10 Longest Times Between First And Last WWE Title Victories
10. Billy Gunn - 23 January 1995 - 26 January 2014 (19 Years, 3 Days)
Given his association with 'that other company' these days, WWE might just be a little bit miffed that Billy Gunn sneaks into this list ahead of partner Road Dogg. So long as 'The Roadie' remains an intrinsic part of WWE's backstage staff - and as long as Triple H's around, he will - that could yet change.
The young 'One' Billy Gunn - from Orlando, FL, keep in mind - began his life in Stamford as one of the rooting, tootin' cowboys making up The Smoking Gunns. What Billy and Bart lacked in practical ring gear they made up for in being tall and blonde, and it was only a matter of time before they had a set of shiny gold belts to keep their jeans up.
WWE tried repeatedly to make Billy Gunn into a viable singles superstar, but despite predilections for posteriors or King of the Ring victories, it simply couldn't stick - no thanks to barbed dismissals by The Rock. Tag wrestling was Gunn's bread and butter, and it was his partnership with Road Dogg which ultimately defined his career.
When he returned to WWE in 2012, it wasn't as an 'Ass Man', but an Outlaw. For the sake of old times, he claimed his tenth tag team title at Royal Rumble 2014, almost twenty years since the first.
