Cena is gonna tie Flair's championship record isn't he?

[OVO 40 hunched over like he 80]

With all the good things that happened this year, Bryan's chase of the belt and Brock being Brock, I barely paid any attention to Cena's title win at Money in the bank, I don't know why but I forgot about how many times he has been champion, I thought it was gonna be like 8 or 10 at the most...he has been champ 15 times...I don't know what to make of that, he's a win away from tying Ric Flair's record, make fun of Ric all you want and he deserves it, but that number, to me it is up there with Undertaker's streak. There's no way he's beating Brock, please don't have him beat Brock. But let say a year from now he beats Reigns, or someone else, then Cena is gonna share the record with Flair. Cena is 37, he could possibly get 2 or 3 more championships, he's gonna be on the discussions for best wwe champs of all time...

How does that make you feel? Cena being a 16 time world champion, I've been so used to Cena winning all the time that I've become a cinic, but if he breaks Flair's record, I don't know if I'll be mad, I think I'll be shocked more than anything.

[BigJerichool222]

Doesn't really matter anymore, to be honest. Flair really held more than 16 World Titles and WWE is all about touting him as a 2-Time Hall of Famer rather than a 16-Time Champion these days anyway.

What if he does? Seriously, THIS SHIT IS ALL FAKE. THESE GUYS ARE WINNING FAKE BELTS. How could anybody possibly get a tiny bit upset that a guy won more make-believe belts than someone else? Like, I understand being passionate but that's when it's time to check your priorities in life.

[Gerard Gerard]

Had he not retired, I dread to think how inflated Edge's tally would've gotten.

Probably because some people believe that the "best" wrestlers should be handed these kind of records and they don't like Cena.

None of his reigns were particularly long either. Cena at least has ten years of being WWE champion and the marquee star.

Frankly, I've always hated Flair so it wouldn't bother me at all.

[Hit Girl]

I hope he does, because I don't like Flair

you're right, but ever since I was a kid, the announcers always pointed out Flair's record as important.  It's all fake wins, but still people got really upset when Brock ended the streak, even the most cynical of smarks got shocked by it.  

[mizerable]

Flair will always be more impressive. He's the only guy who became "the guy" wherever he went, besides Hogan.

Sure, a lot of Flair's were short...but so were Cena's. I can think of at least 4 reigns that were under a month long. Hell, one was just a couple minutes, which in my opinion shouldn't f***ing count.

It would actually be far more impressive had Cena not won those short reigns, as it would make his average length as champion appear far more impressive, especially since he's sitting at close to 1,400 days.

He'll catch it eventually. One thing that Flair has and I'm sort of surprised they don't bring this up is that I believe he's the only man in history to have ever been NWA, WCW, and WWE World Champion.

[Aboutreika18]

He'll do it, WWE will make a big deal out of it, fans won't care and it'll become one of the questions on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire in 10 years time.

[OVO 40 hunched over like he 80]

I don't think WWE conisders the NWA canon, lol, actually they also never called Buddy Rogers an NWA champion right? just the first wwwf champion

[CubsFan71]

If Cena ties we riot. Seriously though, when he does tie Flair, I'm most likely done with WWE. They've been shoving Cena down our throats for the better part of 10 years now and I feel it's enough already. It's time to start building new Stars instead of relying solely n the same guys(Cena, Orton, Kane)over and over again. This lather rinse repeat formula of Cenas has been stale for at least 5 years now and its time for change

[Kevin Hamilton]

It's a completely fictional record, so go for it.

Kurt Angle did it too. And actually kind of surprised Kevin Nash didn't.

I can't get too broken up over a record in a predetermined sport. Hell, I don't even care that much about records in legitimate sports. It's not Joe DiMaggio or anything.

[metylerca]

Another thread with "isn't he?" In the title. New board meme.

Go Cena.

[Bang Bang Bart]

It'd be funny if the announcers just downplayed it and mentioned it in passing when Cena does get the record.

"John Cena has done it again! He's on top of the world once more! He's WWE World Heavyweight Champion. Oh.... and he's tied some guy's record or something."

While I don't particularly care if Cena ties or even breaks the record, the idea that you shouldn't care because the belts are fake seems like a pretty lame reason. I mean all of wrestling is "fake", so going by your logic, it's a waste of time to care about anything that happens on the show. Telling someone not to care about titles simply because it's fake is no better than those Youtube commenters that are always mocking wrestling fans by telling them that none of it is real.

Seriously? That's what would push you over the edge?
