That depends, do you count now until Survivor Series as a "long" time?

At SS Owens's reign will be 84 times longer than any other Universal championship reign before which sounds pretty long to me!

I've been watching a lot of al snow shoot videos on YouTube recently and man he might be the biggest blowhard in wrestling history. All he talks about is how the best matches are only the ones that make money and I'm pretty sure he never drew a dime. At least Nash made money.

Since returning to wrestling Owens has been by far my favourite. He does everything well and cares so much about the little details. I find him so good on the mic and in the ring. He's put on some of the best matches this year and all his segments with Jericho have been amazing.
The title run so far hasn't been what I wanted but that's mostly because the story line of Folley trying to get the belt off him is pretty poo poo and especially doesn't work when the guy they want to give it to is Roman.

I love Zayn and Owens but Finn is the most vanilla motherfucker imaginable. I have no idea what anyone sees in him. Telling that for a big part of his NXT reign, the tag teams were basically headlining.

When the drug test comes back positive for performance enhancing drugs.
Mick in the role of a babyface screwing over a heel Kevin Owens doesn't make a lot of sense, because despite being a heel, Kevin hasn't actually done anything wrong. He's said mean things that have hurt people's feelings, but as far as we know, Kevin did not know Triple H was coming in to hand him the belt, and he hasn't cheated to win any matches in recent memory. The distractions from last week were unprovoked by Kevin, and while he did take the opportunity to use Rusev's distraction to get a pin, I can't think of a babyface on the roster who wouldn't do the same thing.

Kevin Owens has done nothing wrong and is getting pushed down by Mick Foley, a guy who is motivated by revenge because someone that was not Kevin Owens undermined him and ruined his big fatal fourway match. Why the gently caress am I supposed to hate Kevin Owens again?

I hope Asuka, Joe, Balor, Owens, Zayn, Cesaro and Nakamura end up on Smackdown. And Asuka wins some kind of tournament where she gets to challenge for a title and says she wants the WWE.

I've been looking at some of her matches and she's just too much for the women. Very fast and she would need to slow down to make them look better and I don't think many of them know how to sell for her.

Kevin Owens is a good wrestler that wrestles good matches but his booking could turn this title reign into a garbage fire.

Kevin Owens as NXT champ was the right way, an opportunistic violent shithead, potentially capable of winning legit but always looking for a shortcut, with a mean streak that implied you might be in real danger for fighting him. He won the NXT title by trying to murder his former best friend until the ref ruled it a TKO to save the man's life.

Basically it all boils down to Folley's character not making any sense and generally sucking. The only good moments he's had is when Jericho is ripping on him

No, the fat stripper is a good worker. The fat stripper makes you believe. Owens isn't quite up to that level. He's just fat.

Kevin Owens violently beating Seth until they have to stop the match at Clash of Champions would be cool. I'm sure they can do that angle without using shoot elbows to the head.

RAW definitely feels directionless since Steph and Foley are kind of in limbo and Hunter is looming over everything.

I mean there's a ton of problems with RAW and that's just a small part.

They should do this if they really want to cement Seth as a face, but it'll probably be a dumb gently caress-finish involving Reigns.

The problem with Owens isn't his weight. The problem is best summed up with the "You deserve it!" chants when he won the title. People don't care about him as a heel character. When the Rock won his title for the first time, people weren't happy for him and chanting "You deserve it." When Jericho won the title in 2008, people weren't happy even though usually everyone loves Jericho. He was such a great heel that people were able to suspend disbelief.

it's not even Owens fault, until the last three minutes of last night there was no de facto babyface to cheer against him

You're thinking too hard about it. It's WWE Sports Entertainment®, not professional wrestling. The basic rules of storytelling & character development do not apply anymore.

I was watching some Austin 96 on the network. When Austin got cheers, he got on a mic and said something like "What the hell are you so happy about? You didn't do anything for me. I don't give a rat's rear end about any of you!"
