I don't think anyone needs to, ffs we gotta leave something to the past as a legacy.
the Streak should remain intact, Flairs "total title reigns" intact, Hulkamania a thing of beauty, Andre's imaginary 15yr undefeated streak
Actually if you ask Flair and some other sources, he's a 26 time world champ.
Unofficially aka was during the regions aswell as when titles were actually recognized globally
16x NWA World Title (2 of these were when NWA was transitioning to WCW)
8xWCW World Titles (2 of these were when NWA was transitioning to WCW)
2xWWF World Titles
Most aren't recognized because they were at house shows and only the crowd new about em or something to that effect and or they wre part of transitioning from one belt to another in the ongoing dispute between WCW and NWA where he held both and one was stripped.
Flair himself has stated his tally is
NWA-10
WCW-7
WWF-2
WCW International-2
so all the other people have a lot more to beat to "Be The Man"
Saying that though let's take title wins out of the equation as the old saying goes "So you're a 21 time world champ, wow that means you lost 22 times"
no one is gonna beat 21 reigns any time soon i hope.
Lets go on length of reigns
Currently Hulk Hogan and Bruno Sammartino are the 2 that are head and shoulders above anyone in terms of lengths of a single title run.
Bruno Sammartino 4040 days (11years combined) 7 years straight as WWWF champ
Hulk Hogans total WWE/WCW runs comprise 3362 days (9.2 years combined) just over 4 years straight as WWF champ
no one comes close to those 2 that's a record that won't be broken any time soon in the American based wrestling
not counting Moolah obviously as she's not in the mens division
John Cena sits at around 1030 days
Ric Flair sits at 3613 but alot of those were short runs runs the longest continuous run was about 15months.
All for Triple H having beaten the official record of 16 but he doesn't need it now, he's done so much more in other respects and is still considered among the best of the best anyway. and being a close friend of Flair i wonder if he ever really wanted to surpass it
Edge was a 12 time champ too he was next on the possibility but well he's done now so there goes that
he also was at one point on a WrestleMania streak too
Cena possibly could unless his underlying injuries finally catch up with him and he has to retire. One thing Cena gets is he has the most WWF/E world title reigns at the moment. not counting the WCW world title. but just the WWF/E title 1 ahead of Triple H and 2 ahead of The Rock
