10 Things You Didn't Know About Jay Lethal

10. He's The Fourth Longest Reigning ROH World Champion Ever

When he defeated Jay Briscoe at Ring Of Honor's Best In The World 2015 event, Jay Lethal became only the 20th unique titleholder in the history of the ROH World Title. That June 19, 2015 victory stands out, because Lethal's reign wasn't a quick fix for the promotion.

Far from a placeholder in the title position, Lethal has now held the championship for over 348 days. In that time frame, he has amassed no less than 22 successful title defences. Due to the length of his tenure as champion, Jay is now the fourth longest reigning champion in the lineage of the title.

The only men who are above him read like a 'who's who' of legends in Ring Of Honor's history. At an incredible 645 days, Samoa Joe still leads the pack. Exactly 100 days behind him is Nigel McGuinness, who held the belt for 545 days. Then, the man closest to Lethal is none other than Bryan Danielson, who called the title his for 462 days straight.

Lately, Lethal passed Kevin Steen (328 days) in the rankings, but there's no shame in being behind some of the men listed.
