GOATS
>>18844579>less and less defenses over timewhats the point? why hog the title if you aren't ever gonna defend it? the 2030 champion finna be champ for a thousand days with 1 defense based on that trajectory
>>18844625house shows anon
>>18844645Those barely exist anymore
>>18844579>735 days>12 defences with a bunch of shitty finishes Great reign lmao
jsyk those are props on a television program that they were scripted to win. The fights are actually fake.
>>188445791 GOAT 3 frauds
>>18844579thought this was an official graphic til I saw roman, they will never mention that his 1k reign was actually with the blue fruit rollup again
>>18845549I love the goofy blue and red belts.
>>18845366True. I also love the Codester.
>>18845336it was literally unwatchable garbage outside of the bloodline storyline. once reigns got in the ring, he was shit, just like he always was and will be.
Punks reign was goated and unfortunately very rarely main evented any ppv while champ.Turning heel on the 1,000 episode of raw against the rock was based
>>18845946based on Phil having a shit reign
damn he really did hold this belt forever
>>18844579>9-21 defenses in ~1 yearPathetic. >>18844625This. By OP image the most aggressive champion was Punk with 1.45 defenses/month (Styles had ~1.21 defenses/month).Bob Backlund reigned for 2135 days as champ and had 901 total title matches:https://www.cagematch.net/?id=5&nr=20&page=5&reign=8&houseShows=trueMeaning he defended an average of 12.66 times a month.
>>18846177And they were all shitty Double Count Outs and DQ finishes and the same match every night in every town. You can't run a match against one guy 100 times on TV
>>18846187https://www.cagematch.net/?id=5&nr=20&page=5&reign=136&houseShows=trueEven when Kofi had a run for 180 days he defended for 48 times, meaning he averaged 8 per month. And even if you excluded dark matches that's still 12 defenses or 2/month more than any of the 4 "top" champions in the OP.
>>18846177>>18846229>We're no longer running wrestlers into an early grave with pointless house show matches that never made any money (WWE made a billion dollars in 2020 because they couldn't do house shows anymore)>This is a bad thing
>>18846236yes
>>18846295>Wrestler instincts and chemistry suffer without reps>Smaller markets deprived of live wrestling to take families to see and meet stars choking out new fan opportunitiesBut number go up don't you see?
>>18844579Imagine telling niggas in 2012 that AJ Styles was gonna be WWE champion for a whole year in the future
Top 2 are better than the bottom 2
>>18846393And I could've gone to the show where he won the title but I stopped watching wrestling like 5 months before because of that fag black pedo in nxt
>>18845343>jsyk those are props on a television program that they were scripted to win. The fights are actually fake.
>>18846295No one goes to them anyways, just have fake matches in the PC
>>18845306That's the point.
>>18845549basedI've decided his entire title reign was pure headcanon because for this
>>18844579Was Cody's reign really that long or were the past 20 years filled with so many short reigns that a year is long?
>>18845343why do wrestlers cite their championship reigns as real accolades outside of the TV show?
>>18844579wtf aj was champ for that long? when was this lmao
>>18846446lmao what an odd reason to stop, especially considering they shitcanned himyou deserved to miss out
>>188473052017-2018To be fair, the reign was pretty shit. He won it off of Jinder Mahal, did a NEVER ENDING program with Nakamura from basically the Royal Rumble till two months after Wrestlemania (where the feud devolved into kicking each other in the nuts), to a Samoa Joe home invasion angle (promos were good but matches were eh), then I dont remember shit until he dropped the belt to Bryan on Smackdown.
>>18845688>Unwatchable>Started a new boom periodTranny upside down logic is so funny
>>18847382>Started a new boomthis is like edrones version of AEW's "feeling restored" meme. The last boom period was in the year 2000. It's been all downhill ever since.
>>18847394How come Netflix gave them 5 billion dollars for RAW then?
>>18847334Sorry I don't like gay blacks
>>18845343meds
>>18847399Netflix execs are retarded
>>18847399>for RAWwhy are edrones always so disingenuous?Netflix paid 5 billion for WWE's entire back catalog, all future live PPVs, Raw, Smackdown and NXT, and original series like Unreal. That's 5 billion to own WWE globally. Only in the US did they split Smackdown, NXT and PPVs to other streaming services.5 billion for all WWE programming across the globe is not a flex at all. WWE used to have individual rights deals for each show across different countries.5 billion just got Raw sounds impressive. But I'm afraid that's not what happened.
>>18847415Yeah, some random pedo in the NXT midcard must've really ruined Smackdown for you.
>>18847382im not an aew tranny i hate it more than WWE but reigns fucking blows.
>>18847394WWE was selling out every single venue they ran, and started making even more money hand-over-fist.
>>18847437>globallySo a bunch of third-world markets. Gotcha.
>>18847471Is that seriously your cope?
>>18847437lol far be it from me to defend WWE but im sure you took victory laps over AEW getting 180 million. meanwhile you're saying WWE getting 5 billion is not a flex. hilarious.
>>18847481Netflix literally doesn't care enough to run ads during the show internationally. The global market, outside of a cash cow like China, is merely icing on the cake at best.
>>18847462No you do faggot
>>18847484I don't watch AEW>>18847493that doesn't mean WWE is experiencing another boom period.
>>18847453You seem awfully defensive about a gay pedo
