CM Punk is in some high class company. Will he beat Cena's record? Courtesy of wwe.com Infographic: 25 Longest WWE Title Reigns/Last 25 YearsWWE Champion CM Punk began his current title reign by defeating Alberto Del Rio in a grueling match at Survivor Series on Nov. 20, 2011. (PHOTOS) Since then, The Second City Savior has successfully defended the prestigious WWE Championship against the likes of Chris Jericho, Kane, Daniel Bryan, Big Show, John Cena and more.
As Hell in a Cell approaches, take a look at how Punk’s current reign stacks up against 24 other longest-reigning WWE Champions of the last 25 years.
Do you think Punk will surpass Diesel’s 358-day reign?

That is pretty cool. Not always a fan of these things but this is actually a really good way to visualize the different reigns. I didn't realize that Austin's reigns were so short.

Only about 2,500 days before Punk passes Bruno

yeah Austin's reign's were never more than about 3 or 4 months it seemed. That's when they started the flip flopping of the titles. If Punk faces Cena at HIAC i kind of think he'll lose..but maybe not. Unfortunately with TWO WORLD titles now, it doesn't mean what it meant 15 years ago. Does anyone think Punk is the dominant force right now like...Yokozuna was for almost a year? Or Randy Savage in 88' or even Michaels in 96'?

well, to be fair as a kid in 1993-1994 I didn't think wrestling had any babyfaces that were worth a crap, since Yokozuna and Vader had long title reigns in their respective companies that no one could touch. The infograph's cut off date is 25 years though, so at first I was surprised that Savage had a longer title reign than any of Hogan's on the chart.. then I realized that the 25 years cuts off Hogan's initial 3-year run.
