Length definitely more so than number of reigns. I hated when titles change hands frequently. Recently, what was the point of Big Show winning the IC title for Cody at WM only to have him win it back the next month and then lose it to Christian. Just not have Big Show win and have Cody lose it to Christian.

Length. Think of Jbls wwe title reign. It was awesome and had everyone wondering when he would lose the belt. One of the worst IMHO..not one clean win over a major contender..made him look like a weak heel champion

One of the worst IMHO..not one clean win over a major contender..made him look like a weak heel champion Thats what made him so great imo. He never won cleanly but some how managed to walk out w/ the title every single night for about 9 months. People tuned in just to see if someone could finally take the title away from him. Flair won 16 world titles over a 30+ year career. Most of his reigns were long and he was constantly putting on 4-5 star matches. Theres a big differance between someone like Cena or Edge winning 10+ world titles in only 5-6 years while Flair won 16 over about 25 years.

I read somewhere (Ill have to find the article) that from 1981-1990, Ric Flair only spent 356 days as NON champion.

Time held is way more important to me. Even though I didn't enjoy Cena's long title reigns, i remember those. I really couldn't tell you what his reign before the last one was like. Because he played hot potato with it between Orton, HHH, and Batista, and himself.

John Cena, Edge, Orton maybe HHH should have half the reigns they have.
Winning a title only to lose it the next month I don't mind so much, but when it keeps jumping wrestler to wrestler and back and forth, there's no need.
The worst reigns are the ones that are over as soon as they start. Cena losing the WWE Championship to Batista in 2010 after a few minutes shouldn't count as a reign. Cena then won it back a month later. I hated that.
Recently Big Show reigns have annoyed me, he shouldnt of had won the WHC if Bryan was just going to beat him moments later. And Show winning the IC title just to lose it a few weeks later was bogus also.
