Am I the only one who is wondering why Orton is still carrying around that spinner belt? Easy. Randy Orton is John Cena's personal belt rack. Maybe I'm the only one but whoever is the champion can't be taken seriously as long as they're carrying around Cena's belt. They're just holding it for him until he gets back. It's why as glad as I was to see Edge win the WWE title I couldn't quite take him seriously either. Even though he modified it with his logo it was still obvious it was going right back to Cena.

^ Exactly
And I never got the merchandising argument. It's not like if they got rid of the belt they wouldn't be able to sell it anymore. So what if it's not on TV every week. If it's really that hot of a seller, then it'll keep selling when they carry it at merchandise stands and online.

Sadly enough we will get Cena: 4 time WWE champ soon enough

this is why Orlando Jordon needs to come back. He seems to know what to do with Spinner Belts. No one else does. I think JBL did the blowing up If he does it to the WWE title then I'm all for another JBL reign Wait someone besides Orlando is doing the blowing? You learn something new everyday.

I don't know man, it's been like 2 years. I guess WWe just got used to it, and figured that everyone else did too.
Btw, the spinny part, not only has it been mentioned, but I also brought up that WWe Title = Autobots matrix of Leadership. Perhaps it will spin again one day for the chosen one.

Just seeing the undisputed title on Lesner on someone's sig makes me cry because that particular belt, for me anyway, replaced the old IC belt as the best belt ever.

It makes the belt look like a gimmick...

It makes the belt look like a gimmick... Maybe I missed the sarcasm or something but the belt IS a gimmick. Especially that one because it was created FOR a gimmick. Besides, WWE knows that there's a ton of cash to be made off replica belts, so I imagine within' the next year or so the will create a new version of the belt. As long as they don't change the World Heavyweight Title (more than they already did) I'm happy. Now THAT'S what a World Title should look like!!

Spinner belt is here to stay, as long as Cena's ride isn't over.
He may be injured right now, but when he'll be back, he'll pick up from where he left, so reverting to the old belt is a waste of time.

What I don't get is that WWE is using their spinner belt and the old WCW belt. I would have thought by now it would at least be the spinner belt and the old WWF winged eagle or attitude era belt, since Vince usually doesn't like things he didn't create.
I like the World Title and all, but just saying this as an observation.
If I had my choice, we'd have the old winged eagle or round attitude era belts back, along with the current World title belt. Man, I loved those round eagle belts, and they remind me of wrestling when I was younger. THAT is what THE title should look like to me.
I hate the spinner belt as the main belt. I don't mind it as a gimmicky sort of thing, like the million dollar belt. But unless you are John Cena you shouldn't have to wear that piece of crud. I'd love someone to beat Cena, and the next night their first act as champion is to smash that thing to pieces, then unveil a real title belt. It would give instant credibility to whomever did it, as the spinner belt does make anyone who wears it look like a transitional champ just waiting to give it back to Cena.

The old belt was in the limo with Vince.
