I think they said last night that he already broke the record. I swear I heard michael cole say he's the longest running IC champ of all time.

He hasn't even if Cole said that but they've been saying he's the longest of this century for a bit now

 

[Butters]

I just googled it and he said something like, "the longest reigning IC champ since honky tonk man" which is a weird way to say it

 

[Lethal]

Longest this century and not far off all-time iirc. He has to get the record, Sheamus can wait for his flowers

[Butters]

Yeah, I guess it's just how I'm reading it but that makes me think, "oh cool he beat it!" which is not the case

 

[Sabretooth]

It’s mad weird no one has held the title for a year since 87

 

[Sabretooth]

Also throwback to one of the greatest theme songs ever

The Queen main eventing yet again

 

[Cwalker]

Low key I was most excited for Paul/Rollins but that triple threat is going to be amazing

 

[Hoss]

I feel Sheamus getting the IC Title is actually a bigger deal for his career than it would be for GUNTHER to become the longest reigning champ, assuming there's a lot more accomplishments in GUNTHER's future. I'm fine with either result fwiw.


Also how is it weird to describe his reign as the longest since Honky's, considering Honky's is the longest and the standard that other reigns are compared to?

The Queen main eventing yet again

With the Nightmare of course!

 

[Chris]

Damn the women have to qualify but they just give the guys the match lol

 

[Chris]

Lmao so Filthy Tom Lawlor had an amazing idea for Rey/Dom. Instead of just attacking Konnan he said Dom should STAB HIM WITH A SHANK and gets arrested again but Rey then bails him out just so he can beat his ass the next day at Mania

Another Raw goes by and no Bray Wyatt. What's going to become of his match with Lashley? If Wyatt does not compete at WrestleMania will Lashley be thrown into the Lesnar-Omos match as a triple threat? Or maybe Randy Orton returns and faces Lashley?
