To finally break Honky Tonk Man's record of longest single IC title reign? I'm honestly surprised this record has not been broken yet as it has held for close to 35 years.Given how long he held the UK title I see him as the best shot at surpassing 454 days. If not Gunther who would you like to see pull this off?

I love Gunther but I'm also so completely burned out on these super long title reigns, so it's a tough one.

I hope Honky keeps it, it’s great because he was such a chickenshit. It’s just not the same if it’s a big dominating guy.

I wouldn't have a problem with it, but there is a similar run going on for the WWE title currently, so it just feels like bad timing for this to be a thing as well.

Only if he tracks it with his own Honk-a-meter.

I think it'd be tougher to get over while Reigns' never ending, uh, reign continues.

Nah. But they should have let Miz have it a few years back.

No stop doing these long runs it's too much. When every single run is this long, it's not interesting to have someone go deep with it. There needs to be different kinds of run, different pacings.

Yeah especially when we have the never ending WWE-Universal Title Reign... having two go for so long is just another basically we don't have to really book anything... also the issue is a lot of these "long title runs" are long just to be long... like there's literally no reason for Roman's to still be going on. It stopped being interesting almost 2 years ago... |

There can be only one One. And that's "The One" Billy Gunn!

I honestly hope Honky Tonk Man always keeps it. I kind of find it cool that he has that legacy.
It actually does surprise me it hasn't been broken yet especially in recent years with really long title reigns becoming much more common. However for whatever reason it hasn't really applied to the midcard titles. Just World, Womens, and Tag Teams.

Enough of the super long title reigns. Especially heel ones.
It’s exhausting at this point. We have THREE going on right now.

If anyone breaks it, it should be a firey babyface.
However, I think I'd prefer if someone was more like Mr. Perfect in getting two lengthy runs with the title and instead break Pedro Morales' combined record.

Honky Tonk Man was a piece of shit. Gunther (to my knowledge) isn't.
So I'd be cool with him breaking it.

If he did, yeah, that could be fun, but I don't really see it happening when there are too many overly long reigns going on right now.
If the Usos and/or Roman lost their titles, then yeah, it'd probably be fine, though part of me questions if it might not ultimately harm him if it makes people get burned out on him.

He'll probably have lost it to Jimmy Uso by Christmas when Jacob Fatu interferes.
