events (less regular spots shows in Arena Queretaro, Aficion, and Neza, plus not working with IWRG or AULL) or if I’m just missing more. Sombra is second at 213, fooled by Atlantis at 202, Mistico at 197 and Averno at 189. Matches in Chinese bars are not included.
