The Big Gold Belt made number nine? Seriously?

I really don't have many problems with the list so far. Unlike others I don't hate everything that looks different simply because it looks different.
My Top 3 would be:
1. The Big Gold Belt 2. The Winged Eagle WWF Championship 3. Million Dollar Championship
I also really liked the European title.

Glad to see that you're not as anti-Divas belt as most posters here. I always thought it was a nice looking unique belt that fits the time period and that people who don't like it are just not really getting with the times or are too effected by nostalgia. Glad to see someone with the balls to put it high. And I agree that this photo Is evidence. The attitude women's belt being last is very accurate because it is soooo dull and boring. Sad to see the dull, ugly, worn out looking, overrated Big Gold Belt so high... but I expected it. God I hate how people love that boring old thing. Would have put the WCW Us, WWECW v2, and the new tag titles higher. I like unique belts. That.

I don't think it's really the design of the belt people get mad about with Divas Championship, but the fact that it replaced the Women's Championship. Had it been an update for the Women's Championship, I don't think the hate would be so bad.

Anyone who has a different opinion to me is wrong. Sorry, just thought I'd go ahead and fix that into what you were really saying. Maybe some just think the Diva's belt is ugly? It's not always about being blinded by nostalgia.

Haha, didn't mean any offense to anyone. I have VERY strong opinions on the title belts born of being a new fan and not really understanding older school fan's thoughts on the modern day belts. I was very excited to see someone rank the Divas belt a little higher than usual and for the same reasons I would. A lot of the time I see certain opinions that a lot of fans that have been watching a long time believe that I think is born of pure blinded by nostalgia and I'll say so when I think it. I said it with the Rock v Cena feud too. And you know, that's an opinion too. So I'll express it. My opinion is that the source of Diva's Belt hate is nostalgia.

The butterfly belt is a better looking one to the women's championship IMO
The women's title just looked bland.

The thing is, in order to be nostalgic for something, you generally have to have liked it to begin with. There's very little "nostalgia" for the old women's title, because it was always generic as f***. The real reason people hate the Diva's title is because it looks like it was designed by an eight year old.

The Jeff Hardy TNA World Title Divas belt is awful. It's loud, gaudy, and trashy. Like something a prostitute would wear.

Glad to see the Diva's title is relatively high on the list. It's a genuinely attractive, fun and unique design and suits the current brand of female wrestler in WWE. And would serve as a great physical juxtaposition if and when people like Kharma and Beth hold it. It is feminine. And that kind of suits the female division, right?

Implying the Divas belt is 'feminine' is insulting to any woman with a modicum of good taste.

Implying the Divas belt is 'feminine' is insulting to any woman with a modicum of good taste. Taste is subjective. Pink butterflies are feminine, whether you like them or not they are an ostensibly feminine thing. I happen to be a man who likes pink butterflies! You don't have to be a woman to like typically feminine things. It probably should also be mentioned as an aside that I like the 'spinner' belt. Wrestling isn't meant to be subtle and classy in my view. It's meant to be brash and ostentatious. Especially WWE-style wrestling. As much as I love the Attitude era WWF Title or the Big Gold Belt, I will always admire and feel comfortable with title belts that are totally ridiculous. Because that's what wrestling is and why I watch it.

It doesn't need to be, granted. But as it is a belt that is meant to be competed for by females it seems at least logical and understandable that it might be feminine in it's design. Femininity isn't a bad or reductive thing. I would say the only criticism of it that I might accept would be that it is gaudy. But, as I said, I think gaudiness is more than welcome in Pro Wrestling. Tasteful designs are a bit out of place in the world of WWE really.

I can't believe the Euro title and the old tag belts are in the top ten.

I'm amazed that the spinner ws so high, I hate it but not for it's incredibly stupid design, But because it was a character belt that never went away. Imagine if wwe was still using austin's smoking skull belt to this day, It be pretty silly wouldn't it?

I expect the late 80's IC title that guys like the Ultimate Warrior had will be number 1
