Which was the better 'unofficial' title? I want serious discussions.

Modern day: The Million Dollar Belt is kept safely in the Titan Towers Vault. Taz's FTW Belt is probably in his home on a wall.
'nuff said.

On the one hand, the Million Dollar belt furthered Ted DiBiase's gimmick, and also gave Steve Austin his first title reign (though unofficial of course)
Then again, The FTW belt was created by Taz who did eventually go on to get the ECW championship
so yeah, hard to say really.

Million dollar belt, end of story. I cant even believe this is a debate. A good debate would be "Million Dollar Belt vs WWE Championship", atleast that would be a lick of sense.

Million Dollar Belt, its in a video game and it looks more expensive, plus it was worn by jerry porter.
FTW belt was okay, but not as over as the million dollar belt.

In all seriousness, back when I was growing up you had to remember the WWE titles were different. The WWF championship meant you were the #1 guy, but unlike today the Intercontinetal Championship meant you were the #2 guy in the company. A dream match was always the WWF Champion vs the Interncontinental Champion. Its what the WWE Champ vs Heavyweight Champ would be today.
With that said I always viewed the Million Dollar Man as the #3 guy because of his belt. He had a belt, and again back in the day when there were only 3 singles belts, the Champ, the Intercontintal and the Million Dollar. That was it. And the Million Dollar was the best looking out of them all.
Million Dollar is any always will be the greatest unofficial belt of all time. Im always shocked the E doesnt re-do something like that a guy who creates his own belt. But I guess they dont want to reuse past storylines or something.

There was only three holders for the Million Dollar Belt: Ted DiBiase, Virgil and Steve Austin.
Meanwhile, the FTW title had two holders: Taz and Sabu.
So, basically what this points out is, Virgil's star power evolved a gimmick belt into a serious thought.

What i would like to see, is that Ted becomes the ACTUAL Raw GM, and to announce it he blindsides Coach with the Million Dollar Belt (diamonds = ow) puts him in the Million Dollar Dream, and shoves a couple hundreds down Coach's throat. |

When I was a kid, I really got behind the "Virgil vs Million Dollar Man" feud. When Virgil won, we started caling him 'Folgers.' You know, Dark and rich ROFL |

Million Dollar Belt easily, its the greatest belt ever created in professional wrestling |
