Baring any last minute changes, Lesnar is currently set to break CM Punk's modern WWE record for longest major title reign on June 11th.

Punk held the WWE title for 434 days while Lesnar's Universal reign is at 408 days as of today.

Splaya 05-15-2018 04:29 PM

I never watched WCW when I was younger and I think I am going to go back and watch it. I plan on starting at the formation of the NWO and go through all the way till the end.

I think that would actually mean something if it was the WWE Championship Lesnar had and not the Universal Championship.

Cool King 05-15-2018 04:32 PM

Anyway, the fact that he's had the title for 408 days and only defended it six times is both funny and sad.

If you include house shows, the gap between Punk and Lesnar as a fighting champ gets a lot worse.

For the record, we are not counting the Universal Title as a World Title. So, this countdown of days stuff is irrelevant. Punk will still be the longest reigning World Champion in the modern era.

If WWE strives to be ROH then they should definitely put Rollins and the face of the company.

If they wanna see another boom, become as massively popular again as they pretend to be and maybe even re-capture some of that mainstream appeal they crave so badly, then they'll just keep him where he is as a good midcard guy while looking for a guy with the look, charisma and personality to put on the marquee.

We're not counting the WWE Title as a world title either. Only the World Heavyweight Title. Batista is the longest reigning world champion of the modern era.

Bad News Gertner 05-15-2018 05:55 PM

CM Punk couldn't even main event as World Champion. He was that boring and bland. You should be thankful to have a Champ that's special like Lesnar

It popped into my head, but my problem with it is that it feels like an A2 guy against a B1 guy. Styles is amazingly well-rounded as a worker, but he doesn't feel like the star of the company. Seth Rollins is great in the ring, but doesn't have that star personality, and shines when he's not put in that position. The match would be great, don't get me wrong, but I think it would need to be lower on the card than the main event.

I'd love to see it as an IC Title match though. Or maybe Styles wins the US belt and it's a unification match and we can end this goddamn brand split?

I can get why people don't see it, because he's been fucked up so badly in WWE and TNA, but there's a parallel universe where the dude was a legitimate draw in wrestling.

You should start a few months before the now, so you can really appreciate how much it changed the company.

It counts to them. Brock Lesnar's belt is the main belt because it is on Raw. Paul Heyman will say that Brock is the greatest champion of the modern era or whatever. Commentators will agree. Roman Reigns already counts himself as a former three-time Universal Champion. It's an interchangeable term, like "World Title" and "WWE Title" were interchangebable. John Cena is a 13-time WWE Champion. But they say 16 because of the three World Titles. If he wins the Universal Title for #17, they will call him a 17-time Universal Champion.

Brock Lesnar has defended the Universal Title 10 times including house shows. He also beat AJ Styles to ensure his belt is seen as the most dominant, which should kayfabe count as something, but whatever. Kazuchika Okada has defended the IWGP Heavyweight Championship 12 times over a 694+ day period of being champion. That averages out to a defense once every 58 days or so. Brock Lesnar has been champion for 407+ days, and defended the belt every 41 days or so. Even if you take his 7 aired defenses, that makes for an average of 58 days, putting him right in league with Okada, assuming all Okada's defenses are aired.

Mr. Nerfect 05-15-2018 06:20 PM

Point is: Brock Lesnar is more of a fighting champ than Kazuchika Okada.

Sting,Goldberg and the flipping Mexicans was the only good things.

#1-norm-fan 05-15-2018 08:14 PM

It's still funny to me that Heyman said back before Lesnar beat Cena for the title at SummerSlam that Lesnar never cared to go after a title until they were unified because he was only interested in being THE man. Pretty much acknowledging that having two world titles makes them both mean shit. And now he's the WWE UNIVERSAL champion. lol

Mr. Nerfect 05-15-2018 08:52 PM

He'd also never compete in a Royal Rumble, because Brock is above gambling for a title shot. Cue 2016 and 2017 Rumble. Heyman is clearly not "sympatico" with the WWE's writing. You can see the change in verbiage when he goes from declaring Cesaro the next World Heavyweight Champion or something to "the next top tier player" to "Brooooock Leeessssnar!"

Mr. Nerfect 05-15-2018 08:55 PM

To be fair, Brock is the dominant champion in WWE now, and they all but acknowledge that the WWE Title is the B-belt.

I really wish they would unify the belts at SummerSlam and just be done with it. Brock vs. AJ for the WWE Title. AJ can be the working champ that appears on both shows and feels like a big deal. You've got Braun with his Fuck the World Championship belt and Seth Rollins and Jeff Hardy are currently your IC and US Champions, and they both have names and pedigrees.

Vince's particulars are getting in the way. He wants a World Champion on each show, but as a result, he has no World Champion and therefore the point of having these champions to draw is completely ass-backwards.

To be fair a bit, NJPW runs way fewer shows and Okada still shows up a lot more than Lesnar even if its not title matches. Okada would probably fall apart after a couple months if he kept the puro style and had to work Punk's insane schedule as champ.

Similar to Taker's streak, WWE pretty much lucked into Lesnar being this close to breaking Punk's record. Probably a big reason why its lasted soo long because WWE wasn't aware or they would have made it obvious his lengthy reign was out of petty reasons.

Mr. Nerfect 05-15-2018 09:59 PM

He doesn't defend the belt more than Lesnar though. The only people who are really bothered by Brock not being on every show, are the suckers who still watch week-to-week. There's an inherent paradox in that.

Mr. Nerfect 05-15-2018 11:48 PM

I just did a thought experiment where I asked "What if the WWE cut all the 205 Live talent and everyone that appeared in the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal?" You'd be surprised how few people you would actually miss. It would streamline the product so much.

I know that's not the name of the game they are playing at the moment, but you could probably save a few million per year by doing that.

I've heard that there are tons of Juvi stories out there about his time in WWE.

Like how he was so delusional that he thought he was on the same level as The Rock, and would refer to himself in the 3rd person backstage.

Or how Psicosis and Super Crazy wanted to be separated from Juvi because they didn't want to be associated with his nonsense and inevitable heat.

I remember hearing how talented he was. I've seen some of his work, so I know he is good, but the reports were generally like "if he could sort his shit out, he could be as huge as Eddie Guerrero."
