Hypothetically - would you welcome the Winged Eagle back?

[chazraps]

It's 2023 and stranger things have happened. Belt have always been a contentious topic here, and this was one purely WWF iconic creation that just about everyone seems to agree with looked beautiful.

So, let's say just like tonight the need for an additional world title emerged. OR, let's say to make the World Undisputed Universal Comin' Round the Mountain championship belts that Roman currently holds just a single belt (and to continue that stories lineage) the two belts were to be changed to a single belt - how would you feel if the classic Winged Eagle championship returned?

Maybe the WWF at the top is changed to the modern logo, but otherwise it looks exactly the same.

Who you welcome back the genuinely beloved design or would you rather there be a new design and let the past be the past?

[Mozenrath]

I would say no on just using the same design again.

If it merely is evocative of it? Yeah, that'd be totally fine, but just using it again? No, that'd be a bad move, to me.

At this point? I don't know if I want any iconic WWE belt designs associated with this Bloodline bullshit lol

Hottest storyline in years sure would be a bad place for a beautiful title.

I don't think it's the hottest storyline in years anymore, I thought they had something special and kinda ran it into the ground, climaxing with that at Mania

So no, in my humble opinion, as this is an opinionated poll, I don't want the winged eagle near this shit lol

[King Devitt]

Absolutely. It's my favorite world title design from WWE.

[Andee9001]

I'd prefer the Undisputed design

[Cyno]

Eh, leave the past in the past. I'd rather see interesting new designs over nostalgia grabs.

Not sure you're gonna get this...well ever.

The IC white strap return a little over a decade ago was probably their best looking belt of the last 15 years, so absolutely without question I'd welcome that.

[mc74]

I'd happily welcome it back. It's arguably the best world title belt design in all of WWE.

[Bo Rida]

It's the best belt but no. There was a time it could have been bought back but it's too late now. Leave the memories alone.

The possible exception is if a descendant of someone who held it was to win the WWE title and wanted to bring back the belt their parent/grandparent held.

[Sephiroth]

There was a photoshop that floated around a year or two ago of the winged eagle with the current logo imposed on it. A bit awkward but head and shoulders above the current belts.

[häšhtå.gdālėÿ]

I despise the Winger Eagle. Big Gold is the superior belt in every way and I’m glad they went more that direction with the new one.

[Savage Gambino]

Meh. Never been in love with the Winged Eagle belt like that. If they had to bring back a title design, I'd prefer the Undisputed belt or the actual Big Gold.

It's funny, because I have never been able to understand why people love the Undisputed belt so much. To me, it was that belt that started the trend of WWE having unbearably bland belts.

It wasn't bad or anything, but it wasn't good, either, imo. It was just there.

[Hypnosis]

It's always weird when the poll results don't match most of the responses in the thread.

I don't understand the hype behind the Winged Eagle besides nostalgia. It looks cool but we don't NEED it back.

I agree, we need more Snitsky talk.

[Mayonnaise]

No to that ugly ass belt.

[ariestheram]

As a kid first being exposed to wrestling in the 80s what we now call the Winged Eagle was just THE title, it is the belt I always associated with being the champion and it is the one I imagined myself winning. I would absolutely welcome that belt back.

[tirtefaa]

Nah.

It would be one thing if they never retired it, but it's been nearly 25 years since it was around.

I wouldn't mind a similar belt...something that wasn't designed with a gigantic brand logo right in the middle.
