Helms went on to feud with Jimmy Wang Yang over the Cruiserweight Title, defeating him to retain the title at Armageddon 2006. He has held the Cruiserweight Title Belt for a record of over 365 days now, more than doubling the former record set by Tajiri who held the WCW (then carried over into WWF) Cruiserweight Title for 162 days during and after the Invasion Angle.
On January 29, 2007, Helms became the first person to hold the Cruiserweight Championship for one full calendar year. The last male wrestler to have held a WWE title for a full year was Gillberg who held their now defunct WWF Light Heavyweight Championship from November 17, 1998-February 8, 2000.
Following Armageddon and into 2007, Helms would begin a short-lived feud with The Boogeyman before once again feuding with the entire Cruiserweight division on Smackdown. During this feud with the Cruiserweights at No Way Out, Helms' reign as Cruiserweight Champion finally came to an end when he was unable to win a Cruiserweight open invitational which saw Chavo Guerrero walk out champion.
In The Squid and the Whale, a poster of The Hurricane is seen, even though the film is set in the 1980s (IMDB).
Gregory Helms has had a different gimmick in each of his 3 Cruiserweight Championship reigns.
Helms is a comic book fan, one of his favorites is The Green Lantern. He has a tattoo on his biceps which is the Lantern's logo and his original WWE character The Hurricane was inspired by The Green Lantern.
The Hurricane character was an idea of Stone Cold Steve Austin.
Helms performed as the stunt double of actor David Arquette in the movie Ready to Rumble.
Helms is the only wrestler to have held both WWE and WCW Hardcore & Cruiserweight Titles .
Helms has his navel pierced which he removes while wrestling.
Helms was not only the longest reigning Cruiserweight Champion in history, but also was and still is the longest champion in SmackDown! history.
