OFFICIAL POLL: WWE Championship belt

[Soultastic]

New design. As much as I'd love having the Attitude Era belt back, there's no point in reverting back to an old belt.

Put WWE in place of ROH

Now I see why some people view ROH guys as bland...just look at what they are fighting for...it is the vanilla of championships.

New Design, to quote a song "It's a new day", we need a new title design.

[Renslayer]

Create a new championship belt. While I love the old belts, creating something new would be better going forward.

[aress]

Bring back the Smoking Skull belt.

It makes as much sense as keeping the current design.

[Shaun2k5]

I wonder if the "chav" design is why Undertaker doesn't want to hold the WWE title? xD

^Or, Mark Henry Matt Hardy become champ, eat the belt, and we have to get a new one. [/joke]

Fixed.

[Marvelously Mediocre]

Totally new design. Even if it's worse than the spinner the past is the past and should be left alone.

[Gus Richlen: Ruffian]

i'd keep the spinner belt but i'd

1. make it spin again, and
2. replace the diamonds with emeralds, because

a. i hate diamonds, and
b. i like emeralds.

[leilaorton]

I like the spinner belt.. it gives the belt some depth

That has been taken care of.



As for the current line-up of WWE belts, I would do the following if it were my call -

1- Merge the WWE and World titles into one.
2- Have one tag team championship.
3- Same for the women's/Diva's belts.
4- Unify the IC and US belts.
5- Have the champions defend their titles over both brands. The current title holders should be the only ones allowed to cross brands.
6- Make all new designs for the belts (WWE World, IC, World tag team and Women's title) and keep things simple. Having so many belts makes them all worth less. The belts used during the 1980's to the late 1990's meant more because not everyone could hold them.
7- Hire my business to make these new belts. Lord knows I would do everything to make them look like they matter. Belts should look like championship prizes, something you could see two grown men willing to fight each other for, not toys you can get at Wal-Mart. No moving/spinning parts, no gimmicky designs. No butterflies. Just nice, clean, well thought out belts that look like they're worth fighting for.

That's one sexy ass belt. Good job, dude!

Anyway, I think the spinner belt should have been a one off belt like the Smoking Skull was. You know, specific to one guy.

THAT is an awesome looking belt right there.

There's only two things I have to mention about some of those points:

1- Only if the belt that stays around is the Big Gold Belt.

4- Do not unify IC and US belts. Turn the US championship into a lower midcard title like the European Championship (after all, continent > country).

the problem with having Cena turn heel and tear off the spinner is that he'll debut yet another belt that caters to the John Cena character. So you're not progressing, you're just running in circles.

I think WWE will never bring back any of the older belts. they are like bench marks for a time and place in wrestling. The Winged Eagle was like the late 80's-90's. The big Gold one is the Attitude Era. The Undisputed belt was really just the post-Attitude era when WWE was looking for a new path.

I feel like someone should just say look, I'm the new WWE Champion and when I look at this belt, I feel like John Cena is the WWE champion and I'm just holding onto his belt. So therefore it is with great pleasure that I unveil the new WWE Championship belt that will be universally worn from this day forward.


Plus...it doesn't even say Champion on it...it just says CHAMP. WWE CHAMP...pth. Come on, enough is enough already!

[chriskessaris3hm]

Yeah, I don't think anyone is talking about getting rid of the big gold belt. Why would anyways ever do such a horrible thing?

I don't really like the idea of merging all the belts. IC and US belts should stay separate and 1 per show. I'd have 1 other brand specific belt like how Dibiase has the Million Dollar belt. I'd give Smackdown the Cruiserweight title.

I'm all for a total redesigning of all the belts though. I'll try to figure out a good way to do some pics on my computer and load some images.

wwe has been making their belts silver recently so id like something similar to the wcw tv title that austin had back in the day.also sometimes the tna title looks gorgeous with the white gold and traditional gold on the belt but they need to polish the belt more otherwise it looks odd.by polish i mean make it shine.

[-Lithium-]

WWE Undisputed. Easily the best looking title ever. Winged Eagle is close in design, but it doesn't match it, and it's small enough to be a crusierweight title...
