Gregory Helms, who is most notably remembered as The Hurricane, was a famous name on Smackdown back in the early 2000s. His superhero gimmick was adored by fans, especially the kids who loved the superstar who wore a cape as part of the character.

Helms is the longest reigning cruiserweight champion of all time. Gregory held the title for 385 days!

A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.

The cruiserweight championship might not be active now but back in the days, it was a significant belt.

Men like Rey Mysterio and Chavo Guerrero won the belt on more than one occasion with Mysterio being the eight-time cruiserweight champion- the most by any men.

With all that said, none of the aforementioned names was able to hold the belt for that as long as Gregory and that truly marks helms' reign as praiseworthy.

385 days, the number of days Gregory Helms held the cruiserweight title. He was at the top of his game and the entire cruiserweight locker room on Smackdown did try to put down helms but Gregory managed to beat them all.

It was at No Way Out in 2007 when Gregory Helms lost his title to Chavo Guerero in an 8-men open elimination match.
