message: Wouldn't it be Triple H when he won the The Intercontinental Championship was immediately abandoned after it was unfied with the World Championship Overlordneo 18:38, 6 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The problem here is that "immediately" isn't a length of time at all (not even 0.00001 seconds). So it can't be measured against any other time. It's like infinity. Triple H never actually held the IC title here, he went from being simple WWF Champion to unified WWF Champion as soon as the bell rang.   If he'd grabbed the mic and announced the unification a minute later, it'd be different. But the stipulation was clear when the match began. It didn't say anything about 0.00001 seconds. This is one of those dubious cases where a primary source (WWE title history) isn't good enough. InedibleHulk (talk) 11:01, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

message: For a long while, it was call the Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship so I thought I would add that to past names. User: SChaos1701
:So it was you? That's not a different, old name but a longer form of the same name. The old (Randy Savage, Bret Hart, Shawn Michaels) designs, which was revived a couple of years ago, actually reads "Intercontinental Heavyweight Wrestling Champion", even though the title was usually just called "Intercontinental Champion". There absolutely was no change in 1992 and least of all does a reference to a video of Wrestlemania I serve as a source for anything but that one event in 1985.

replies: text: On the WWE website, they only list it as the Intercontinental Title just as they do with the World Heavyweight Title. I do think that the page on Wikipedia should reflect that change. Either the Intercontinental Championship should not be preceded by "WWE" or the World Heavyweight Championship should also be preceded by "WWE". TheGary (talk) 17:09, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I am just saying that they also refer to both as being WWE titles at the following link as well: http://corporate.wwe.com/news/2004/2004_10_05.jsp. So it seems that either both should have the prefix or both should not have the prefix. TheGary (talk) 17:52, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

message: i noticed on here triple h's unification was the shortest reign and now i see that dean douglas holds it will 11 mins. so which one is it ?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.252.32.154 (talk) 22:54, 30 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Triple H technically didn't have a reign. As soon as he won, it was unified and immediately ceased being the Intercontinental Championship. "Immediately" isn't a short period of time. It's no time at all. So Dean Douglas is shortest (though Jericho is very close). InedibleHulk (talk) 00:16, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: http://www.wwe.com/classics/titlehistory/intercontinental/322732 i think that hhh had a regin.--HHH Pedrigree (talk) 15:09, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: That also suggests his reign is "October 20, 2002-present". That's a bit over eleven minutes and slightly incorrect. We'd need a better source, with an actual time and mention of a reign, not just a win. He certainly won the belt, but didn't really hold it. InedibleHulk (talk) 23:32, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

text: in that case, Triple H has the lomgest regin ever XD. But i think that a unification it's a one second regin, because he hold it, but inmediatly was unified.--HHH Pedrigree (talk) 01:51, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: "Immediately" means "without interval of time". As soon as the bell rang, that title was unified. Not a second later, or even a nanosecond. Can't be measured, so can't be comparatively ranked among measurable times. It may help to think of "immediately" as something like infinity, but seemingly smaller. InedibleHulk (talk) 04:47, 3 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Maybe we can write something like"shortest regin:Triple H, unification". --HHH Pedrigree (talk) 12:39, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: No, because "shortest" and "longest" are comparative measurements. A reign that had no duration can't be measured or compared to other reigns, so can't be shorter or longer. The shortest reign belongs to either Jericho or Douglas. InedibleHulk (talk) 00:06, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

text: Thanks for pointing this out. It was also wrong, for the same reasons. I've changed it to Hollywood Hogan's shady reign at Bash at the Beach, which lasted about fifteen minutes. InedibleHulk (talk) 05:53, 14 January 2013 (UTC)

message: At one point in time the official name for this title was the WWF Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship (named similar to the NA/SA Heavyweight titles). At some point, it was officially dropped to just the WWF Intercontinental Championship so I think we should try to find an official date (or close), not just list it as WWF Intercontinental (Heavyweight) Championship which implies it's a nickname, or the Heavyweight billing was only dropped when the promotion became WWE, which isn't true. From what I can tell it likely 1992, during either Roddy Piper or Bret Hart's reign, but idk for sure. This isn't just something people imagined like some past discussions implied, this is no different than noting the changes from the WWE World Heavyweight -> WWE World -> WWE Championship. We don't list the entire history as WWE (World (Heavyweight)) Championship because that's just silly. AEWFanboytalk 23:44, 20 May 2021 (UTC)

message: There is an issue I have been noticing where people have been putting Gunther as the longest reigning champion when that is not true yet, but will be on September 8, 2023, the record is still the honky tonk man.  My suggestion is to add a footnote, stating "the record is still technically the Honey tonk Man at 454 days, but this will change on September 8" then on September 8 we can remove this footnote and that way we're still given the correct information and we don't have to keep changing from the Honky tonk man to Gunther and back again a bunch of times like we have been doing for the past day.
