No one, not even Ric Flair, should ever hold the world championship 10 times.

In fact, I think 8 is pushing it. That belt should be hard to attain and even harder to keep and contend for.

However ... of all these overblown reign numbers? Edge's make the most sense. Because none of his reigns ever lasted that long, and it always seemed like he weaseled his way into the title picture (ultimate opportunist). Flair is a 16 time world champion and he had like 4 or 5 reigns that legit went longer than one calendar year. How, Sway??


As far as the Intercontinental Championship? Look at it this way... the best IC champions I can remember/revisited through classic footage were Randy Savage, The Miz, The Rock, and Legend Killer Randy Orton. Seth Rollins is on his way but the Shield shyt is fukking him up.

Orton and Savage only held that belt one time. The Rock held it twice. Only the Miz actually overdid it with the reigns. Less is more, most of the time.

Who had the last meaningful World Championship Run the WWE had before AJ? And I mean a legit title reign that wasn't transitional, stat padding, on the fly/a make up reign for an injury?

Either Brock, JBL (:scust:) or Eddie. I would maybe give it to Cena's first run with the belt, but given what we know now I can't say it wasn't the precursor to Stat Padding because of how he was booked.

The worst part was for years the belts would just cycle between them on both shows

Like Edge at least four times was WWE Champ then the next week WHC

In retrospect it makes Miz and Kofi look worse because none of those late 2000's cats got runs we ten years from when they came

Miz is 38 years old

CM Punk held the belt 434 days In a pretty enjoyable run

I've been watching wrestling since '87... it's always been wack to me that they just started passing title reigns around like crazy. shyt changing every month, sometimes in less than a month. Understandably, wrstling moves at a faster pace now than it used to. But I always felt like they guy who gets the top belt should mean he's gonna be the man for a while. Not just winning it to pass it back and forth with another MF 2-3 times in the course of 4 months. That's why we now have people who've held it 10 times and shyt, just because. I am kinda glad they've slowed down on that every month title changing, it was gettin' outta hand for a minute there.

As soon as wcw died

All the wcw belts were being exchanged back and forth

Test and booker t were fukkin wcw tag champs

Albert beat kane for i.c title

:mjlol:

Those Albert/Kane matches though :whew:

As far as some of these title reigns, they’re mostly a blur for me. Orton and Cena combine for almost 30 World title reigns, yet I hardly remember the feuds that led to them
