Yeah, that tends to be the normal length of a US/IC title reign these days, doesn't it? Think it's been like that since 2004 with Shelton.

[HBL]

It was definitely amazing,up there with the reigns of MVP and Miz over the last few years.

[Arrow]

I can't think of a single memorable feud or match he's had before his feud with Ryder began.

["Gentleman" AJ Powell]

I thought you were being sarcastic and talking about his WHC run <___< Yeah, his US reign was awesome.

I can but like none of them were for the belt.

[The Ichi]

Not trying to be condensending, but I honestly can't recall much of it either. Hell, I can't even remember who he took the belt off of.

All I remember is Alex Riley taking a dump in Vickie's mouth, Ziggler started hanging out with Jack Swagger for some strange reason, and Morrison oddly won a match.

I don't even remember the last time he defended the belt before his first defense against Ryder. Was it Kofi?

It was kofi at capitol punishment.

Out of matches I remember him having for the us title I only remember enjoying like...4? I think?

Like I liked the ryder matches and the two matches with kofi.

Besides that I liked his matches with orton and punk. Also the tag matches with swagger vs air boom and the raw 4 way with cody,bryan and ryder. None of those were for the belt though.

Shit I dont even know how many times hes even defended it. I remember morrison and a random 4 way match.

He had a pretty uneventful run.

[Metalheadbanger Man]

Yeah, he's had some great matches in that time, but hardly any were for the US Title.

[Deleted]

He held the title for half a year and had one real feud in that time.

Long title reigns don’t necessarily = good title reigns, to me.

Cody’s IC title run has been similar. He’s had it since the summer and in that time he's had heatless title matches with Zeke, Dibiase and Morrison, had a feud with Orton where the IC title wasn’t mentioned once, now he’s feuding with an announcer.

Pretty much. Ziggler's run this year has been eventful, but the actual title reign was forgetful.

[Can you afford to pay me, Gah]

Yeah pretty much was said. Dolph was awesome all year. But outside of Ryder, most of it had nothing to do with the belt. Which it is a shame. Because if he had more defences, he and Cody could made those belts look important again. Which it's been years since that happened. His run reminds me so much of The Miz as US champion. Long run but hardly defences. Only differences is that Dolph had amazing matches all year.

I really became a fan of this guys work because he is that good IMO. As a in ring guy and a seller.

It could be argued that just having great matches as Champion increases the value of the championship itself regardless if it's on the line. Just by showcasing how great a competitor the champion is, someone better has to come along to beat him.

I really enjoyed his feud with Kofi. I know a lot of people complained about them having so many matches, but I thought every one of them was great. Aside from the Kofi feud though, I have to agree.

[Starshine]

I love Ziggler and think he's had an absolutely terrific year. But with that said his title reign was just kind of a waste. It felt like for a very long time that he was just spinning his wheels while holding that belt. He didn't need it, and didn't do much with it.

[Fang]

The reason why the feud with Ryder was so cool is because

A. It was actually built up for awhile

B. The main purpose was the title itself.

Other than the World Titles, the WWE rarely ever builds a compelling feud revolved around a belt itself.
