The WWE Title Design, The Design Of The Era

[berlinbrawler]

I share the opinion that the current WWE title is too flashy. It's just an ugly, childish looking thing and has long since outlived it's original purpose. It's time for a change there.

The design before that wasn't much better, though, when JBL, Eddie or Lesnar were champions. Kinda ugly, too, and old-fashioned looking.

The best WWE title was the one from the attitude era. Great design in its simplicity. Big and round and overall just great looking. The winged eagle belt was great, too, only too small. Take that design, make it as big as the attitude belt, and wow.

The WHC belt on the other hand I love. Classic design, only very subtle changes over the years. Keep it that way!

The Intercontinental belt is a bit of an enigma to me. As a kid I loved the design worn by Mr. Perfect, Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels. When daydreaming of becoming a wrestle I wanted to become IC champion, not WWF champion, because the belt looked so cool.
I hated the change to the belt design in the late 90s. And I still hate it to this day. Hate it. Hate it. Hate it. Hate it. But for some reason they're sticking with it. One of the lamest belts ever, and it's a main stay. Ugh.

And then there is the new Tag Titles design. Words fail my there. What the hell were they thinking? Did they figure that since tag teaming is dead, let's give them a belt that reflects that worthlessness?

Same here... I absolutely loved that title. I also liked the storylines in that division. So many great wrestlers and action.

I've never been a fan of any of the WWE Heavyweight Titles. The only one that I really liked was the Wing belt. I think WCW had the best title designs (all divisions). I think no company has ever topped the designs of WCW titles yet. They had a great look and could be implemented in any era and still look modern. That's what I call a great design.

No belt design ever came close to this one.

Going back to that design might go a long way in returning relevance to the title.

Instead they'll probably not give it another thought and stick with this one for the next 50 years.

A design that screams cheap, worthless, irrelevant.

The winged eagle is my favorite championship belt ever. It has a timeless look to me. They could bring it back now and people who have never seen it would love it. I own a replica of it, and I take it to WWE shows. The older fans love seeing it again, and kids seeing it for the first time will tell me how awesome it looks. I think that pretty much makes it timeless.
