There is One Big Problem If Reigns takes over Hogan in the WWF/WWE Record Books as Reigning Main Champion by AverageMansReviews
Warning Disclaimer: I am not defending Hulk Hogan, I am just simply talking
about wrestling; wrestling and nothing more then I will be brutally honest.
What if Reigns overtook Hogan?: because when this content was first created he is
probably standing at 1,234 days as champion and considering once again as things
stand he won't be showing up that often; WWE Royal Rumble and I am guessing but
a good guess sometime around WrestleMania 40/2024, which I am hoping he will
lose this whole entire thing has well and truly dried out like the Sahara
Desert and you know what is really annoying me? He has only defended his
championship roughly over 50 times [I have phrased it this way it can go up and
I would still be correct.]
Meanwhile
Hulk Hogan as the WWF Champion 1,474 days with 171 defences, so why should
Reigns overtake Hogan? I know there is the day is the length obviously, but
when Hogan has a much superior defence record, no I am not a Hogan guy
especially when I deem him to be a fraud, but I am a statistics guy I mean I
know it is a different world compared to Hogan's run here, so for an example
and a reasonable example if Reigns had 100 defences, I would be more amicable
and let's not forget I have forgotten the last time Reigns actually defended
and won clean. If the WWE are once again trying to rewrite their history, may I
remind them just off the top of my head; there are a number of individuals you
may want to cleanse out in the history first; Mr. McMahon and Donald Trump just
for starters.
But
we all knew that this was going to be a problem eventually, because I have said
repeatedly I get it, it was never in Reigns' gimmick to build up anyone around
him, but the consequences of where we are now, in my honest opinion there can
be only one that can beat Reigns now and that would be Dwayne "The
Rock" Johnson and it will be at WrestleMania 40/2024 and for those fans of
Cody Rhodes that boat as well and truly sunk.
Back
to my original point; Reigns may eventually take over Hogan, but as I have
already illustrated there will be a massive question-mark against his record as
in; in fairness and balance should be,
because you can't just have double digits whilst the person you are taking over
has triple digits of defences, in fact it makes Reigns incredibly weak as a
champion, but if the truth was known I am past caring about this situation, no
I'm not even angry if you have been around wrestling long enough, you should
know of this stage where you get to the point and you have completely checked
out, that is where I am with this situation, I just can't wait until it is over
in any capacity now. I mean they could have even built a storyline where on his
99th defence to make it sentry of 100 defences he comes up short, I mean that
would even be a better storyline wrinkle and something I would be willing to
acknowledge, but at this going rate we would have to wait another may be 1000
days and that isn't worth it and finally it doesn't matter if it is Hogan or
anyone else for that matter Reigns has a very weak/poor defence record anyway, I mean if you just take over Hogan; does Reigns actually deserved that privilege/accolade and I would have to say no.
I mean before I receive backlash for this; in comparison Walter as the WWE Intercontinental Champion has only defended this championship 15 times when this content was first created and he is now the proud owner of the longest record standing at well over 580 days, but in that time he is really put The prestige back into this championship as when he defends it, he defends it with his life and honour, ironically they have done everything with Walter and this championship that they should have been doing with Reigns and his championship run, So if anything this just proves, it depends how you want your champion and championship to be presented really? I mean that is food for thought really.
