I was thinking about how people complained about Dean Ambrose's lack of title defenses during his reign, so I began to compile title defense data from www.profightdb.com.

 

Ignoring the initial title win, dark matches, "MSG shows," and the title loss, I was able to determine that these are the WWE U.S. champions that have had the most defenses for individual reigns:

 

  • Dean Ambrose, 14 defenses
  • Antonio Cesaro, 13 defenses
  • Kofi Kingston, 9 defenses
  • Miz, 6 defenses
  • Dolph Ziggler, 5 defenses 

 

In other words, far from having too few title defenses, he actually has the most of any WWE U.S. champion.  They're just spaced out over a longer time period.  I have the data in a spreadsheet, if anyone wants to see...

 

I've got to go to something, but I'll likely post everything on GoogleDocs later on just in case anyone is curious.  If anyone has suggestions on a better document storage tool, let me know!

 

Update - Here is the link for the spreadsheet.

Never actually tried counting, but I would've thought Cesaro would've had more with his title reign being about 9 months or so as I recall.

Cesaro was forever more jobbing non title matches.

 

Yeah but I recall he was beating Santino and Miz for stretches on end as well.

I counted four:

 

Ric Flair, Matt Hardy, Kane, Rey Mysterio

 

This is subject to ProFightDB.com missing defenses, of course.

 

He had 3 matches with Benoit on PPV.

 

 

But he wasn't the champion for two of those matches, and lost?

 

MVP had a heart condition during much of his title reign.
