2. Ivan Koloff ends Bruno Sammartino's WWE Title Reign
WWWF in the 1960s was all about one man - Bruno Sammartino. The second-ever WWE Champion holds the record for the longest-ever run with the title, a record that will likely never ever be broken, with his reign lasting over seven years at 2,803 days.
No one ever thought Bruno would lose, but then on day 2,804, ‘The Living Legend’ faced off with Ivan Koloff in Madison Square Garden, and Bruno lost.
There were no boos, no cheers, just stunned silence, as ‘The Russian Bear’ did the impossible. And then things got rowdy. WWE officials were anticipating this to happen, and so quickly ushered Koloff to the back, as crying fans couldn’t believe their hero had been vanquished.
Fearing things could get ugly at any moment, Koloff dropped the belt to Pedro Morales after a three-week reign.
