i’m a big fan of punk, but his reign was mostly a write off. so who really cares?

Punk had no record, Bruno has a record that will only be broken if WWE folds by whomever the champion is at the time. Brock beating 434 days means nothing, especially since he actually wrestled maybe 9 of those days and showed up to look menacing maybe another 13. Punk and Brock are my two least favorite people ever associated with wrestling (in a world where Vince Russo lives), so on a personal level they can both eat a d!ck, and I'm glad that they don't hold a record (but f#ck Lesnar for being the guy to end the streak).

Missed the “Punk is a bitch” option

I think they didn’t make a huge deal of it because it would have drawn attention to the fact that Lesnar is never there.
Also I think it’s kind of funny that when Lesnar was on bad terms with WWE, they put the title on Orton to break Lesnar’s “Youngest World Champion” reign. Now they use Lesnar to basically try to erase CM Punk’s name.

Not surprising but as other mentioned, quality over quantity.

It's fine with me just to see the Punk marks whine.

The Universal title isn't a World championship so Punk's record still stands. It is a world championship, it's just not the same one that Punk held. It's the championship of the Universe not the World. Same as the Intercontinental is the champion of all of the land, but not the oceans as well.

I know I'm gonna get a lot of crap but how come Okada doesn't get crap for holding the IWGP World title for 2 years and only about 15 defenses?🤔 Do you even watch NJPW? He’s on all the shows between the big shows, and the big shows are where the champion defends the belt. It will be the same with Omega. That’s legit an unreasonable comparison.

It doesn't matter what WWE says they are 2 different titles. You can't say that a long reigning IC champion has broken the record of a former US champion.
Punk held the WWE World title where Lesnar currently holds the Universal. Both main event titles but far from the same.

You realize that records in WWE are entirely pointless, because its pre determined right?
It's not like Lesnar or Punk actually beat everyone

It’s a WWE heavyweight title. I don’t think the different titles really apply to this. Many of the guys had the wwe title and the WHC and they group those together now so yeah... it’s a wwe heavyweight championship

Lesnar's title reign doesn't gring anything positive to anyone or anything. It'S just there to be ended. People say that Punk was a transitional champ at the time, but Lesnar is in the same category IMO. The only point of his reign is to make Roman look strong when he finally beats Lesnar. Now that this scenario seems to be changing it's a really weird situation for everybody involved.
