WWE: Curt Hawkins Says WWE Tried to End His Streak, 5 Rare Cena Matches (Video)

Curt Hawkins’ Streak

Curt Hawkins has lost around 219 matches in a row and has worked the losing streak into a big part of his gimmick. In a recent interview with Sam Roberts, Hawkins said that WWE had the brilliant idea of having him win a match on Main Event because he had been doing a good job, totally missing the point of his gimmick by having him win on a meaningless show.

“What really sparked it all was that there was some online article that said that Curt Hawkins just lost his 100th match in a row. I think that, I’m not taking shots at anyone else, but most of my colleagues would be upset at that sort of thing.

“There’s been times since that article where I was having matches; in particular I had a match on Main Event against Heath Slater that I was supposed to win, but I thought, wait, hold it, no, please, no. This could be something. There’s no sense of ending this story on Main Event. Who begs to lose matches? I literally did that though where I said that I can’t win matches, and they were cool about it in the first place where they were telling me that I did a good job and that I am going to win a match. But I was like, no, you don’t understand.

“It has made it a lot more fun to perform because people are more invested in what I am doing. No longer am I going to live events and people just look at me as someone who loses matches. They are more intrigued now, and it is fun as a performer.”
