7. Total Days as League Champion
Via nydailynews.com
Bruno Sammartino’s run of 4,040 days wearing the league championship belt stems back to the days of the WWF, before the league officially changed its name. His days encompass a total of two title runs each lasting multiple years. His longest title reign began in 1963, lasting seven years.
Sammartino’s record is even more impressive considering the sheer amount of champions WWE fans are subjected to on a yearly basis. Championship belts seem to swap between owners like hot potatoes. The WWE is obviously much larger than the WWF was, and much faster paced as a result. It’s simply hard to fathom a single wrestler could accumulate total numbers even in the same ballpark as Sammartino. As a result, we feel comfortable setting this lasting record in stone as unbreakable.
