I'm surprised to see Sheamus and the Miz on there. I'm also kind of surprised that the Rock and Batista aren't on there. I guess most of Batista's reigns were with the other world title. But I would have thought the Rock would be on there.

 

Even though the pre-WrestleMania era was before my time, I've sill heard plenty about Sammartino, Graham, and Backlund. But it's funny how you never hear much about Morales.

Batista was world champ for a long time but when it comes to the WWE title he lost it the first time within 2 days because of injury and his second reign only lasted 35 days from Elimination Chamber to WrestleMania 26.

Part of what made Rock so great is how he would often lose and still remain just as over as Austin. He gave Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho, and Brock Lesnar their first major victories not to mention how'd he lose a lot of his tv matches and even got pinned by the likes of Lance Storm. I believe his five month reign in 2000 was the only legthy one he had.

There's no way Miz held it the longest in 2011. Cena had from Extreme Rules to Summerslam.

Cena had from Extreme Rules to Money in the Bank. Miz had from like December 2010 to Extreme Rules the next April. Every other reign lasted a few weeks that year.

Seeing The Miz on there makes me sick.

Good

 

John Cena is only listed four times and he is a 11-time WWE champion. There is something wrong with that.

 

He had shorter reigns and dropped the title that much. I don't know why Cena and Flair get praised for holding the titles so many times when they lost it that many times. -_-

Agreed, that's why I liked Rock more than Austin, he put people over.

 

Hell, Hurricane beat him.

Sheamus's reign in 2010? Really? It seemed so short....what was it....Fatal 4 Way, Money in the Bank, SummerSlam and Night of Champions...4 months was the longest reign that year....damn.

 

Edit:Totally forgot he started the year as champion too.

Damn, dude was forgettable. Was way better as WHC 2 years later.

We need a WHC version too, as it'd be interesting to see from about 2005 - 2007, with Batista, Edge and Taker all holding it so often. Plus Booker and JBL too.

 

Still sucks to see Miz on there though. Can't even remember a single thing from his reign. Except Wrestlemania obviously.

I actually liked Miz's reign. He really put in serious effort on the mic and it showed. I think for his maiden WWE title run, he did very well. Remember most of it, although forgettable at times due to how insignificant it was treated as amongst the Cena/Nexus, Cena/Rock, Punk/Orton chaos.
