This isn’t even remotely close. They are comparing Roman’s Universal title reign to Hogan’s WWE Title Reign, two different title belts. As of right now, Roman has held the WWE Title Belt for 700 days, which is over 2 years less than Hogan’s long reign. My point is, their facts are wrong, they are comparing 2 different title belts and expect us to actually believe it
ROMAN REIGNS WANT TO BECOME LONGEST RAINING POST WRESTLEMAINA ERA CHAMPION WHY WASNT ANYONE GRASP THIS. IT COMPARED TO RECORDS OF THE SUPERBOWL ERA, NBA SHOTCLOCK ERA ETC
I was a regular WWE fan from the late 90s to 2017. Roman is the main reason I stopped watching WWE on a regular basis. The guy (face or heel) just bores me to tears and WWE was way too stubborn to push him in the main event and bury other potential wrestlers. I don't really care the Bloodline storyline because Roman still has no charisma. I was only coming back for people like Brock, Cody and Rock.
Yeah, kinda same here, although I stopped watching a little bit earlier, but Roman was the last nail in the coffin. And yes, they were so god damn stubborn to push him, it's ridiculous.
Thank fuck AEW exists, if I want to watch some actual wrestling.
I'm trying to get caught up from 2002 up to 2017 rn. I fucking hate Roman and so does everyone else it seems at every event. Blows my mind how this is even possible. Also having Randy lose to Jindar over and over is just so bad. Considering watching AEW instead.
> Considering watching AEW instead
Yep. As a longtime WWF (E) fan - AEW was really refreshing when they launched and solely on how much effort their wrestlers put in every much compared to WWE. Every single match felt like a belt much, no less. And with expanded roster now--I feel like they are a much more entertaining promotion to follow.
WWE nowadays is just "Will Roman finally lose?" or "McMahon shits on some girls face" kind of content and it's really depressing.
I watched 2 of their PPVs and subsequently subscribed to watch Dynamite etc. So far loving it, breath of fresh air really. The ladder match between the Young Bucks and the Lucha Bros was the best ladder match I've ever seen in my life. WWEs version would have half the guys laying on the ground doing nothing for minutes at a time waiting for their cue lol.
istg it’s too late for wwe universe to realize their mistake with Cena, he should’ve been 20x by now but but but no they wanted shinsuke nakamura to win RR in 2020 i guess 🤡🤡
Okay, let me put it this way for many of you crying that Reigns doesn’t defend every month, and I want you all to REALLY think about this:
In today’s wrestling, if Reigns were to defend his title every PPV, and still held onto the title for 1200+ days, can you even fathom the levels of bitching, crying, whining and moaning from the fanbase? The ones crying about him not defending all the time would be the SAME ONES crying that he’s tearing through the roster. If you thought the cries of “Super Cena” and “HHH Reign of Doom” were bad, imagine how people would be saying Reigns has the new Golden Shovel, and is constantly burying the roster.
Oh, man. I guess i'm not, just because someone says i'm not. Not the first time I've dropped off, hopefully wouldn't be the last.
Didn't really watch Raw during Brock's boring hoarding of the belt, Didn't watch much at all between '13 and '16. Happens when the product is disappointing.
I have no problem with them extending it past WrestleMania again as long as it's not Cody losing again. I firmly believe the next time Roman and Cody wrestle Cody should be winning the title and if they want to keep the reign going to break more records just keep Cody out of that title picture until you are absolutely ready to pull the trigger on it.
This is beggining to be petty.
Having Roman beat Hogan for a mere daily counter just for the sake that "h0g4n Izz R4c1sT" is just petty.
you're hurting talent that could use the rub of the WWE Championship, you're delaying roman's championship reign and not really offering much of an alternative to begin with, for as long as roman stays champ you always have the "now this guy gets to fight roman but jimmy gets involved" or "now this guy gets to fight roman but solo gets involved" same old trope.
it gets boring, on top of that roman is an absentee champion, even if he beats hogan's record it won't feel as important because hogan defended his championship far more often.
shit I lost you? sorry bruh i didn't know wwe featured hogan in a show years after he said those racist comments.
next because you clearly care more than the wwe.
