The three longest WWF/WWE title reigns are Bruno (7 years), Backlund (5 years), and Hulk's (4 years). The idea of Reigns beating Bruno's record was alway presented as joke about Vince's obsession with Reigns; but now, it seems like making him the longest reigning WWE champion of all time seems a bit more likely. Reigns beating Hulk's record is just the first step.

This poo poo with Roman is genuinely insane. I'm not going to say he's completely talentless, but all this work and time and effort for such a bland, boring individual, and it's all just because he's The Rock's cousin. The endless talent that is currently in, has been in, and will be in the WWE, all playing second banana to this loving guy. Just unreal.

To be fair while it did take ten years, he is the ultimate endboss in WWE now and all business metrics are up from this long title reign. <ight be bored by it but the WWE fans are eating it up so what the gently caress do I know.

After 1000 days is passed, Hogan's time is the next one that matters. Obviously the ultimate goal is surpassing Bruno, but for a company that's determined to make numbers matter, 1000 is first, then 1474

Zarian and the Observer are both saying it now too https://www.f4wonline.com/podcasts/...wwe-title-reign

Exactly. That's part of the reason he's the Chosen One, they don't have to worry about him becoming bigger than the WWE itself.

Business is up but that's largely due to the Saudi deal and the momentum of the WWE brand itself and I'm not even sure if you can credit Roman for that.

Dave was mentioning on WOR that shoulder and knee problems are common for high end body builders for the type of lifting they do cause of stress on joints/high impact nature. It's just not as noticeable cause they're not doing bumps in bodybuilding

And HHH and Vince are 100% marks for high end bodybuilding

They're also doing way more reps than a wrestler would.

Lifting heavy is daily business for athletes who need strength, and with sane coaching isn't a problem. Hell, look at Mark Henry, you don't lift much heavier than that level of powerlifting and he wrestled for 22 years in a big guy style.

I wasn't even thinking about the Saudi deal nor things like Peacock. Attendance is way up, TV ratings are relatively up, the company just feels hot right now.

Yeah, but I think you could also attribute that to Vince being gone, HHH taking over, and the Bloodline/Sami story. Which yes, Roman is a part of, but is not the main thing that drew people in.

They went from year to year having a terrible MSG attendance to a great showing because thousands of fans were waiting for Vince to go? Casuals don’t give a poo poo, and the WWE fans bow to Vince despite being a rapist. The boost in business has been the Bloodline storyline which is the main thing that is drawing people right now.

And I think my head is burning,

To be done with all this measuring of proof.

And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

I really started to read the writing on the WWE when the Shield made their debut. You had two awesome guys who had cut their teeth on the indies and you had the comparatively bland big guy. And people knew which one of the three was going to be the guy to get the rocket.
