Any neat facts/stats about Triple H winning the WWE World Heavyweight championship? I feel like there could be quite a few cool ones out there. -Triple H is currently 9th on the list of longest tenured WWE World Heavyweight champions (540 days). If he lasts until WrestleMania he'll leapfrog Brock Lesnar (579) and Randy Orton (609) to take 7th place, beating Orton by one day. -Triple H has won 4 of his 14 WWE/World titles in Florida. -The current World Heavyweight champion hasn't won a match on Raw or SmackDown in nearly 6 years.

I'll add one.
Apart from the title that was unveiled by The Rock, Triple H has held every version of WWE’s main event titles of the past 17 years.

World Heavyweight Championship (the Nov '01-Mar '02 version) (he won both belts at WMX8) 3. Undisputed WWF/E Championship (2002) (he was the first one-belt undisputed champion) 4. World Heavyweight Championship (post-Sep '02) (awarded when Lesnar went exclusive to Smackdown) 5. WWE Championship (post-Sep '02) (the unfortunate spinner belt) 6. WWE World Heavyweight Championship (the current belt) He's held all of the titles, just not every belt design. I'd also argue that #2 & #4 are the same title.

Triple H now has the record for longest time between Rumble victories, 2002 - 2016. Interestingly, each person to win two non-consecutive rumbles has beaten he previous record. Stone Cold Steve Austin 1998-2001 3 Years John Cena 2008-2013 5 years Batista 2005-2014 9 years Triple H 2002-2016 14 years

Well Razor was always in a title match at the Rumble. 93 - WWF Title; Bret Hart 94 - IC Title; IRS 95 - IC Title; Jeff Jarrett 96 - IC Title; Goldust Again, NO. The fake Razor was '97. He was in the Rumble but didn't have a title match. Let's put this to an end, please. We all know we're talking about Hall in this regard.

I wasn't trying to be an ass, I was just being pedantic (which I believe this thread needs). The Scott Hall/Razor Ramon issue's been clearly addressed above so there should have been no confusion. When you're talking Razor Ramon stats you simply can't ignore those of a guy who played the character for 5 months. I wish we could overlook him but, since we're talking facts, 10% of Razor Ramon's WWE tenure was Bognar not Hall.

I wish we could overlook him but, since we're talking facts, 10% of Razor Ramon's WWE tenure was Bognar not Hall. I'm 90% certain (at least) that not one single person thinks of Rick Bogner when you say "Razor Ramon." With his win on Sunday, Triple H won the title 2535 days after he won it last. That's 6 years, 11 months, 10 days but it's not the longest gap between title wins. Hulk Hogan won the WWF Title and Wrestlemania IX and then didn't win it again (due to leaving the company) for 3305 days, or 9 years, 18 months and 770 days longer than the Game's drought. Even the Hulkster pales in comparison to Mr. Bob Backlund however, Backlund went 6113 days between the night he first won the WWWF Title in 1978 and the night he became WWF Champion in 1994. That's a 16 year, 8 month, and 27 day gap between wins. Or to put a WWE spin on it, "Triple H has the record for the longest gap between WWE Title wins during one uninterrupted run with the company."

neither Scott Hall, Kamala, or Abdullah The Butcher were ever in the Rumble. Ironically, Fake Razor Ramon was though

the 2016 Royal Rumble was the first time since 2013, that Number 15 wasn't there when Number 30 showed up.

But much like D-Von/Scott Hall, Jacques has been on the Rumble under-card numerous times in a row. 1989: The Rougeaus/Dino Bravo Vs Jim Duggan/Hart Foundation 1990: The Rougeaus Vs The Bushwhackers. 1991: The Mountie Vs Koko B Ware 1992: The Mountie Vs Roddy Piper

Youtube celebrity OutlawDipper trained at Harley Race's school. He's not the only YouTube celebrity to dabble in professional wrestling. KSIOlajidebt (current Top 50 most subbed YouTuber) has trained under PROGRESS wrestling mainstay Pastor William Eaver.

WWE World Heavyweight Championship (the current belt) He's held all of the titles, just not every belt design. I'd also argue that #2 & #4 are the same title. I think there were two different versions of the 2002 WHC title as well. First time it was brought out it was the old WCW belt (though not the same title) that had been merged into the Undisputed Title, until a few months later when they tweaked the design. Phone posting so can't find pictures to confirm.

The belt design was changed sometime in late 2002-early 2003 to add the WWE logo.

even if WrestleMania 32 draws 100,000 fans it won't be the largest crowd to attend a Pro Wrestling event.
That happened in North Korea (of all places!) in 1995. Ric Flair wrestled Antonio Inoki in front of 160,000 fans.
