Not everyone gets to make it to the top, however. There are only so many seats at the top table, and it takes a strong blend of hard work, skill, and good fortune to get there. Every wrestler on the planet wants to become “the guy,” but very few get the opportunity to actually call themselves world champion, and most are destined to spend their careers in their company’s lower reaches.

Capturing one world title is hard enough, but becoming a multi-time champ requires a near perfect set of circumstances. Getting to the top is hard enough in the first place and staying there is even harder, yet there are a number of wrestlers whose longevity and dedication has kept at them at the forefront for many years, and in some cases, decades.
