The WWE-recognised most decorated wrestler in history

[Leon TrotSky]

Like many of my best and worst ideas, this one happened during Raw chat. It's time to work out who has the most official WWE-umbrella titles. I planned to do this for time as champion too, but that would require super-constant editing, and so I couldn't do it.

To count, a title must have been sanctioned and recognised at the time of the reign by one of the following:

• WWE/WWF/WWWF - any brand (RAW, SmackDown, NXT, NXT UK, or even WWECW)
• World Championship Wrestling/Jim Crockett Promotions (not counting NWA-wide titles. For example, the WCW Tag Titles would count during the pre-WCW days, because that is where the lineage comes from. NWA World Heavyweight reigns do not count at any time)
• Extreme Championship Wrestling

I will not count reigns not recognised by WWE (e.g. Ted DiBiase with the WWE Title).

Wish me luck...

Spoiler: The list so far

None yet

I thought you were already done I was going to be very impressed

The top few should not surprise everyone, given how much we've been beaten over the head with Cena and Orton having 30 world titles between them. Now, AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION! Should Part 2 be:
- The World, WWE/RAW, and SmackDown tag team titles, or:
- The Intercontinental, European, and Light Heavyweight titles?

 

[Chris]

Tags sounds like it'll be a bitch to log so I say get it out of the way early

 

[GARBAGE]

My guess was it'd be Randy Orton based on him being a top guy for so long and also based on, unlike somebody like Cena, never going the fuck away. But then I went to Wikipedia and Cena + HHH beat him for titles pretty easily. It gets a little more up in the air between those two if Rumbles, MITBs, etc are counted.

 

[Grimoire Lenin]

It's gonna be Edge topping everyone with his tag titles tbh.

[Chris]

keep going with the midcard belts

 

[Moon Bird]

If you're including ECW before WWE got them then Bubba Ray is gonna be high on the list.... 10 time WWE hardcore champion, 8 time WWE tag team champion, 1 time raw tag team champion, 1 time wcw tag team champion, 8 time ECW tag team champion..

puts him at... 28 so far... and there are probably some I missed! Can't wait to see the final results

(just checked his wiki, it's 28)

Pretty sure Dick Fliehr is going to be top...
