5 Longest WCW World Title reigns in history

#1. Hulk Hogan - 1994-1995 (469 days)

Hulk Hogan: First reign as WCW World Champion was the longest in the title's history

Hulk Hogan signed on with WCW to huge fanfare in the summer of 1994 and huge expense.

Hogan penned the richest deal in wrestling and only signed on for an initial six months. However, he ended up staying for six years, almost to the day.

His last event in WCW was Bash at the Beach 2000 and his first was six years earlier at Bash at the Beach 1994.

At that event, he faced WCW World Champion, Ric Flair for the title. It was the first time the pair had fought on pay per view and was a huge financial success for the company and Hogan personally.

So, much so, that WCW kept the belt on Hogan for well over a year. He finally dropped the strap to newcomer, The Giant (The Bigshow) on a silly screwjob, as his lost the belt via DQ after his manager, Jimmy Hart hit the referee with the title belt.

Hogan's reign had been a massive success and his second would be even greater.
