WWE Hall of Famer Edge thinks that Bruno Sammartino was the biggest WWE Superstar of all time, and he may not be too wrong:

"It feels like the end, the kind of end of an era in terms of, he's the biggest star of the WWF/WWE ever. I mean, you can say 'Stone Cold' [Steve Austin] and you can say [Hulk] Hogan, but if you're looking at MSG sellouts, if you're looking at… I mean, Bruno, man, was champ I think you're looking at, combined in two reigns, 11 years, like, 4,000 however many days. That doesn't happen nowadays."

Bruno Sammartino walked into WWE in 1963 and Vince McMahon Sr. immediately saw him as a top WWE Superstar. Sammartino became the World Heavyweight Champion and his first reign lasted 2,803 dats. That’s seven years, eight months, and one day, spanning from 1963 to 1971.

He became the World Heavyweight Champion a second time in 1973 and held the title for 1,237 days. His combined reigns 4,040 days which is almost double of Hulk Hogan’s 2,185 days as Champion in eight combined reigns.

Considering that WWE likes to mix things up nowadays and build new stars, this is one record that will never be broken as it would push the WWE Universe away from the product. Seeing the same WWE Superstar hold the title for that long in the modern era could end up taking all the excitement away from WWE.
