#7 Hulk Hogan: Champion for 1400 days

Hulk Hogan is synonymous with 1980s wrestling. He kicked off the Rock and Wrestling craze when he defeated Iron Sheik for the WWF world championship in front of a sell out crowd.

From there, Hogan would go on to defend the title against men like Andre the Giant, King Kong Bundy and others. Hogan's infrequent title defenses somewhat tarnish his long reign, but he is still the man most associated with the WWE championship.
