I dig Pete and know he defends on UK NXT and a lot of live events, but come on, they need to stop this. Punk had that lengthy actually meaningful title run, and the WWE has spent like 6 years having multiple people try to erase that history. Styles’ reign is the only reign since his that deserved to pass it. New Day too (if their’s was actually longer). All these other reigns have just been simply so the WWE have Michael Cole day “longest in history”. That shyt ain’t even special now.

I mean, a undefeated reign got to have some sort of rhyme and reason. What made Okada's reign simply:ohlawd:was the fact that he was fighting for his life. Dude fought each match involving the belt with different ideals for the opponent:

  • Omega= His equal
  • Naito=Adapting to his sleazy dirty tricks
  • Suzuki= fukkery
  • Shibata= Fighting for his life
It worked, rather than make him seem larger than reality. This is the thing that pisses me off about the WWE. They big up the head of a wrestler with that dumb undefeated streak without a sense of storytelling (Asuka, Dunne, etc), but once they come to the main roster, it's just :yeshrug:welp!

Make the wrestler's human if you are trying to go for that undefeated approach. I'm not going to believe a small little smug puke like Dunne can beat somebody like Brock, unless you give me matches to back up the claim:francis:

Pete Dunne has put out classics with Tyler Bate and has had great matches with Gibson, Dar, Devlin, etc. Like y'all need to watch the product and see that this dude has put the workrate ala Bryan.

I wasnt specifically talking about Dunne but about the fact that long title reigns/undefeated streaks were played out.

There's nobody credible to drop the belt to right now since Bate already had it. NXT UK needs to build somebody to his level or sign someone. They don't need to take it off him anyway his matches are always good.

Get Finn Balor off of Raw and you got a real contender.

They handicapped themselves when NXT UK was created because now the title almost needs to be on the show. Raw is starving for top guys so they won't move Balor unless another star is coming back their way.