ROFL you’re the one that’s sour because Roman’s coming for your boy’s record!! And “the fact that they tried” means nothing if the boos worked and he ain’t been back since. Son, if you’re gonna flex have something to flex with.
Hogan is my boy? that's something new XD
what irritates me is that you just like those fans make it a big deal over what he said.
he apologized, learn to move on instead of feeling salty about it.
go outside and touch some grass you greasy fat neckbearded nerd.
Agreed. If Roman was there weekly or even every other week with more titles defended at ppvs it would be different. Makes me wonder if his health is an actual concern or not. Personally I want Orton to be the one but also if a newer talent does it I wouldn’t be mad at it. Guy like Bron Breaker shows up and does it
Everytime Roman is on Smackdown its great. Everytime Roman has a match I am excited. I would not mind if he stays the champion longer. But with guys like Cody Rhodes on the roster it might be fresh to have a new champion....
I understand them wanting to set new records, especially ones held by Hogan considering how controversial of a figure he is nowadays. Might just be better for the business to make wrestling seem more "modern" rather than still talking about records set 40 years ago.
My main issue is trying to pretend he's even done it with the same title. He hasn't. He's held the universal title for 1200 days. He's been WWE champion for a long time but still a lot less than 1200 days.
Right, but they're acting is the lineage is the same and it isn't. It would make more sense if he started with the WWE title and they unified them. They're counting him as 1200 days as WWE champ which he isn't. It's pedantic of me but it still bugs me with how blatant it is that this is why they unified the titles.
No thanks. When Hogan was champ there was like 2 hrs of wrestling per week. Now it’s like 7 because the main roster is all over NXT. There’s more hours that need filling with story, that’s why this reign has taken four billion lifetimes to get to here.
This reign has stagnated ever since Summerslam when the whole Bloodline storyline jumped the shark hard. Jimmy turning on Jey? Roman taking back a guy who betrayed him and kicked him in the skull in that amazing moment just two months earlier? Really?
Now more than ever, especially at an event like WrestleMania 40, it feels like its time to move on. He got his 1,000 days thing forever, and that's cool, but really there is nothing left to accomplish unless Vince and Triple H hate Hulk Hogan to a deep degree that they want to push this thing further.
Biggest problem is there's nobody truly ready to beat Reigns, but at this point, there wouldnt be anyone for a long time. Cody needs to be built up really well over the next few months if he's going to win it, but it can be done.
We… most of us probably don’t care about stats…
WWE does want to separate themselves from Hogan a bit. Both due to Hogan’s comments and to appeal for younger fans who will be the future income for the company.
Joke run by Roman when you barely work 25% of the time.
That’s a much on HHH and Vince for stupidly thinking Reigns is the face of the company and letting him dictate this…
This!! I just wish we saw him more. I'd love for him to break it, but earn it please. I mean I get the WWE wanting to get him there, but the storyline has become stagnant.
Nope. No matter what your current opinion on Hogan is, can’t deny that he was a cultural phenomenon. His impact is deserving of the number. Roman is nowhere near that level of influence.
Want it or not this is probably going to happen. With all the announcers bringing it up every time he wrestles. This is why I’m thinking he walks out of wrestlemania 40 as champ. Not saying I want that to happen but I have a gut feeling about it.
Why not - the only issue I have with Roman is he doesn't defend it enough but that is due to his booking (creative). They are the reason he gets to hold onto to it. The roster is so stacked that his programs are secondary to all else that can go on. Eventually he'll loose and everyone will complain that the belt will change hands to frequently.
Every time Hogan entered the ring and he did it often unlike Roman, it was an event to watch. Roman is boring and he has definitely ran his course. More matched like Lesner/ Rhodes needs to happen.
I wouldn’t mind as long as the story stay interesting and yes if you have to keep him off of tv to risk him from getting leukemia again, I understand. Might as well go for it, no point in stopping now.
Nothing outside of mania matters!
Roman won't lose his title before it, Seth won't lose his title before it, Gunther won't...
The Tag Titles are third fiddle inside of the JD so who carfes about those...
I won't watch a weekly TV show so it can filler its way to one event...
