YOU WILL RESPECT MY AUTHORITAH!!!!
Today marks the 265th day of Dean Ambrose as WWE United States Champion. He's currently tied with Ric Flair for having the 5th longest reign in the history of the title. Flair's 2nd run began on April 9, 1978 and lasted until December 30, 1978, losing it to Ricky Steamboat. As of tomorrow, Ambrose will take the 5th spot for himself and move the Nature Boy down to 6th.
However, it's unfortunate that Ambrose's run as champion has been marred with infrequent defenses of the title. JBL & Michael Cole touched on that during commentary this past Monday on Raw, as they were discussing that Ambrose is the longest reigning champion in WWE at the moment. Ambrose's last defense of the title took place on October 27, 2013 at the Hell in a Cell ppv, retaining the title via countout against Big E Langston. So, it's been about 10 weeks since Ambrose last defended the title and, unfortunately, it's going to lower the credibility of his reign. It's not his fault, of course, but that doesn't necessarily change anything.
