I don't even know if there is any real comparable reign in the history of the title. Even Hogan in 2002 and Trips in 2016 and Goldberg's last two reigns. I guess those guys all at least sort of still felt "of the times"

Hilarious really

No one gave a fuck about Bob Backlund towards the end of his last title run in the 80s and they said fuck it slap it on him in the 90s

 

[Chris]

And there wasn't this clamor for nostalgia then (at least it doesn't seem) like nowadays so it's even weirder

 

[Chris]

Well WCW was running their first Slamboree around the same time too so I actually might be wrong there

 

[Hoss]

Dude just looked crazy out of place

 

[Kim Jong Umb]

wasnt bob doing the heel stuff at time of his WWF run

 

[Chris]

I can't remember his timeline exactly but he became a crazy man heel basically

 

[Chris]

CTE gimmick essentially before they knew about CTE

 

[Chris]

Then they did the presidential run

I like to think it's not too late for a Bob Holly WWE Championship reign

 

[Chris]

Godspeed on that one

That Holly/Lesnar feud still has some juice in it
