Fightingest WWE Big Gold Belt Holders

[BatistaWasRight]

I made a previous topic about who had the most U.S. title defenses in the WWE.  I went ahead and did this for the World Heavyweight title, too, since there were a relatively small amount of champions, and I think this sort of stuff is fun.

 

Here are the wrestlers who defended the WWE's version of the big gold belt the most in a single reign:

 

1. Triple H/Sheamus, 8
2. Christ Benoit/Batista/Kane/Mark Henry, 6
3. Undertaker/Edge/Daniel Bryan, 5

Interestingly enough, if you take combined title reigns into account, the pack cleaves a little more neatly:

 

1. Edge/Triple H, 15
2. Batista, 10
3. Sheamus/Undertaker, 8

Here is the spreadsheet for reference.  I got the data from www.profightdb.com.

Wow.  Christ Benoit.

[Joe Fixit]

Mark Henry averaged two title defenses a month and two of those were when he was injured. Clearly he is the fightingest WHC.

Mark Henry defends the title every day in nonsanctioned matches against fools who didn't pay their air bill.

Air Man better run for his life then.
