Question 133 : The Curse of the......

In 1985, much to Japanese people's surprise, the Hanshin Tigers faced the Seibu Lions and took their first and only victory in the Japan Series
The fan base went wild, and a riotous celebration gathered at Ebisubashi Bridge in Osaka. There, an assemblage of supporters yelled the players' names, and with every name a fan resembling a member of the victorious team leapt from the bridge into the waiting canal. However, lacking someone to imitate MVP Randy Bass, the rabid crowd seized a plastic statue of X  nearby and tossed it off the bridge as aneffigy.
This impulsive maneuver was to cost the team greatly, beginning the Curse of the X. Urban legend has it that the Tigers will not win the championship again until the statue is recovered. Subsequently, numerous attempts have been made to recover the statue, often as a part of a variety TV show. Most of the statue was recovered in March, 2009.
Because of this curse the Hanshin Tigers have had an 18 Year Loosing Streak!!!!!
Name this curse.....




Answer : The curse of the colonel (as in Colonel Sanders of KFC)..
