Does AEW do too many custom championships?

[Instant Classic]

Sammy Guevara, Scorpio, Rusev, HoB, MJF, the list goes on.

Is it too much? But I will take no negative feedback on the Acclaimed. Those are the best titles I’ve ever seen.

I am not a fan of MJF's as the strap just makes everything wash together...The belt design enough is very busy from a distance that it makes it hard to really make out anything.


Love the AEW title up close it's just one of those belts like the new WHC that you can't tell what the heck is going on most of the time when you look at it.

Feels like an inevitability. More versions of the title belt mean more replicas and toy accessories, replicas and toy accessories make money, therefore we get more of them because it's clearly within budget to keep making more.

I like that the plates being kept consistent on different straps. It's a nice way to visually distinguish the belts while maintaining a sense of identity for them.

I like them. I've never bought a replica belt or had any desire to so I can't speak from a collector's point of view, but as a viewer, I like that the wrestlers give their belts a personality. As long as they remain recognisable and don't spin, I'm good.

Just saw they’re selling replica of the Acclaimed belts for…… wait for it….. $5000…

I thought everyone gimmicked their TNT title when they won it originally?

[Cyno]

I don't see how it's any different than the major WWE championships having custom sideplates for each holder. They both add a fun amount of individuality.

[Dub H]

Its just the straps which I like.

I always thought the best change WWE did to their titles are the custom sideplates,adds personality.

I think the only real ""custom"" title was Punk's stupid X Title

They're very high quality super-limited editions. Only 10 of them are being made and each comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by Caster, Bowens, and Gunn. So they aren't exactly your typical replica belts that normally go for a few hundred bucks.

"Does AEW do too many..."

If you have to ask, then probably, yeah. That's what I do when there's something about the AEW product I don't like.

That was only the case for Miro, Sammy and Scorpio. The belt initially made it to TV unfinished and was a red strap with silver plates, then it was finished and was a red strap with gold plates, then that version was retired when Brodie passed and was replaced with the black strap and gold plates we have now.

I don't mind the custom belts at all, but I would like to see the standard Trios titles get used for whoever wins them next. Feels like we barely got to see the original design on TV.

The funniest part of the price of The Acclaimed titles is that they're specifically 4,999 dollars, like 4,999 is just enough for them, but 5,000 would be too much lol

Sammy had a custom? Probably better I forgot it.



Anyway, I like the idea of the TNT having custom straps, neat touch. Kinda liked when the IC title seemed to change straps when I was young.

MJF having a custom title makes sense for his character going for a big FU to AEW but that gets lost with everyone having them.

The trios titles changing don't make sense to me. I guess I can get HoB making them darker to fit their vibe but The Acclaimed having them is a bit much, even for a neat idea.

Which makes no sense! It's a trios title make it divisible by three so a dude and two friends can make a huge mistake! Don't limit yourselves!

There is gonna be 3 trios of friends with matching sets and one lonely person with a single belt and no friends

No, as the best one hasn't been created yet. I am, of course, talking about Roddy "The Simp" Strong and his belt with "ADAM!" on the right sideplate, "ADAM!" on the front of the belt, and "ADAM!" on the left sideplate.

[Xxcjb01xX [PIECE OF: SH-]]

Nah, keep doing it

They all look great, give the belts their own personalities to match their champions, and most importantly, haven't gotten into "JEFF HARDY NIGHTMARE FACE" territory...

[Mozenrath]

I don't mind them, even if some look better than others. Granted, I particularly like when it's done with the TNT title because the title's history already meant it was on its third or fourth design by the time Darby got it, anyway, so custom belts kind of became a natural course of action with the belt.
