Exactly what the title asks.

When the audience stops believing that the champion could lose.
Or when there is no more story left to tell with this champion.

What he said.
When people stop caring. There is no number.
Also, I think long title reigns are far better than a large number of title reigns. A long title reign builds up some suspense, making the audience wonder who will be the person to finally end his reign. The guy who finally does do it gets put over big. When it's the same guy winning the title 12-15 times in the span of a few years, it just gets really old and the title shifts lose their value.

I think you need your 30 days with the 300 days reigns, a little variety in there, or else everything starts to get mighty stagnant, either by running out of contenders or hitting the same old songs again and again. Besides, a long reign being long requires a point of reference. If no reigns are short, than none can really be considered long, either.

Yep. Some notoriously long reigns (Bruno's first) went that long because it didn't get old with the crowd. Dude was responsible for a crazy insane amount of the highest gate records in the world during that time, and it wasn't slowing down. Hogan's was almost the perfect length, ending shortly after his reign had peaked with WM3, and there was nowhere to go but down if he'd kept going.

I have more of a problem with short title reigns. Even if a guy sucks as champion a good booker should be able to compensate for that and still create a programme that deals with that issue. Week or month-long title reigns suck and nobody wins. If you beat a guy whose been champion for five minutes - who cares?
No world title reign should last any shorter period of time than the months between WM and SS and that's an absolute minimum. WWE have got better at that in recent years to be fair to them

A lot of this is relative. How many times did Hogan defend his title in a five year reign compared to how long Stone Cold did in a six month one?
As someone else has said, it comes down to contenders, audience engagement and business. Like someone else has also said, Bruno had a combined twelve years of reigns because that shit never got old.

When it stops drawing money. Easiest answer to any question in wrestling. If it draws money, it works. If it doesn't, go another way.

When it's the same guy winning the title 12-15 times in the span of a few years, it just gets really old and the title shifts lose their value. i.e, Cena and Orton having a combined 27 world titles reigns in ten years.

There's something weird about Bruno's reign, like 7 years, wasn't he blackballed from wrestling at one point? He said that he returned to Pittsburgh and worked in construction?
