9: Longest women's title reign: The Fabulous Moohla - 28 years
If you thought Bruno Sammartino's record of holding the WWF Championship for over 2000 days was impressive, that is nothing compared to The Fabulous Moolah who is recognised as the woman with the longest title reign of all time. Moolah is credited by the WWE as being a champion for a phenomenal 28 years, a record that will surely never even come close to being beaten.
There is some ambiguity around this figure as we take a look at the details around it. Moolah was the World Women's Champion at the time of Vince's WWF expansion. She won the title back in 1956, being the last woman standing in a 13-person battle royal. When Vince managed to secure Moolah into a full-time contract, he owned the rights to her World Women's Championship belt, officially turning it into the WWF Women's Championship in 1983. Moolah would hold the belt for another year, eventually dropping it to Wendi Richter.

There is also the small matter of the 28-year reign probably being more a product of WWE propaganda. Moolah is recognized as dropping the belt a few times over the 28 year period, but considering she was competing for numerous companies, it's hard to follow the exact status of the belt, or indeed which belt we're talking about. The World Women's Championship was unified with the NWA Women's Championship at one time before that organization banned women's wrestling for a short while.
When she signed with the WWF, it was in everyone's interest to call her a 28-year long champion, even if it was a slight exaggeration. Whatever the case, for nearly 30 years, Moolah was the most prestigious female in all of professional wrestling and was never too far away from holding its most prominent female belt.
