It should be someone great like Bobby Roode and he should defend against faces and heels.

I want this for 2 reasons:
1. Cause I'm pretty sure Honky Tonk Man refused to lose the title for the longest time, so that's why he has such a long reign.
2. I want to hear the HTM shoot interview after somebody breaks his record.

I always thought the perfect way for this to happen would have been for Santino to bring in someone new as his bodyguard like HBK did with Diesel. Whoever it was would win the title and act all stupid and do the Honk A Meter. When he got close to beating Santino's longest reign he gets all serious after Santino tries to cost him the belt. The champ's goal becomes to not just break the record but to also become the greatest IC champ ever. He won't defend the title against anyone that hasn't won it before. Come Wrestlemania time, he could have beaten Triple H to really cement how good he was. The perfect ending after breaking the record would have been losing it to a debuting Joe Hennig defending his father's honor as the greatest IC champ ever.

Only if it's organic. Not just for the sake of it being done.

I want to hear the HTM shoot interview after somebody breaks his record. 1- Holding onto the title for so long time made Warrior's win so much more meaningful. Had HTM dropped the title earlier to someone like Brutus Beefcake (who I liked but was not title material), it would have been a waste. 2- All he'd need to say would be "I held the title when holding a title actually meant something" and that would be a sufficient retort. |

It really all boils down to: People's attention spans in 2016 are just shorter than they were in even the 1980s, and that genie's not going back in the bottle...and because of these short attention spans, titles have to change hands in a shorter time period than in the old days. I think the whole tv audiences having a short attention span thing is overblown. Some of the hottest shows on tv in recent years is stuff like Game of Thrones and Walking Dead and you're not sitting through those shows with a short attention span. I think it has more to do with WWE's current television format. Everything's just so overexposed. I'm not interested in 18 month WWE title reigns but I wouldn't mind one in a company like NJPW because they have a different format. The top two singles titles in NJPW, the Heavyweight and Intercontinental titles, were defended six and seven times respectively in 2016. Everything's a bit more spread out and everyone isn't all over tv every week, kinda like how American wrestling was in the 80s. |
