What are some things that didn't last as long as they seemed. Like for example, I always think of Hall and Nash run in the mid 90s being long then it was. They were only around for 3 and 4 years before they left. When it seems to me like it felt longer. Or WCW Monday nitro felt like it was on tv for longer than 6 years

The entire attitude era was only 3 and a half years. From Survivor Series 1997 (arguably) to Wrestlemania X7.

Steve Austin as most people remember him was an active competitor for 5-6 years.

I always get blown away when I realize that the Outlaws were only a full time team in the WWF for about 2 1/2 years.

Steve Austin as most people remember him was an active competitor for 5-6 years. And as a mostly active full time guy it was probably closer to 3 1/2 years

Rick Martel in WCW was so refreshingly different for some reason that I'll always seemingly remember it but it only lasted about six-ish weeks.

It seems longer because it was during an era where cable TV was more of a central entertainment hub. You didn’t have the hi-def streaming or DVR, so one had to either tune in each week to get their fill of wrestling content and storylines or tape it, or you were out of luck until someone posted a low quality clip.

Triple H’s world title run in 2000. I think it’s one of the greatest world title reigns of all time but it only lasted 3-4 months. There was so much stuff packed into it though.
- Won the WWF title from Big Show on the first Raw of the year/millennium - Has a great match with Rikishi days later on Smackdown and overnight Rikishi becomes one of the most popular guys on the roster - Famous segment when Foley is re-instated and HHH is terrified when he reveals Cactus Jack will be facing him at the Royal Rumble - Classic street fight with Cactus at RR - Radicalz debut and HHH faces Benoit who was WCW champion a week earlier - Dallas 10 man tag match - “Retires” Foley in another classic inside hell in a cell at No Way Out - Becomes the first heel to win the main event of Wrestlemania - Random great match with Taka Michinoku - Phantom title change match with Jericho - Had a WWF champ v ECW champ match with Tazz - Austin blows up the DX Express - Loses the title to Rock at Backlash in one of the greatest babyface win/heel comeuppance moments ever

On the same page as the other Attitude Era stuff the original Hollywood Hogan run was just over 3 years.

Evolution. really only were really together as a quadrant for a year. Does that count the injury time for Orton and Batista near the beginning of the run (they were injured in the same match if I remember correctly).

Nah, I think it's more to how the passing of time changes as you age. A year feels a hell of a lot longer when you've only had 10 of them.

The Shield were only together for a year and a half. If Roman's current title reign lasts another month or so it will have been longer than The Shield's entire run.
Eddie Guerrero's whole arc from returning in 2002, being part of the Smackdown 6, rising to the main event, winning and losing the title, feuding with Rey/Batista and his untimely death felt longer than 3 and a half years.
John Cena as heel Dr. of Thuganomics barely lasted a year.
Shawn Michaels heel turn in 2005 only lasted a month.
The Two Man Power Trip lasted about 6 weeks.