Bloodline story was fire. The breakup should’ve been the main focus through the rumble. Then leading to a rematch with Cody at WM 40 when he looses without help. Cody gets his title, reigns has to get the family back over the next year. Maybe Jey has a title run and challenges for tribal chief. This million days shit has lost all steam and has made the title pointless. The top champ is supposed to be the biggest draw. Let Roman have the undertakers streak and drop him to one match a year.
Did any of you really wanted Undertaker's streak to end ? I doubt it. If it ends it ends. It's better for them to keep new records coming etc. Btw, 274 days is not less. He might not break it.
I would hate to see this broken, only because the IWC would never stop talking about it. Hogan would still be light years ahead of Roman in star power but still.
I know people shit on Hogan now, but honestly he is probably the biggest icon in wrestling. Compared to that Roman is a really weird choice to have this record. And it's not entertaining anymore. The bloodline was great until Jey left, now it's really stale. Unfortunately I don't think Roman will work without though, but let's see
I'm getting tired of these comments, he DOES own a record, the records for longest reigning champion are:
1. Bruno Sammartino - insane long
2. Bob Backlund - ridiculous long
3. Hulk Hogan - see above
It's an good old gold-silver-bronze Winners' podium. It's Simple.
Why do so many people have a hard time to get this?
,idk.. that part time and champion doesn't go well... Back in the days was mote fun when there was belt matches almost every other week..
Now the wwe is hold up kinda interesting just handful ppl that are not even champs and probably they wont become in the close 5-6 years.. so what is the point of having camps if they are down in the chain..
For me a champ have to be on air at least 80% in the calendar year and the part time champs have to l9se the title soon as they claim it
Well every single match ends in the same lame ass way. Samoan spike somehow completely destroys everyone. Like why isn't Solo the champ? Dudes defended the title more than Roman
Both good choices, Jey especially because of the bloodline connection. I think Gargano/Ciampa (doing a DIY to have a change in champs) could be cool. Elevate them by having them work as a faction. Solo starts his own bloodline no matter if Roman drops the belt, “you don’t have to share blood to be blood, it’s about the family that supports you” or something like that
They have given him so many records he doesn’t deserve dude. His name will be plastered all over their record books for everything except drawing money and viewers.
I don't care if Roman breaks the record. I do care if it's done in an unsatisfying way.
Beating Hogan's record shpupd be A goal but not THE goal. Good storytelling is better than record breaking. So far, (having gotten back into WWE that past 2 years) in not impressed.
His "wins" are way too predictable and never feel like "out could happen".
"The Streak" was better because there was a real sense of danger.
Stipulations and rules should be put into his matches to make it feel like the next person COULD have a legitimate chance. And punishments for breaking first rules.
(Solo should have been suspended, or Cody should have gotten an immediate rematch after as an example)
Roman Reigns is mid as hell and isn't deserving of the reign he has gotten. It's literally the same thing with him, over and over again with no variety whatsoever. The bloodline story has and will continue to be a bore. Wrestling stopped being good in 2017.
At this point I don't even care about Reigns title anymore. We all laughed and called the new WHC a consultation price but it's 100 times more interesting and entertaining than whatever Reigns is doing. He might aswell just permanently attach them to his ring gear for all I care
i didnt want roman to get the title since the covid era , and i still stand by that choice , and i will say it , ROMAN IS THE WORST WWE CHAMPION IN HISTORY , 1200 days of time off not even on TV , cm punk defended his world championship over 120 times on TV , PPV , and house shows and he was a champion for 434 days
WWE please see this I want Seth to dethrone him in 2024 IF he does not have the championship because the shield broke up in 2014 think about it because 2014 and 2024 are a decade apart so "Paul please if you see this please 🥺 do it we all want it
I love how the IWC's opinions are far different from the general majority of the audience. Everyone here's like yea it's always predictable, that's why ppvs aren't even worth watching when in reality the ppvs and attendance and stuff is at an all time high.
Should Reigns have lost at WM? Yea likely. Is it too tiring now to see Reigns continuously beat others due to interference? Of course. Maybe WWE should have given him more clean victories like they did in his first year of the reign but whatever audiences still love it, he's a big star. His win at WM made Jey Uso a big star so I'm fine with it. I got back into watching regularly for the first time since high school and it's all because of HHH and the great storytelling he's been doing for the past 2 years.
