longest reigning tag champ

[The Big Show]

i was wondering which guy in wwe has actually amounted the most time as a wwe tag champ, when the lenghts of each title reign is added together

i think demoliton hold the record for the longest reign as champs (at around 1 year and 3 months) but im sure if edges or billy gunns or maybe even the british bulldogs reigns were added together they may have held onto the title for over two years (just not all in 1 go)

i was just wondering if any1 knew ?

Didn't the Spirit Squad break the Hart Foundation's record for longest reign a while back?

[T Vang is a HO-DADDY~!]

But he's saying as an individual, who has the most time as champ, counting all of their reigns regardless of partner together.

oh I see

[Tyfo]

Billy Gunn had to have added up some decent time.

[hypnoticgenes]

What about Edge?

[Count Creepyhead]

Looks like Demolition.

He's had the most individual runs, but much of them weren't very long, his run with Orton is probably one of the longer ones

[robferatu]

I think it would be Billy Gunn.
He's had quiet a few lengthy reigns with Bart Gunn, Jesse James and Chuck Palumbo.

I think alot of Edge's reigns have been pretty short ones.

Well, I added up all the days that Edge has held one half of the Tag Team Championship and it comes to 327 days, tho it's 13 more if you count the Smackdown Tag Team Championship.

demoliton won the titles and then lost them on:

27 march 88 to 18 july 89
2 october 89 to 13 december 89
1 april 90 to 27 august 90

how much does that add up to ?

Demolition, if you remember, defended their titles during their last run with Crush it's hard to consider who would qualify. Most likely Barry Darsow as Ax was injured during their last run.

Now, I didn't look at them all but 2 I looked at was Tony Garea who held the titles with Dean Ho, Haystacks Calhoun, Larry Zbyszko, and Rick Martel(x2) and held the tag betls for a combined 21 months, give or take a day or 2(1 year, 9 mos) and Mr. Fuji held the belts with Toru Tanaka(x2) and Mr. Saito for a combined 27 months(2 years, 3 mos). Demolition held the titles for 22 combined months but their first run was 16 impressive months.

The Dudleyz, I would think, have to be up there too

I loved Edge & Christian and highly mark for MNM, but I'll have to agree with you on this one. Truly kickass tag team.

[Rockhound]

I don't think the Dudlyz runs amount to much. They have a lot of runs where they held the belts for under a month or a little more than a month.

[Loki]

I'm maybe stating the obvious, but we can't really compare the length of reigns from different eras...

Pre-Monday Night Wars reigns were substantially longer, and it wasn't unusual having guys holding the belts for at least six months.

When RAW began, the Tag Titles were tossed around a bit more, and things have gotten worse as time has gone by...

Nowadays a six months reign happens only because Creatives forgot whom they put the belts on, and the two guys are probably involved in other feuds-storylines (see, Spirit Squad, the)

So, out of Edge's 5632 Tag Team title reigns, how many are really meaningful? What about Billy Gunn?

Bottom line: Demolition+Hart Foundation >>>>>> every other tag team

The Samoans must've put some decent time in as champs, too.

Not really. Their runs were no more than 4 months tops. One was April to August of 1980 and their 2nd run was a bit shorter, I believe.
