Unfortunately his other controversial escapades like supporting a guy who s*xually assaulted his friend and then firing said friend or his inability to pay back people he scammed or that the company he worked with him for his cryptogame is currently under investigation for fraud (a company Logan Paul has said he helped build mind you) can’t be talked about much
You could also mention his horrible past of how he’s treated his animals. Basically feeding his dog to coyotes, getting a guard dog and then not training it, leading it to the death of his bird, his disgusting reaction to the death of said bird, getting rid of the dog, the two pot belly pigs that he mistreated, etc. He may, admittedly, be really quickly getting the hang of wrestling, but he is by no means a good person.
@@GabbyPlaysGames02Logan Paul is pretty muchbwhat Shawn Michaels is made out to be. A piece of human waste who's only positive attribute is "wrestles good"
It’s still baffling that Logan Paul is the third longest reigning US Champion in WWE history. Even though he only defended 3 times, his performances were amazing. But it’s now in the hands of the MEGASTAR LA Knight YEAH!!
Being talented in the ring is always a moot point. Logan wasn't given the title because he was good. It was because of money. It was only a benefit for us that he was good in the ring when he did appear, but that was NOT the reason he was able to hold the title and for so long.
18 months later, Wrestlemania last year was the right time to pull the trigger on Rhodes winning the championship. Only because Roman had 5 more televised defenses after Mania 39. But, all the storytelling and patience for Rhodes to FINALLY win the Championship and finish the story this year. Made it all worthwhile in the end
Roman held the title for 4yrs (give or take) and made over 50 title defences in that time, which equates to just a smidge over one-per-month on average.
Roman was featured on regular basis and even defended the title on SmackDown. It's only after the match with Brock he started appearing less frequently Guess Brock passed the part time schedule torch to Romn at WrestleMania 38.
If we go back into the 80s and earlier the world title defences were treated more like boxing world title defences. Large hype and build and a lengthy lead up. In my opinion that made the world titles feel so much more important than they do today.
This is certainly not a new opinion, but the length of a title reign shouldn't be the be all and end all statistic. While Roman's WWE title reign had sparse defenses, at least each match should have a big match feel to them, especially Clash 2022, Rumble 2024, and Mania XL. The other PPVs can showcase the midcard/tag team belts more often... ideally.
i actually think champions shouldn't defend the titles on a regular basis like most people prefer. it makes the times they do defend the belt feel extra important. for example, when lesnar or roman would defend at the big shows, it truly gave the match that "big fight feel." then again, walter defending the i.c. title as often as he did also made that title feel special and it usually seems like a big deal every time cody defends the wwe title, which is essentially every month so i guess it depends case by case.
One no one tend to think about: The Edge Heads, Zack Ryder and Curt Hawkins, never once defended their WWE Tag Team Titles on television before losing them to Carlito and Primo
People forget that Roman Reigns defended his title every month from September 2020 - September 2022. Then he had another stretch from November 2022 - May 2023. So I say he was consistent most of his title reign and only defended at Major PLEs. And it worked out
I really hope now that Roman and Logan have dropped their respective titles we are done with this ‘giving extended title reigns to part timers’ bs. Its completely unfair to the rest of the roster who work year round. I can let a RR-WM reign i.e. the Rock slide. Hell I’ll even let a reign from Survivor Series to WM slide, but if youre going to have a guy hold a title for over a year I dont think its asking much to defend it at least once a month.
Reigns is a perfect example of how to not over- or under-expose your top guy. Whenever he appeared it meant something. Fans were interested and it generated views and ticket sales.
Honorable mention to Chris Jericho as IWGP Intercontinental champion. Seven months with NJPW's second biggest belt. Only two title defenses, the second being when he lost it.
Well he is kinda excuses as july-august was G1 season where titles aren't generally defended. And November-december being the world tag league season. He defended once in October because it's one of NJPW's big shows in the sumo hall and second in Tokyo dome
I know over in Japan champions don't defend nearly as often, but I still have to mention Vader's second run as IWGP champion. Wins the belt August 10th 1989, defends it September 20th and 21st, does not defend it again until February 10th the following year, waits until June 12th for his next, then drops the title August 19th. Possibly making things worse, the defence on Feb 10th was a double countout (also the match where he got his eye dislodged) and the defence on June 12th was a disqualification loss.
Thing is with Roman is that if you just take TV defences it averages one defence every month + change (39 days) include house shows he defended it on average every 23 days, so when you look at it like that he defended it quiet often.. yes it’s not on CM Punks level during the ‘summer of punk’ where he defended it something like over 150 times in 400+ days
@Cannibalize946 It was a televised defence EVERY 39 days on average. With house shows, it was less than one month per defence on average. That is not horrible in the slightest.