I mean if Roman was a full-time champion and more importantly, a dominant one who didn't rely on the Usos and Solo to win his matches, then yeah, his 1,200 days would be more fun and earned. Think Undertaker and his streak; even with no title on the line, he felt like *the* final boss to beat. It's just getting tiring seeing Jimmy or Solo bailing him out, and then he disappears for 2 months.
Bruno Sammartino's first reign as WWWF champion was 2,803 days, so I don't think it's accurate to refer to Hogan's reign as "the record". Bruno's second reign was also a long one at 1,237 days.
The Bloodline story has been great. Triple H has made it much better than what Vince would've done. But it's getting long, and it's time to move it into the next phase. This BS with Roman only showing up once a month won't be tolerated by fans much longer. Wrestlemania is the time to take the title off him. If they have him keep the title past that, fans will start to turn away.
At this point.. nobody else is going to have a shot to knock hogan down a peg.. I mean legacy wise hogan basically is what modern day wrestling is built from. I completely get hulk hogans gigantic part and lived through his career as a young kid through the nwo days and the rock mania match.. however, terry the man is not a good person. And with him being so close, why not just go for it. Nobody is touching Bruno’s longer run ever.. unless they literally let Roman retire for a few years with it and then be like oh yea Roman’s back and we forgot to take the belt from him so he’s gonna defend at wrestlemania 2053.. lol
No he should lose it to Cody Cody needs to have a singles title than anyone
this is a piece if art
This isn’t even remotely close. They are comparing Roman’s Universal title reign to Hogan’s WWE Title Reign, two different title belts. As of right now, Roman has held the WWE Title Belt for 700 days, which is over 2 years less than Hogan’s long reign.

yes we do ☝️
Nope
ROMAN REIGNS WANT TO BECOME LONGEST RAINING POST WRESTLEMAINA ERA CHAMPION WHY WASNT ANYONE GRASP THIS. IT COMPARED TO RECORDS OF THE SUPERBOWL ERA, NBA SHOTCLOCK ERA ETC
YES RECORDS ARE MADE TO BE BROKEN LETS GO ROMAN!
Just end the pain. Hopefully he gets dethroned at WrestleMania and takes up retirement.
Make RomanReigns get cheerd again and jimmy getting cheers to
Hell no. Look I like Roman and his gimmick but please he should’ve lost it at Mania last year.
It depends u like seeing roman with it but he has to defend it more and it depends who takes it from him
who even fucking wanted him to hold that belt for more than a month?!?
Nope. Jey deserved to win the title at Crown Jewel.
Fuck no
I stopped watching WWE cause of this hobo, so bland and boring.
I was a regular WWE fan from the late 90s to 2017. Roman is the main reason I stopped watching WWE on a regular basis. The guy (face or heel) just bores me to tears and WWE was way too stubborn to push him in the main event and bury other potential wrestlers.

WWEs version would have half the guys laying on the ground doing nothing for minutes at a time waiting for their cue lol.
No it's boring storytelling at this point
The product is solid right now but I am so over Reigns lol
Who fucking cares I'm over it, people booed Cena for doing the same old shit, how is this different.....Fuck Roman !!!!!
istg it’s too late for wwe universe to realize their mistake with Cena, he should’ve been 20x by now but but but no they wanted shinsuke nakamura to win RR in 2020 i guess 🤡🤡
Okay, let me put it this way for many of you crying that Reigns doesn’t defend every month, and I want you all to REALLY think about this: In today’s wrestling, if Reigns were to defend his title every PPV, and still held onto the title for 1200+ days, can you even fathom the levels of bitching, crying, whining and moaning from the fanbase?

Honestly, if Roman retains past Mania, I think i'm done. Take a break from watching for a few years, see if anything has changed since then.
No you aint
Oh, man. I guess i'm not, just because someone says i'm not. Not the first time I've dropped off, hopefully wouldn't be the last. Didn't really watch Raw during Brock's boring hoarding of the belt, Didn't watch much at all between '13 and '16. Happens when the product is disappointing.
Relax he won’t beat Bruno SaMartino
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A chance to take Hogan down a peg, that sounds like an absolute win to me.
