If it was bigger, I'd like it more.
Despite having the Big Eagle (AKA the Attitude Belt), my favorite design for some reason is the Undisputed Belt (the one post Big Eagle and Pre-current)

In response to the OP. It looks wayyyy more legit than you're saying and to be honest, who cares who has the biggest and flashiest belt? what matters to me is what they do in the ring, but I am a sucker for the WHC  .  |

I'd never even considered it a "small" belt until I read people on here say it. When I was a kid I never thought it looked small on big guys Hogan or Diesel or whoever. Best belt ever.

I've never really got the love for the Large Eagle. Too round, too flat, and not very defined (design, not lineage obviously). Agreed, I could never tell what was actually on the belt. As far as I knew someone had made a giant penny and gone at it with a hacksaw. |

I'm sorry to say that I also found the Winged Eagle to be a bit too small. This was perfect for me in terms of size:  |

This was perfect for me in terms of size: To me it looked too much like the World Tag Team Championship belts. Obviously not in terms of detail, but when guys were wearing them and moving I found them too similar.  |

Aside from the prestige of if being worn by the biggest names and icons in our sport
Hogan, Flair, Bret, HBK, Savage, Austin, Warrior etc.
..it also looks like some care went into the design. Other world title belts can be accused of being just 'a crapload of gold' I think the big-eagled belt and also the WHC suffers from this. I think a lot of the detail and intricacy on the latter belt is always lost on account of the fact you cannot really see it. It just looks all gold. I like belts to have a bit more definition to them. Or else what's the point in having any design at all.
Besides the winged-eagle belt, as well as representing the bigger stars, also represented the bigger company.

I had a reply that was along these lines, but shit...I don't dare now. Not after that. Just allow me to say: What you said times a thousand. It's a beautiful belt. Second to none. My Top 5, in order: 1: Winged Eagle 2: WCW US Title (What I call the Rick Rude belt) 3: Undisputed Title 4: WCW World Title(Not the BIG GOLD BELT, the one that was made when Flair took the BGB to WWF) 5: The Shawn Michaels WWF IC title belt |

I guess ignoring the size issue that I'm clearly biased in, I'd say my issue with the Winged Eagle is that it is what it is; an eagle. That's it. The whole belt is an eagle. People keep talking about how great of a design it is and I don't see it. I see an eagle with its wings poking up next to the world. IMO, Big Eagle took that concept and made it better.  While it's true that the eagle is less distinguishable, I don't consider that such a bad thing. I will also agree that the Undisputed design is very nice. |

Speaking of undisputed. I found this amazing dual plated version which looks insane.  |

Undisputed Title is perfect.
- Great size and shape.
- Black on gold (Blue on gold looks awful)
- Has the eagle.
- Has a nameplate.

What's with the tag belts these days? They just look like an old dusty piece of brass. It's terrible. Moreover, all the belts look decidedly less shiny than they once were. Like a dull metal now rather than the reflective kind. As if they're that worried giving anything of value to any of the talent even for TV that they instead give them the cheap $100 replicas you can get off ebay