Meiko Satomura hardly defended her NxT UK women's title for the same reasons as Walter didn't defend his NxT UK men's title, so why is one included on this list, but not the other??
I think that another TNA "From Worst To Best" rankin video is long overdue. I suggest ranking from worst to best "Every TNA/Impact Wrestling Knockout Champion," "Every TNA/Impact Wrestling X-Division Champion" & "Every TNA/Impact Wrestling World Tag Team Champion." Please & thank you.
@@red5158077 What same ending, he did 1 DQ match with Kevin Ownes and won clean in his triple threat match at Wrestlemania. All the other matches around that time was just regular and having interviews with other superstars on his podcast basically doing promotional work. It's no different to others who are on this is it that did the same if not others in the past, the Miz is one that comes to mind.
With Gillberg you missed how they released him in early 99 while still champion which is where his TV absence comes from, although he did show up on European tours 🤷♂️
Y’all remember when Roman Reigns heavily criticized Brock Lesnar and John Cena for being part-timers call rarely ever showed up only for him to do the same thing a couple years later? The utter hypocrisy. Yet I like to see how all the Roman marks try to make excuses for him.
Roman was at nearly every single PPV from Payback 2020 to Wrestlemania 38. HIAC 2021's match was moved to Smackdown for ratings, and some other show, I think he was injured. His WWE title reign is certainly a different entity from the 1st half of his Universal title reign.
I seem to remember Lex Luger running out of dates when he won the title back in 91. He only defended it once in 92 iirc in a losing effort to Sting at Superbrawl 2?
It doesn't matter how frequently Reigns defended the title he meant the matches meant something and brought big time feeling he had great defenses against Cena,Brock,Edge,Drew,Sami and Cody. If he wrestled on weekly basis then those matches would not feel special and the title would not feel as much prestigious. If you look in the past Except for Attitude Era where they played hot potato with the title , every other long WWE title reigns had very less defenses.
3:05 Revisionist History: There was never any such title as the WWE Light Heavyweight Championship. He's thinking of the WWF Light Heavyweight Championship.
You did saw the picture with him and Triple H congratulating him winning right! If he wasn't gonna win the title against Rey back then in November it woulda be down the line next(this) year if not Wrestlemania.
@@akilcharles3473 woo triple h took a picture with him so he is a decent guy? no he is just taking a picture with a walking wallet. As much as the triple H era brought goog, logan paul is not one of them
@@RebelHeartVA Oh sure Logan is not one of them. And by 1 of them a talented superstar that works hard to perform dangerous aerial moves and nearly injuring his body in process and having the most impressive matches that he has been in the WWE for the last 2 years longer than when LA Knight debuted. Oh yeah Logan is totally "not" that guy! 🙄
The Universal title was garbage until Roman held it for the greatest reign in the past 40 years. No other championship in the world felt more important because they can't match his drawing power.
I liked The Bloodline angle but I lost interest after a few months of Roman's reign, I knew it would be pushed to over 1,000 days and switched off completely. Champions should defend their titles on a regular basis (twice a month out of 5 weeks worth of WWE content).
I think roman reigns can be excused as he i is still on medication for leukemia. So i think they are taking extra precaution of the frequency of his matches
I think the problem with Brock Lesnar for me, in contrast to Roman's part time champion, is that you disappear for a couple of months and when u defended the title, those title matches were led to lackluster results, except for Aj Styles and the 4 way match, but the rest were horrible... matches with roman, the rumble match, versus big men like Samoa Joe and Braun Strowman... Thats why i criticized roman's singles title defenses post wm39, except for wm40 ofc...
I think Lesnar's title reign might have been the most painful for me. I hate him to start with and the fact that you practically never saw the title, let alone a title MATCH on TV in all that time? UGH. I'm glad he's gone. I truly hope he stays away forever.
I mean no disrespect whatsoever here, however, it is slightly unfair, to say Romans first reign ended because he signed a new deal and was a part time performer now. The man behind the gimmick, literally left due a Leukemia diagnosis. Not because he had fewer dates in his new contract.
glad they did this. people always trash talk logan as if more people didn’t defend their championship less. he brought eyes to the company which is the main goal
If I was Adam, I would start preparing for lawsuit coming his way from Logan Paul regarding that forest comment since nowadays that’s all he is doing filling lawsuit against guys who call him out for his bs
