Today Dean Ambrose passes Superfly Snuka's reign of 231 to take the spot as the 10th longest US title reign in history (Both WCW and WWE)
If he holds it for another few days he will climb up to the 7th spot passing Austin at 240. (Next step after that is Ric Flair at 265)
He hasn't defended it since the day after HIAC. Which is a shame. Sadly he is doing all he can to make it relevent but really it's just part of his gear more than anything else nowadays.
I wish he would defend it more.

I like Dean a lot. I'd love to see him actually defend it too... it being just a prop doesn't really help anyone. Sadly, he's probably going to lose it once he gets up up against a decent mid-carder.

It's not as if the title means anything. Holding the US title for 200+ days actually meant something 15-20 years ago.

Seth Rollins seems to care more about the US championship than Dean. Don't you see when they make their entrance, Dean just tosses it over the barricade and leaves it there while Seth is the one picking it up? I feel the wrong shield member is holding that belt.

I love Dean but I don't know if he deserves that really. Not his fault the belt is worthless, just a shame that it used to mean so much, yet now is worthless.

How is being bland and overrated 'doing all he can to make it relevant'?

Yawn.
I liked him at first but in all honesty, he is just goofy. When he was yelling at Punk on monday there was just 0 intimidation........ such a nerd

Dean is a paper champion, might as well carry a cardboard version ala super strikers.
While Dean has been part of a trio during his run, so was Snuka along with his manager / partner Buddy Rogers, and stablemates John Studd & Iron Sheik, all the while routinely defending his title in blood feuds with the likes of Blackjack Mulligan, Rufus Jones, Tim Woods, Jim Brunzell, Ricky Steamboat and the man he would eventually drop the title to Ric Flair.
It's silly to even post about the length of this meaningless reign, but it's teh Ambrose so whoopty..

I don't know how the WWE not doing anything with the title is Dean's fault. Its the writers job to put him in matches and storylines that matter. Dean's job is to deliver in promos and in the ring when given those opportunities. He can't deliver on anything when he is given nothing.

So in that case the fanboys should not make threads boasting about the length of his title reign.

Not Dean's fault that WWE has simply forgot the belt even exists.
He'll in a Cell was the last title defense? Damn, when was that...October?

Out of curiosity does anyone know the number of times that he defended the title?

It was pretty obvious @ Extreme Rules the Shield winning all titles was just to make them look stronger. Shame the US title even took backseat to the tag titles.

Ambrose and AJ should get together and tarnish the tag team titles too.

Wow if only he would've had monthly title defenses he would've possibly made the belt relevant again. It's not his fault though its WWE's fault.
