I still don't get why everyone hates the new WWE Championship belt (which isn't so new as it's been around for almost 4 years now). It looks classy, rich and it definately looks like the top prize in the business. No matter who it is worn by, in my opinion it always looks great. And for all you smarks (opps, I mean "smart wrestling fans") who are saying get rid of the spinner, here's a newsflash: It hasn't spun for over a whole freaking year!
I still love the belt, not because John Cena introduced it (which is why everyone hates it) but because it looks awesome. If Edge or Randy Orton introduced that same belt, you'd love it too. But because Cena introduced it when he was starting to get booed by the fans, the belt is automatically disliked even though it looks better than all the current titles in the WWE. The old WWE Title (the one before Cena's 2005 reign) was just bland and boring to me. It didn't scream "World Champion". It just looked like it was another irrelevant title in the company.
As for the Winged Eagle, Attitude Era and all those other belts that are probably thrown in the bin by now, they are not coming back. The WWE has moved on, and the WWE Championship sells very big according to Jim Ross, more so than any other title has sold in the history of the company. That says something. The fans love the belt and the belt looks classy and it looks like it is only worthy to be hold by legitimate main eventers. Nobody looks stupid with it, if Triple H can look serious holding that WWE Title, than I'm sure the Undertaker can as well. It's just another lame reason to bash John Cena, but if you looked past all that bullshit, it actually truly is a superb looking title that should stick around for many years to come.
