#5.) Longest reigning ROH World Champion 

At 645 days, Samoa Joe till date remains the longest reigning ROH World Champion in the history of the company.  The championship reign is considered one of the greatest of the modern era, with his rivals including CM Punk and Austin Aries, the former who he had an epic trilogy with.

The reign put Joe on the map along with CM Punk, a couple of years prior to being signed by WWE.  Joe would have to take the longer road, however.
