The Miz’s WWE Title Reign vs. The Rock, WWE on Silent Library, Hart, More

Posted by Marc Middleton on Saturday, March 26th, 2011

- Former WWE star Sylvain Grenier turns 34 years old today while former Spirit Squad member Mike Mondo turns 28.

- Bret Hart has put his drawings of Ric Flair and Hulk Hogan up for auction on Ebay at myworld.ebay.com/hitmanproductionsinc. 100% of proceeds from the sales will go to the relief in Japan from the tsunami and earthquake.

- The episode of MTV’s Silent Library with WWE Superstars Chris Masters, Curt Hawkins, JTG and Dolph Ziggler will air this coming Monday night at 7pm EST.

- WWE Magazine’s Twitter account pointed out yesterday that The Miz’s current WWE Title reign is longer than any reign The Rock ever had. The Rock’s longest reign came in 2000 when he held the WWE Title for 119 days. As of today, The Miz has held the title for 112 days but with his next title defense not until WrestleMania 27 in 8 days, he will at least pass The Rock.

    I forgot how short the Rock title reigns were. He was similiar to Edge with losing a month later.

    Also, if you look at many of Rocks title reigns you have cases of either him being in a big title feud that lasted a couple of months with both wrestlers “exchanging” the title a few times after very short reigns (See Rock vs Mankind feud), or the default story was “face chases heel champion, occasionally wins belt but loses it back so we can get back to the face chasing” (i.e. the Attitude Era every plot for main event feuds)

    Yea, I forgot how fast the Rock and Mankind were dropping the belt to each other. You’re right. Everytime The Rock lost the belt, I was to guys like HHH, Austin, and Mankind.

    Well, it’s probably gonna end at 120, because I’m sure Vince will stupidly have him drop the title to Cena at Mania.

    Reason being all you knuckleheads….WWE had so much talent at the time that could have had the belt. Angle, Austin, Foley, Rock, HHH, Undertaker, Show, etc…. Now you have 2/3 guys that could wear the belt. That is the difference. That is why WWE has to try and push Cena down your throats. If Cena went heel it would be a huge for ratings and $$$$$$$$$$$$.

    Reason being all you knuckleheads….WWE had so much talent at the time that they could have put the belt on 5/6 guys at any given time. Angle, Austin, Foley, Rock, HHH, Undertaker, Show, etc…. Now you have 2/3 guys that could wear the belt. That is the difference. That is why WWE has to try and push Cena down your throats. If Cena went heel it would be a huge for ratings and $$$$$$$$$$$$.

    I wish they would mention this on Raw, it can only serve to help Miz’s character.

    Again Knuckleheads you know nothing… Bret Hart had a reign of about 210 days in 94… Nash had almost a 1 year title reign. JBL was SmackDown’s longest Champion. HBK had the title for about 200 days in 96… So your right not long reigns… IDIOT!

    how is it longer than any reign the rock had if it’s not passed the 8 days required to be longer than what the rock had? confusing writing is confusing.