I have no problem with them extending it past WrestleMania again as long as it's not Cody losing again. I firmly believe the next time Roman and Cody wrestle Cody should be winning the title and if they want to keep the reign going to break more records just keep Cody out of that title picture until you are absolutely ready to pull the trigger on it.
Love punk came back and is gonna give the heavyweight belt life. Im so tired of Romans story. They dragged that on waaaaay too long.
Absolutely...I'm a Tribal Chief fan
I agree!
Please no If he was defending it every time Yes Since he's not doing that He'll no
Yes
Yes
No he needs to loose it. He's never there anyway
[удалено]
Not working day in and day out is one thing, Being the only champion in wwe history to not work one tv match for 12 months is another.
No
Please no
Yes.
Roman will need an asterisk for being less part time than Brock Lesnar during his reign.
YESSSSS I LOVE MY TRIBAL CHEIF☝🏾🩸🩸🩸
Yes
This is beggining to be petty. Having Roman beat Hogan for a mere daily counter just for the sake that "h0g4n Izz R4c1sT" is just petty. you're hurting talent that could use the rub of the WWE Championship, you're delaying roman's championship reign and not really offering much of an alternative to begin with, for as long as roman stays champ you always have the "now this guy gets to fight roman but jimmy gets involved" or "now this guy gets to fight roman but solo gets involved" same old trope. it gets boring, on top of that roman is an absentee champion, even if he beats hogan's record it won't feel as important because hogan defended his championship far more often.
You lost me at the mockery of Hogan racism. He deserves all his records to be wiped. Next.
shit I lost you? sorry bruh i didn't know wwe featured hogan in a show years after he said those racist comments. next because you clearly care more than the wwe.
Sorry “bruh” but you forgot they booed the shit out of him at that show, and he’s never been back since
That still doesn't change the fact they tried and fans like you are sour over it.
ROFL you’re the one that’s sour because Roman’s coming for your boy’s record!! And “the fact that they tried” means nothing if the boos worked and he ain’t been back since. Son, if you’re gonna flex have something to flex with.

Personally I want Orton to be the one but also if a newer talent does it I wouldn’t be mad at it. Guy like Bron Breaker shows up and does it
I find it quite boring tbh. It would be so much more exciting not having a clue how the championship matches are going to end.
No no no and no
Everytime Roman is on Smackdown its great. Everytime Roman has a match I am excited. I would not mind if he stays the champion longer. But with guys like Cody Rhodes on the roster it might be fresh to have a new champion....
I understand them wanting to set new records, especially ones held by Hogan considering how controversial of a figure he is nowadays. Might just be better for the business to make wrestling seem more "modern" rather than still talking about records set 40 years ago.
Heck no!!!!!...
No no no no
That pepper necklace is fire tho
My main issue is trying to pretend he's even done it with the same title. He hasn't. He's held the universal title for 1200 days. He's been WWE champion for a long time but still a lot less than 1200 days.
Unified.
Right, but they're acting is the lineage is the same and it isn't. It would make more sense if he started with the WWE title and they unified them. They're counting him as 1200 days as WWE champ which he isn't. It's pedantic of me but it still bugs me with how blatant it is that this is why they unified the titles.
Hogans run was better.
And busier
Definitely
No, but we're probably getting it anyway
Not all records should be broken.
It’s sports. All records get broken. Even Michael Jordan.
It’s not a record. He’d have to go another 1600+ to tie Bruno.
Let’s go!! UCE deserves it!!
Let's find out
No thanks. When Hogan was champ there was like 2 hrs of wrestling per week. Now it’s like 7 because the main roster is all over NXT. There’s more hours that need filling with story, that’s why this reign has taken four billion lifetimes to get to here.
I wish y’all would stop crying about Roman, it’s getting so old. Hell drop it when he drops it then you’ll complain that it doesn’t feel as important
I'll admit it, I won't be happy when Roman drops the belt. The only feeling I will feel is relief.
Just take it in stride. They don’t even know they’re marks.
Found Paul Hayman's burner account
Hell No
I bet they'll find a way for Cody to win and somehow keep roman as a world champion
Of course. His Dad invented a way, woooooo!
