Along with Randy Orton, The Mexican Aristocrat had the most matches end in a No Contest in 2013 with a total of six. Whether Del Rio’s — or The Viper’s, for that matter — knack for having bouts finish in catastrophe can be owed to cunning or calamity is hard to figure, but it’s to be expected.

Still, for the sake of our own “nerdish leanings,” we kept track of every televised pinfall, submission and disqualification from the beginning of the year through Dec. 18’s episode of WWE Main Event. After crunching some numbers, here are a few interesting facts and figures we discovered.
