Earlier today in the LOW Fed Forum when making my prediction for the next match in bookerbill's great annual tournament, I picked Buddy Rogers to win the next match becase Rogers is a record 7 time champion in my LOW fed history (based on Rogers's accomplishments both in my previous LOW fed and my current LOW fed the VWF which is a spinoff of my previous LOW fed and thus recognizes all previous title reigns.) Buddy Rogers has the record in my fed's history with 7 main championship reigns (5 World Championship reigns, 1 MLW Championship reigns , and 1 VWF Championship reigns.) Who is/are the greatest champion/s in your LOW fed?

Frank Gotch by far. He's defeated all comers and though he did have a couple fluke losses (back when a wrestler died, if he was in Legends, I gave him a title shot..Chris Candido and Billy Red Lyons both stunned my World champs to win the belts for a brief time)he's had it more times and longer than any other wrestler. Randy Savage would be next but he came into the game far later.

Harley Race for me. He has had the world title 4 different times and has had the longest reign at 15 months and counting.
Second would be Rogers and Bock with 2 title runs each.

Great question and wish I had my stats handy but here is the basics:
Mil Mascaras and Nick Bockwinkel are ranked 1 & 2 for most defenses of their championships which is how I determined longest reign. Since I switched to color cards-only with B&W cards only for guest appearances, Lou Thesz had the most defenses. Special mention to my first two champions Bobo Brazil and Buddy Rogers who swapped the title in the early days of my fed.
Nick Bockwinkel and Ted Dibiase won the most titles in my past feds as Dibiase's color card earned two runs in addition to this 4 times in the B&W days. Bockwinkel had five runs as champion but has yet to capture the title in the color version.
Nick Bockwinkel and Harley Race were dubbed the World's Finest Tag Team back in my B&W fed and broke the record for tag-teams. They first beat out the 2nd place Valiants and then topped the 1st place team - The Road Warriors. They only had two reigns however as they killed the competition in my tag division.
Finally, the most reigns belong to the Midnight Express as they held the titles five times. A couple of times they dropped to a makeshift or underdog team who may have earned a shot against a regular team/former champions. They always seemed to dominate the rematches when that happened. However, their feud with the Killer Bees was a highlight of my fed as these teams had the fans buzzing. LOL
The Road Warriors are second with 4 title wins and the Valiants were my first 3x winners. The Valiants were interesting as they dominated early on when I had the original set of 24. Their waterloo arrived when the LOD destroyed them in a brutal cage match. Had them split up right after as Jimmy had an injury in that cage match but kept Johnny as a manager/prelim of sorts. Once the other sets were released and new teams arrived like the Midnights, never used them in the title picture again. One last things, after the Valiants left Killer Kowalski and Ox Baker earned a tag-title shot. This duo beat the Road Warriors but the LOD got a rematch after some bloody battles. The LOD also had trouble with the Killer Bees as Brunzell and Blair had 2 short reigns but over the top teams LOD and Midnights.

I believe the greatest champion is the one with longest title reign ?
LWF Heavyweight Champion 136 days Johnny Valentine
Anarchy UK Heavyweight champion 202 days Bruiser Brody
WCW Heavyweight Champion 236 days the Destroyer

Gotta be Randy Savage for me. He held the title for just under nine months but had 21 successful defenses.