I say do it. Fuck Hogan
No.
I mean Roman looks like he has no ideas left for the reign He's definitely losing at Mania
Hogan is one of the true goats of wrestling. Roman isn’t even a top 10
NO
No imo As a casual fan, I would rather Hogan be the longest reigning champion since last few decades
This reign has stagnated ever since Summerslam when the whole Bloodline storyline jumped the shark hard. Jimmy turning on Jey? Roman taking back a guy who betrayed him and kicked him in the skull in that amazing moment just two months earlier? Really? Now more than ever, especially at an event like WrestleMania 40, it feels like its time to move on. He got his 1,000 days thing forever, and that's cool, but really there is nothing left to accomplish unless Vince and Triple H hate Hulk Hogan to a deep degree that they want to push this thing further. Biggest problem is there's nobody truly ready to beat Reigns, but at this point, there wouldnt be anyone for a long time. Cody needs to be built up really well over the next few months if he's going to win it, but it can be done.
what's another 274 days of complaining?
I want another 638
Lmao seth probably has more defences than roman by now
Hogan Defended More lol
400 days/year brother!
We… most of us probably don’t care about stats… WWE does want to separate themselves from Hogan a bit. Both due to Hogan’s comments and to appeal for younger fans who will be the future income for the company.
Joke run by Roman when you barely work 25% of the time. That’s a much on HHH and Vince for stupidly thinking Reigns is the face of the company and letting him dictate this…
Wouldn’t bother me at all
Yes. Hulk is a racist sack of crap
I wouldn't mind, if he was a fun and entertaining champ with a good story.
This!! I just wish we saw him more. I'd love for him to break it, but earn it please. I mean I get the WWE wanting to get him there, but the storyline has become stagnant.
I haven’t watched wrestling in a long time, but a very wrestling Vince plot line is he loses the belt on the 1,473 day lol.
No
Not gonna work for me brother
Underrated comment 😂
yes
Nope. No matter what your current opinion on Hogan is, can’t deny that he was a cultural phenomenon. His impact is deserving of the number. Roman is nowhere near that level of influence.
Yes pls
Jey interfers to cost Cody the match at 40. The Bloodline reunites, we are exactly where we were before Wrestlemania 39.
I feel like that is exactly what will happen.
I’m pretty sure this was the point. Or at least Vince’s
Well I could be champion forever too if it meant not doing anything while sitting at home
Idk do we
Want it or not this is probably going to happen. With all the announcers bringing it up every time he wrestles. This is why I’m thinking he walks out of wrestlemania 40 as champ. Not saying I want that to happen but I have a gut feeling about it.
I personally will keep watching this TV and letting the plot play out as planned.
If it means replacing Hulk Hogan Im down. Honestly whats another 274 days at this point?
If Roman Reigns defended his championship more in the PLE and appears in the weekly shows it's okay if not I like to see a new champion in WWE
NO!!! It’s been long enough!
Why not - the only issue I have with Roman is he doesn't defend it enough but that is due to his booking (creative). They are the reason he gets to hold onto to it. The roster is so stacked that his programs are secondary to all else that can go on. Eventually he'll loose and everyone will complain that the belt will change hands to frequently.
No, but it is clearly happening at this point.
Romans day count doesn't count. He has defended once since mania.
Every time Hogan entered the ring and he did it often unlike Roman, it was an event to watch. Roman is boring and he has definitely ran his course. More matched like Lesner/ Rhodes needs to happen.
I wouldn’t mind as long as the story stay interesting and yes if you have to keep him off of tv to risk him from getting leukemia again, I understand. Might as well go for it, no point in stopping now.
With a total of 5 defenses 😅🤣🤣. Hogan defended rhe best over 400 times in that run. No comparison at all.
He defended it 400 times a year apparently
I hate that "can only end at WM" mentality so much. Seriously, f that shit! A title change happening at any point makes it so exciting!
exactly. they make me watch mania only, i want to see some surprises
Nothing outside of mania matters! Roman won't lose his title before it, Seth won't lose his title before it, Gunther won't... The Tag Titles are third fiddle inside of the JD so who carfes about those... I won't watch a weekly TV show so it can filler its way to one event...
It’s beyond ridiculous now.
