who cares about this recent history nonsense, in the scheme of anything measured in records or title reigns or anything wrestling for that matter, it should always be compared to the history of wrestling, not the last 4 to 5 years. WWE is benefiting right now from two major things: #1 there is no competition anymore, and #2 the majority of the people on wrestling borads and dirt sheets have only been watching wrestling for 8-10 years(meaning they are young)
With the #1 point it means vince can take advantage of the no competition factor to build something or someone out of nothing. Long title reigns are presentable when the fans have no outlet to watch anything else. Hulk Hogan was champion for over 4 years not because there wasn't any other wrestlers to put the belt on at the time but because Hogan needed to be champion to get over as huge as he was, lets face it, Hogan had no skills in the ring much like JBL (both have one move) and both were better on the mic than in the ring. If you sell someone garbage enough times sooner or later a handful will start to believe it is not garbage. I think JBL has done a fair job as champion, good promos, has taken on whoever they threw at him that month , and made the best out of the lame gimmick he has now. what more can you ask for? And as unpopular as my next statement is: I'd rather see him keep the belt at wm21 as opposed to giving it to Mark Mark err John Cena who is even less credible.... the guy is from Massachusettes(same as marky mark) with a fade (same as marky mark) who raps (marky mark) badly (marky mark) and wears sagging denim shorts ALL the time(marky mark).Cena is over so big he will most likely get the title but i feel its a mistake, if cena doesnt win he is still over huge. if jbl loses his character is nothing without the title, much like Hogan.
back in the wwf vs. wcw days title reigns were so short to keep the audience watching you never knew if a title would change hands on any given monday or any ppv, now we can kind of tell when and where things are going to happen, but with no competition i wouldnt be surprised to start seeing longer title reigns out of wwe champions, because let's face it, no matter who is champion or how much we do not like their gimmick, and how much we sit and bitch and moan about it here on the forum, we are still true fans and will watch no matter what.
sorry to offend any john cena or hulk hogan fans, i will take all criticism of my opinions u guys throw at me
