He probably has lengthy world heavyweight championship regins
Very memorable for me. The year Cena didn't get the title.
How is that not memorable?

Hell I think that says more about Cena being able to stay relevant without it. But part of that is due to the WWE cheapening the titles so damn much.

I like how Sin Cara has his mood lighting around him.
Yeah.
I mean, the title, for all intents and purposes should be the main event. Look how often it actually has been? :\
NoC is practically the first time it's been the main event, and that was because Cena was involved.
Though, I think given that Cena probably will be out for Hell In A Cell, we should get CM Punk vs. ????(Zigger? Rhodes? Please?!?!) as the main event.
Who are you kidding? We're getting CM Punk vs. Big Show, deal with it!

Time flies when you're enjoying yourself.
JBL's is one of the most fun title reigns in history.

What I mean is it's not much of a reign as a champion should have. He's constantly overshadowed, and the lack of main event PPV matches shows the end result. It just hasn't felt like "This is the champion and face of the WWE" because he's still in Cena's shadow. This isn't a new criticism, though. He hasn't had many major events happen with him as the catalyst.
He simply "has the championship" and that's about all it's been, ever since he beat Del Rio.
The weirdest thing about JBL was that for years I didn't think much of him and his title reign and commentary made me realize how awesome he was. But when I went back and actually watched him, he was awesome straight from the beginning. As Justin Hawk Bradshaw, as Blackjack Bradshaw, as Acolyte Bradshaw, as APA Bradshaw, and as JBL. His promos and in ring work were the shit right from the beginning and I don't know how I never saw it.
I think it was that the cowboy gimmick typically didn't really work well in WWE so I never took him seriously. Outside of the Original Blackjacks, I can't think of a successful cowboy gimmick throughout WWE history. Sam Houston if you're very, very generous. That's probably why I never realized he was awesome until the APA run or so.

Oh okay, I'll agree with you there. Punker had December-Royal Rumble of last year when he was looking like the actual catalyst of change, but then they threw Cena back into the headline position for no god damn reason, but otherwise yeah you'd be right.
I was mostly laughing because there aren't really all too many "memorable" title reigns. JBL had a decent one, until you remember that the title matches during that era were snooze inducing and Cena's reigns will only be remembered as the most despised face champion of all time.
I think right now Punk's only claim to fame has been that he has delivered solid title matches throughout his reign.

Three times tag champs in the span of three years (which is all they had together) is pretty good. They were also over with the crowd

I think that counts for the time. Me, I liked the West Texas Rednecks more.
The Elite

Is there one of these for the World Heavyweight Championship?
He came back into the main event because of his feud with Rock, then Brock.

I'll give him Brock and the Rock, those were big draws that deserved the main event.
Kane, Show, Aces all did not.

As much as I want to be dickriding Batista, I wish it had all the real history of the belt in there.
I like how they arbitrarily chose a timeframe that started right after Hulk Hogans 1400+ day reign so Cena could be at the top. Actually 25 years from today would still have enough days left in it for Hogan to be on the list a third time and bump Kurt Angle off of it.
That title isn't 25 years old.

Sheamus is third already. I wonder if he makes it to the top.

He would need to make it to mid-January. I would guess that Ziggler would cash in before then, but there don't seem to be too many challengers making their way up to Sheamus. Maybe Sandow?

Mmm, but that was during the weakest point in wwf history (although todays product is starting to come close). I personally found them pretty boring. They were no blackjacks, that's for sure.
He should totally do guest commentary next week and bring it up

Aha, awesome - finally found out the meaning behind the jump Japanese wrestlers & refs do after a botch or comedy spot, like this one;
It originated in Michinoku Pro and is called the 'kinchan jump' (欽ちゃんジャンプ
, named after variety show comedian Kinichi Hagimoto - when someone botches, the wrestler in question mimics Hagimoto with a spin followed by the jump, while the other wrestlers (and even the referee) have to jump in time with the botcher to avoid ridicule. Lol.
Random, I know, but this is something that's confused me about Japanese wrestling for over a decade!
Nice, I haven't watched it yet, but the final is meant to be absolutely sick.
