10 Best WWE Championship Reigns Of The 1990s

10. Ric Flair (January-April 1992)

Out of his 16 World championships (or 21 if you believe the man himself), only two of Ric Flair's reigns on top came for WWE.

The longest of those reigns - his first - only lasted 77 days, but The Nature Boy crammed a lot into just over two months with the belt. 

Flair captured the title in the most dramatic fashion. He lasted over an hour to win the 1992 Royal Rumble match from the number 3 spot, putting on one of the greatest performances in the stipulation's history. 

The champion's biggest test came against "Macho Man" Randy Savage, which culminated in a great bout at WrestleMania VIII that definitely should have been the main event. Flair and Savage clashed over the lovely Miss Elizabeth, who Slick Ric famously claimed "was mine before she was yours!" 

Savage defeated the lying heel to bring Flair's title reign to an end. It might not have been the lengthiest run, and he might have played second fiddle to Hogan (quelle surprise), but Naitch still gave fans plenty to WOOOOOOO about in early '92.
