#9 The Iron Sheik - 28 days
The Iron Sheik is well known in the wrestling industry as being a little bit mad these days, with his controversial Twitter outbursts overshadowing what a great legacy the guy has in the business.
His historical feud with Hulk Hogan both in and outside of the ring is well documented, with the Hulkster being the one to end The Sheik’s four-week title reign.
After winning the strap against Bob Backlund at a house show, Sheik carried the WWE Championship for less than a month before dropping it to Hogan in one of the most famous moments in the history of professional wrestling.
Some say it kick started Vince's company and took things to a whole new level, with Hogan's reign eventually lasting 1,474 days.
Some people believe that 'Sheiky baby' should have had a more extended run with the strap, but in the grand scheme of his career, this made sense. The ultimate heel will forever be remembered for his part in this historical moment, and as a result, there's no reason for him to be ashamed.
Moving on to yet another legend of the business.