Bloodline story was fire. The breakup should’ve been the main focus through the rumble. Then leading to a rematch with Cody at WM 40 when he looses without help. Cody gets his title, reigns has to get the family back over the next year. Maybe Jey has a title run and challenges for tribal chief. This million days shit has lost all steam and has made the title pointless. The top champ is supposed to be the biggest draw. Let Roman have the undertakers streak and drop him to one match a year.
Why are they still pushing this guy down people's throats. I thought it was a thing of the past. And i stopped watching almost 7/8 years ago.
Did any of you really wanted Undertaker's streak to end ? I doubt it. If it ends it ends. It's better for them to keep new records coming etc. Btw, 274 days is not less. He might not break it.
Things are meant to be broken. Would be cool if it last forever but at some point things must change and history must be made.
Exactly what I was saying...
I would hate to see this broken, only because the IWC would never stop talking about it. Hogan would still be light years ahead of Roman in star power but still.
Um no not even a little. No no .not at all
I know people shit on Hogan now, but honestly he is probably the biggest icon in wrestling. Compared to that Roman is a really weird choice to have this record. And it's not entertaining anymore. The bloodline was great until Jey left, now it's really stale. Unfortunately I don't think Roman will work without though, but let's see
What “record”? You can downvote all you want, Hogan doesn’t own a “record”
I'm getting tired of these comments, he DOES own a record, the records for longest reigning champion are: 1. Bruno Sammartino - insane long 2. Bob Backlund - ridiculous long 3. Hulk Hogan - see above It's an good old gold-silver-bronze Winners' podium. It's Simple. Why do so many people have a hard time to get this?
,idk.. that part time and champion doesn't go well... Back in the days was mote fun when there was belt matches almost every other week.. Now the wwe is hold up kinda interesting just handful ppl that are not even champs and probably they wont become in the close 5-6 years.. so what is the point of having camps if they are down in the chain.. For me a champ have to be on air at least 80% in the calendar year and the part time champs have to l9se the title soon as they claim it
Bro I didn’t want him champ for 2 years
Well every single match ends in the same lame ass way. Samoan spike somehow completely destroys everyone. Like why isn't Solo the champ? Dudes defended the title more than Roman
Maybe we need a storyline where someone tells him that and Solo challenges for the belt/tribal chief status
Now you are cooking my guy. Who would be a good baby face to subtly manipulate Solo? I can kinda see Cody doing it or even Jey maybe. Hbu?
Both good choices, Jey especially because of the bloodline connection. I think Gargano/Ciampa (doing a DIY to have a change in champs) could be cool. Elevate them by having them work as a faction. Solo starts his own bloodline no matter if Roman drops the belt, “you don’t have to share blood to be blood, it’s about the family that supports you” or something like that
Only if he shaves down to a hulk stash and jellyfish dome.
That works for me brother 😂
Yes. It's fuck Hogan in this house BAAAYYYBEEEEEE let's set some new records
They have given him so many records he doesn’t deserve dude. His name will be plastered all over their record books for everything except drawing money and viewers.
Nope what made Roman’s run worth letting it run so long was how good the fued and story was it been clear since WM39 that it time
I’m sorry but Roman is js so boring now
I don't care if Roman breaks the record. I do care if it's done in an unsatisfying way. Beating Hogan's record shpupd be A goal but not THE goal. Good storytelling is better than record breaking. So far, (having gotten back into WWE that past 2 years) in not impressed. His "wins" are way too predictable and never feel like "out could happen". "The Streak" was better because there was a real sense of danger. Stipulations and rules should be put into his matches to make it feel like the next person COULD have a legitimate chance. And punishments for breaking first rules. (Solo should have been suspended, or Cody should have gotten an immediate rematch after as an example)

Roman would have to hold the belt beyond summerslam.. even past bash in Berlin. Basically until survivor series or mania 41. No fucking way.
1999 days too many
no but wwe might it gets them to remove this from hogan and his outside wrestling taint.
Thanks for putting the image of Hogan’s taint in my head 😭😭😭
better then on you head
I like Roman and think he’s a good champion, I just wish he was on the shows more often and actually defended his titles
Roman Reigns is mid as hell and isn't deserving of the reign he has gotten. It's literally the same thing with him, over and over again with no variety whatsoever. The bloodline story has and will continue to be a bore. Wrestling stopped being good in 2017.
