Greatest World Title Reigns

 Greatest World Title Reigns (June 2015)

This is a ranking of individual world title reigns based on length, competition, overall impact and general quality. I included the dates as well as who they beat and who they lost to in order to differentiate and to give more context. I previously did a list ranking every world champion to that point. This list only includes WWE and WCW/NWA world champions.
