When Wrestlers Brag About How Long They've Held The Title

[FromStLouis]

I'll throw in having two world titles can't help either. I don't know of any other sport that hands out two world trophies.

Participation trophies is a real problem in WWE.

Who has bragged about a long title reign lately? I think brock been the longest reigning in current years.

Punk’s was the last great long reign I can remember and that had more to do with his character development than his actual defenses.

I always enjoy our Holmes-Moriarty rivalry. It's a problem for boxing too if you look around.

 

[Rell84shots]

you think they're SHOOT bragging?

You think wrestlers don't see long title reigns as proof that they're the best? Wrestling championships are like Oscar awards for best performance, and a lot of them really do believe that they're the best performer. The WWE fukked up when they started making it a point to bring up how long people held titles.

Boxing's entire system is a fukking mess

Kofi's title reign came and went

 

[Canada Goose]

Didn't JBL of all people have like a 10 month reign

Hot potatoing of belts during the Attitude Era definitely wasn’t ideal, but shyt got downright absurd during the inVasion everybody had a belt almost literally and they were changing hands multiple times a week

Don't know why they have the Universal title. Just have the WWE Champion defend on both brands

The worst... didn't even bother to pay attention to who was the champ of anything... there was so many belts, all on the same damn show, always changing.

Mick Foley pissed Vince n them off when he cut that promo but he was right... "nowadays if you're in this company and don't have a championship, something must be wrong with you"... cause they were just tossing them shyts around.

Heels should brag about it.



Stone Cold lost it to Kane for 1 night and then was stripped of it cause Kane & Taker both pinned him.

Looking up some of the reigns of that time are comedy
US Title changing hands 4 times in 2 months
Dudes like Angle and Jericho holding the WCW title for all of like 2 weeks
David Arquette was a more memorable WCW champion than most of the guys who held Big Gold in 01 ...

The problem with long reigns lately is that they start slacking off toward the end or put their eggs in 1 basket when it comes to challengers.

With Becky's, it feels like they are waiting on Ronda. WWE likes to put her over as this revolutionary or this G.O.A.T talent. It wouldn't be out of their way to book Becky's reign badly on purpose to make you miss Ronda.

They could easily be booking Becky's reign way better, but they are going the lazy route on building challengers.