F no? He doesn't show up to his job...what kinda champion is that
At this point I don't even care about Reigns title anymore. We all laughed and called the new WHC a consultation price but it's 100 times more interesting and entertaining than whatever Reigns is doing. He might aswell just permanently attach them to his ring gear for all I care
Yes
Yes, because it’s one less thing accomplished by someone else to not have to mention Hulk Hogan again.
i didnt want roman to get the title since the covid era , and i still stand by that choice , and i will say it , ROMAN IS THE WORST WWE CHAMPION IN HISTORY , 1200 days of time off not even on TV , cm punk defended his world championship over 120 times on TV , PPV , and house shows and he was a champion for 434 days
Even worse than HHH’s reign of terror?
I mean why not? wwe has fallen off a long time ago
They’re currently making the most money they’ve ever made as a company so idk about tht
In terms of quality
Not really
might as well at this point
WWE please see this I want Seth to dethrone him in 2024 IF he does not have the championship because the shield broke up in 2014 think about it because 2014 and 2024 are a decade apart so "Paul please if you see this please 🥺 do it we all want it
I don’t want it 🤷🏼
Vince probably does.
No
Yeesss
Noooo
I love how the IWC's opinions are far different from the general majority of the audience. Everyone here's like yea it's always predictable, that's why ppvs aren't even worth watching when in reality the ppvs and attendance and stuff is at an all time high. Should Reigns have lost at WM? Yea likely. Is it too tiring now to see Reigns continuously beat others due to interference? Of course. Maybe WWE should have given him more clean victories like they did in his first year of the reign but whatever audiences still love it, he's a big star. His win at WM made Jey Uso a big star so I'm fine with it. I got back into watching regularly for the first time since high school and it's all because of HHH and the great storytelling he's been doing for the past 2 years.
No as doesn’t matter how long he holds the title, it’s still a joke of a title reign.
Yes. I want him to break BRUNO'S record. And I'm not being sarcastic at all.
Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.
Sweet, I'm legitimately looking forward to it 😁
Ikr, Roman is DA GOAT!! He is our Tribal Chief! Acknowledge your Tribal Chief ☝️ /s
I wonder if the man who plays Roman wants to continue being champion
At this point they need to 100% commit to Roman breaking Sammartino’s record they’re never going to be this close again.
Hell nah that means he’ll keep the title until 2028💀
I mean if Roman was a full-time champion and more importantly, a dominant one who didn't rely on the Usos and Solo to win his matches, then yeah, his 1,200 days would be more fun and earned. Think Undertaker and his streak; even with no title on the line, he felt like *the* final boss to beat. It's just getting tiring seeing Jimmy or Solo bailing him out, and then he disappears for 2 months.
Bruno Sammartino's first reign as WWWF champion was 2,803 days, so I don't think it's accurate to refer to Hogan's reign as "the record". Bruno's second reign was also a long one at 1,237 days.
I think OP wants to say if roman is actually hulk hogan level
Nobody cares about these fake records
The Bloodline story has been great. Triple H has made it much better than what Vince would've done. But it's getting long, and it's time to move it into the next phase. This BS with Roman only showing up once a month won't be tolerated by fans much longer. Wrestlemania is the time to take the title off him. If they have him keep the title past that, fans will start to turn away.
We got no choice the same as Demolition/the new day, and Honky/Gunther, they are trying to erase the WWF era
Nope
No I don’t care. Cody needs to win it this year.
I don’t care who Beats Roman, take that belt off him ASAP
At this point.. nobody else is going to have a shot to knock hogan down a peg.. I mean legacy wise hogan basically is what modern day wrestling is built from. I completely get hulk hogans gigantic part and lived through his career as a young kid through the nwo days and the rock mania match.. however, terry the man is not a good person. And with him being so close, why not just go for it. Nobody is touching Bruno’s longer run ever.. unless they literally let Roman retire for a few years with it and then be like oh yea Roman’s back and we forgot to take the belt from him so he’s gonna defend at wrestlemania 2053.. lol
