Randy Orton surpasses Shawn Michaels...
...in total time as WWE Champion. The current top ten:
1) Bruno Sammartino 4040 days 2) Hulk Hogan 2184 days 3) Bob Backlund 2138 days 4) Pedro Morales 1027 days 5) John Cena 947 days 6) Bret Hart 654 days 7) Triple H 539 days 8T) Randy Savage 529 days 8T) Steve Austin 529 days 10) Randy Orton 421 days Read this on another site earlier. I have to admit, this surprised me. Does not seem like Orton's time at the top has been long enough. Or that HBK spent so little time with the belt compared to some of his contemporaries. Quote:

I'm way more shocked that Austin is only 8th.

Now I'm kind of curious to see the entire list. May take a shot at putting one together tonight unless someone else is feeling ambitious.

Cena has a ways to go before reaching Hogan. Probably never will.
Also, I didn't know Macho Man had spent so much time as Champion. |

This is only the WWE Championship. Triple H has also been World Heavyweight Champion 616 days.

Sammartino's total time is basically impossible to top. 11 full years as champ. Even combining time for both belts nobody is gonna hold it that long again.

i thought Hogan was number 1 because in the 80's he always had it. Also surprised at HHH he seemed like another one that always has the title. Lol Rock doesnt even make the list

Triple H's days came in an era where titles switched hands a lot more often. So did John Cena's. Pretty crazy to think that they're already on a list like that.

Austin spent more time chasing the belt than he did holding it, when Vince was keeping it away from him. That's why he's not higher up

Other than Cena's first reign (which was pretty much 14 months, minus the 3 weeks Edge had it) and his 2nd reign (12-13 months), all of his other reigns (World and WWE Title) have been less than 3 months.

suprising...... Never would have thought Orton was so high on the list and HBK was barely Top 10......

The biggest problem with this list is you have to consider how often the strap was defended. I'm sure while HBK is at 11, he defended the title more than Bruno. Not taking anything away from Bruno, Backlund, or Pedro (fuck Hogan) but guys like Cena, Orton, Savage, Bret, etc had to put their title on the line more often.

It did take Orton twice as many reigns to topple HBK in total days and about 100 days less than Austin who held it 6 times as well.

Totally didn't think Savage would be that high, seeing as Hulk dominated the 80s basically. I mean he had his time, but idk...

Apart from his reign as a heel in 2001, Austin never really held the title that long.

I knew Sammartino held it the longest, just didnt realise the gap between 1st and 10th was so big, hes almost double Hogans in 2nd. Love to see a comparison to the NWA/WCW title though.

Also amazed that I would trust loopydates facts that much that I would believe that Sean Stasiak held the title if he told me he had.

Things get a little craziak...on Planet Stasiak!
I'm sort of surprised that Orton has cracked the top ten. He's also got 28 days as World Heavyweight Champion. If you combine the time that Hulk Hogan spent as WCW Champion with his time as WWE Champion, you get a total of 3361, I believe. That's still 679 days behind Bruno Sammartino. Ric Flair spent 3101 days as NWA World Heavyweight Champion, 506 days as WCW Champion, 118 days as WWE Champion, and I don't know whether people count this, but he spent 63 days as WCW International World Heavyweight Champion. That gives Ric Flair a total of 3788 days as a World Champion. It's tricky with Flair, because it's hard to know just which of his title reigns are considered "cannon," so to speak. So either way you cut the cheese, Bruno Sammartino is still the leader, with Ric Flair in second and Hulk Hogan in third. |

The thing that impresses me the most is that somebody like Shawn, did it in only like 2-3 runs with the belt, same with Savage. They did these numbers in a era where the belt meant something not just a hot potato that is now. So to me honestly I would love for them to add such and such dates in so many title reigns, that would really make the list really feel more legit and add more to some hall of fame resumes!

Tomorrow I'll try tackling the World Title (since its RAW return, anyway. Too complicated before that), then combining the two. Really interested to see how that changes things.
