In one year 1999, the WWE championship changed hands a total of 12 times.
In five years 2003-2008 the WWE championship has changed hands 12 times.
I think thats a crazy stat myself.

I liked it when we saw a title reign which didn't last for 7months and above, well except from Orton' of course

IMO if a wrestler has what it takes they can hold the title for as long as they want. If Cena hadnt gotten so stale and boring i wouldnt mind if he had it for another year. Like Orton now, im not bored with his reign yet, so i wont mind if he keeps it for a while.
Hell, i wouldnt mind if turned face after Orton gets all of his feuds with the faces wrapped up, that way he'd have fresh opponents.

Yeah 98-00 was crazy for title changes, Especially 99 thanks to Russo i'm guessing..

Yeah, Russo likes short title reigns as I remember reading that titles are not important to him.
I like how they do it now with the longer reigns, although I hated Cena's, I am enjoying RKO's.

I enjoy a good lengthy reign, but I don't think it's necessary for every reign to be really long. Having said that, I'm really liking Orton's reign and Cena's before his. I would have had no problem with Cena holding it even longer.

I'm happy that Orton is getting a lengthy reign. I wouldn't mind if he held it until at least Survivor Series or next year's WM.

I like longer title changes. It makes it mean more when the title actually changes hands.

TBH, I hate long title reigns, I would rather have the title change hands 8 times in a year than have it change twice.

Vince Russo is the reason the title changed so much back in the 90's . Vince Russo almost took away what really meant to be a world champion. if you can't stand someone holding a world title more then 6 months then you attention problems. |

you dont have to post 3 times to tell us about your imaginary 6 month rule.
A transitional champion isnt someone who holds the belt for less than 6 months. its someone who plays a role in order to bring the belt from one person to another, without damaging their reps.
eg: kane and undertaker are gonna feud for the belt in a big way. so taker loses the strap to edge, who in turn loses it to kane. meaning kane and taker can have a big match because they havent feuded in a while and because the belt has switched around its still fresh.
a "real champion" as you say, is someone who makes any kind of real difference whilst holding the belt.

Which is why 1999 is about 4814831487384738473843x better than WWE now.
