Tbf most of those title defences will be house shows and other non televised events. Roman would probably be up there if he worked anything but the occasional Smackdown.

It seems to work for them tbh. If you stop looking at WWE through the lense of media and start looking at it through the lense of marketing and advertising then constantly telling people what to think rather than letting them make their own minds is the correct way to push their top wrestler.

You've got to admit, you are kind of implausible



Honestly surprised they haven't added Roman's two reigns together so they can say he's been champion for 1500 days.

Y'know, Konami used to give the winners of certain Yugioh tournaments title belts to carry...






All I'm saying is, y'know...we hook Roman up with a Yugioh deck, teach him how to play, get a few more belts around his waist...

Hieroglyph belt looks sick, Orichalcos belt....okay, I get what they were going for at least, what the zippidy doo da are the other two? An Exodia belt and.......???????

"Wrestling is fake so who cares how long Roman is champ for its not impressive". Well then, why care about why anyone wins or loses.

Idk the whole "its fake so blah blah blah" is always so asinine.

funniest part of this run imo is that all his matches stink and end with cheating. and somehow this leads to the conclusion he's the greatest of all time.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

When I hear about Goat matches in w w e in the 1000 day reign there's a near 100% chance that GUNTHER is involved and Roman is not

He's not even the best champion in wwe at the moment, Shane Douglas rear end fucker to Gunthers RVD

Having a long reign should be meaningful because it should be a sign that the performer has been doing such an amazing job of getting over with the fans that nobody else on the roster could take their place. But in WWE reigns are just about the whims of one person.

I'm 100% on board with replacing trophies with championship belts for all sports and competitive hobbies. I want to see the Hot Dog eating champion strutting to the stage with pyro and the Big Gold.

Guy Fieri hosts a tournament show that does this and it makes it a lot more fun, he gives all the chefs music and little entrance videos. The past champs all come out with their belts too, it's pretty great and fills a niche I didn't know was there as a wrestling and cooking competition fan.

I watched a lot of Iron Chef reruns recently and it's basically cooking X wrestling, right down to promos and (what I assume are) worked rivalries.
