I'm sorry those who disagree but where I come from, a World Championship isn't some rinky dink little belt. To me size matters, and the Winged Eagle just looked like a crappy television title at best. Then again I guess any opinions on the matter will be covered in nostalgia; I was born in '91 and starting at age 3 watched WCW with Big Gold from about '94 until '98 when I switched to WWF. So to me Big Gold and Big Eagle represented a Big Star

It is a good design, but like you said, yeah, it is kinda small.

My only real issue with the larger winged eagle is that it was too round. I dug the wings and WWF logo sticking out a bit with the original. Give me the former's size and the latter's shape and I think it'd be perfect.

My defense of it would be that its design is both simple and dynamic. It has a character to it that strongly appeals to me. It's also the world title that I grew up knowing and loving.

It's more the sentiment behind the title, than the actual title it self.

I can't sell you. I always liked "Big Eagle" the best.

I just think it's the coolest looking belt they've ever had.

I've never really got the love for the Large Eagle. Too round, too flat, and not very defined (design, not lineage obviously). Thus, I have a soft spot for the Winged Eagle which, although it wasn't all that big, it was a serious looking title. Same with my favorite, the Undisputed Title.

It gets no love from me. I think it's only better than Iron Sheik's green belt in WWE's history.

It's more the sentiment behind the title, than the actual title it self. This. To me...it's the same belt that Randy Savage, Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, Bret Hart, Undertaker, Shawn Michaels and Stone Cold all won. Why wouldn't you want the belt that all those legends had around their waist? It's like playing baseball with Babe Ruth's bat.

Yeah, I prefer the large eagle myself.

To me the big round eagle belt is the most prestigious looking belt the WWE has ever had. I love it

I always liked the short lived dual plated version.

I love both eagle designs. Hate the big gold belt. It's big but has no character or definition. It's big and gold and blah.

I've never like the shape of any of the larger belts. Big gold has grown on me but it's funny shapped and bland, while the Big Eagle is to round and hard to make out anything on.

Big Eagle is my favorite belt of all time.
It's so gorgeous.
