The Big Boss Man's four runs with the Hardcore title involved feuds with the likes of Mick Foley and Al Snow, adding a storyline aspect to the title picture. The most infamous one was the angle with Snow where Boss Man kidnapped Snow's dog Pepper and (kayfabe) fed it to Al due to a feud over the title. It was Boss Man's fourth reign that takes the record for the longest Hardcore title run, though.

After trading titles with Al Snow five times over a three-month period including the infamous Kennel from Hell match - which has been described as one of the worst gimmick matches in WWE history featuring uninterested dogs placed inside Hell in a Cell - Boss Man started his final reign by beating Snow and the Big Show in a triple threat match on SmackDown. Boss Man would hold the title for 97 days before losing to Test on January 2000.

On the other hand, the longest title reign for the 24x7 title is just 57 days - a record set by NFL celebrity Rob Gronkowski. He won the 24x7 title from Mojo Rawley at this year's WrestleMania and proceeded to hold on to it for nearly two months before R-Truth took the 24x7 title off him by pinning Gronk in his own backyard. The COVID-19 situation contributed to the title staying with Gronk for this long. Hopefully, Truth can hold the 24x7 title long enough and break this record in the near future.
