Kali Yuga began at midnight (00:00) on 18 February 3102 BCE in the proleptic Julian calendar or 23 January 3102 BCE in the proleptic Gregorian calendar, which is also considered by many Hindus to be the time that Krishna left his body (In Hindu belief, avatars don't die).
Kali Yuga (Devnāgari: कली युग) (lit. Age of Kali, also known as The Age of Darkness), is one of the four stages of development that the world goes through as part of the cycle of Yugas, as described in Hindu scriptures, the others being Dwapara Yuga, Treta Yuga, and Satya Yuga. According to the Surya Siddhanta, an astronomical treatise that forms the basis of all Hindu and Buddhist calendars,
Most interpretations of Hindu scriptures believe that earth is currently in Kali Yuga, though others believe that earth is now at the beginning of Dwapara Yuga. Hindus believe that human civilization degenerates spiritually throughout the Kali Yuga: it is mostly referred to as the Dark Age, mainly because people are the furthest possible from God. The description of Kali Yuga given below is an indication of its interpretive relevance in our current worldly existence.
Hindus generally consider morality to be comparable to a bull. In Satya Yuga, the first stage of development, the bull had four legs, and in each age morality is reduced by a quarter. By the age of Kali, morality will be reduced to only a quarter of that of the golden age. Thus, the bull will only have one leg: morality will wait on men.
Kali Yuga should not be confused with the goddess Kali, as these are unrelated words in the Sanskrit language. The "Kali" of Kali Yuga means "terrible," whereas the goddess "Kaali" is the feminine form of "Kaala," which means "time" (though it is believed by some that Kali is the one that governs this age).

Kali Yuga (Devnāgari: कली युग) (lit. Age of Kali, also known as Iron Age), is one of the four stages of development that the world goes through as part of the cycle of Yugas, as described in Hindu scriptures. The other Yugas are Dwapara Yuga, Treta Yuga, and Satya Yuga. According to the Surya Siddhanta, an astronomical treatise that forms the basis of all Hindu and Buddhist calendars, Kali Yuga began at midnight (00:00) on 23 January 3102 BCE in the proleptic Gregorian Calender (18 February in the proleptic Julian calender), which is also considered by many Hindus to be the time that Krishna left his body (In Hindu belief, avatars don't die).
Most interpretations of Hindu scriptures believe that earth is currently in Kali Yuga. However, other interpretations of the same scriptures believe that earth is now at the beginning of Dwapara Yuga. Throughout the Kali Yuga, Hindus believe that human civilization degenerates spiritually. Kali Yuga is sometimes referred to as the Dark age (Iron Age), mainly because people are the furthest possible from god.

that is sad how Sgt. Slaughters reign was transitional then but now that would be considered long in WWE. My fav transitional reign was edges very first title reign to start off 2006. He got the title in shocking fashion by cashing in the MITB for the first time. It was a great moment, then he goes and does the live sex celebration and just has crazy momentum, and it started a great feud between cena and edge. It really was a reign that should of gone longer then three weeks since edge was drawing huge for WWE. But due to WWE wanting cena/hhh and them kinda not doing anything with edge and the MITB that had to happen like that. Just wish it would of gone longer.
