I’m curious to hear y’all opinions on this. Could a long reign still work now? As much as I liked AJ as wwe champion, I felt that his reign was too long. Him and Joes feud was fun but I hated that joe didn’t win the title. Same with nakamura.
It depends on the popularity/interested in said heel/face.
Let's face the days of Sammartino, Backlund, & Hogan having multi-year title reigns in wrestling are long gone. Vince did the right thing in early '88 when put an end to that concept.
In today's era of wrestling I say 6months-1yr b/c it's too much talent to let one person dominate the main event scene in any promotion. Plus fans are going to get bored at some point.
Exactly. Peoples attention spans can’t take having a champ for more than 6 months. I almost died when Cena held the wwe title from September 2006 to October 2007. It was awful
Those Triple H reigns were brutal and he had multiple long ass reigns.
Facing nakamura 5-6 ppv's in a row didn't help stylesI’m curious to hear y’all opinions on this. Could a long reign still work now? As much as I liked AJ as wwe champion, I felt that his reign was too long. Him and Joes feud was fun but I hated that joe didn’t win the title. Same with nakamura.
