Sup guys, today I pose to you the question of: What is your favorite world title reign (WWE or WHC) after the year 2000 ? For me it's pretty easy

Steve Austin's 2001 WWE Title reign - Basically from WM all the way up until Vengeance (excluding those two weeks Angle had it)



I know it gets hate but Austin's 2001 heel run was amazing from every aspect, he started off vicious with the power trip and showed great diversity when he decided to do comedy while hurt (not to mention he could still turn the badass on whenever) and on top of all that he probably had the best match run all time as WWE Champion putting out mutiple 5 star matches in this year alone.

What about you guys ?​

Austin's 2001 WWF Title run for the same reasons.

Don't really have any other favourites but I liked JBL's 2004 WWE Title run. His heel run felt like a throwback to the heels of old, he retained against credible names like Eddie, Undertaker, Booker T, Kurt Angle & Big Show and he survived all sorts of stipulations like Bullrope, Last Ride, Barbed Wire Steel Cage, Triple Threat & Fatal 4 Way before dropping the title how it should be dropped, to a young hungry lion who was ready to step up in John Cena.

And I also liked John Cena's 2007 WWE Title run for the variety of opponents he defended the belt against. Monsters like Umaga and The Great Khali, legends like Shawn Michaels and Mick Foley, and younger stars like Edge, Randy Orton and Bobby Lashley. He had some good matches with those guys too.

It's a tie between

1- Brock Lesnar WWE Championship run from SS 2002 to NWO 2004: while true he did lose the title to big show at survivor series 2002 i became hooked with lesnar there i loved when he took the title from angle at WM19 onwards to their classic iron man match in smackdown 2003 all the way until no way out 2004 when he lost it to eddie.

2- 434 Days: ever since punk cut the pipebomb before MITB i became a punk fan i didn't love his 1st title run that he lost it to del rio but come survivor series 2011 i was happy that he took it from del rio onwards to his title reign with classic matches against the likes of ziggler jericho bryan cena and ryback i was pissed that he lost it to the rock at royal rumble 2013 because i would have loved punk holding it to WM29 but still

3- Seth Rollins Title Reign: Like everyone else i was pissed that reigns won the royal rumble in 2015 and i thought hopefully someone would save wrestlemania from having a terrible ending enter seth rollins after having an awesome match against orton that night he would recieve one of the biggest pops when he cashed in during the main event making him the only man to cash in mitb at wm and when he pinned reigns following the curbstomp which i still miss after that he would have hold it until survivor series 2015 when he was forced to vacate his title after he tore his ACL he had matches against the likes of orton ambrose reigns cena neville lesnar sting and kane and he would defeat them all he even won the us championship from cena at summerslam but he lost it back to cena at night of champions and while i hated that he retired sting his run was amazing.

Really enjoyed when Lesnar and Kurt Angle were trading the title back in 2002-03. A lot of classic matches and memorable moments.

I freaking loved The Miz's reign and promos barring his actual Wrestlemania match.

Daniel Bryan's short heel run in 2011-2012 was really good barring the way he lost it.

Chris Jericho's reign was good in 08, only cause of his match with Shawn. That ladder match was fantastic.


Going with The Miz for this one, as I felt his reign was just fire.


If we're mentioning our favorite Title win in general though... Rob Van Dam beating John Cena at ONS takes the cake.

1. Batista 2010 WWE title reign. Batista finally winning the real WWE title meant a lot to me.
2. King Bookah. Long time coming for Booker to win a World title in the WWE.
3. Brock's various title reigns from 2002-2004.
4. Goldberg's WHC title run.
5. Kurt Angle's 2003 reign.
6. Hollywood Hulk Hogan's short run.
7. Undertaker in 2002.
8. Edge in 2006.
9. HBK in 2002.

Think that's it. I loved when Jeff won the belt, but he only had it for like a month and really didn't do much. Benoit would be on the list if he hadn't killed his family, but it is what it is.
