It's a nice World Heavyweight Championship belt, but it will never be my World Heavyweight Championship. ![](http://i1228.photobucket.com/albums/ee453/folkmojo/p-wwe-world-replica-belt.jpg) * Leave the Memories Alone plays in background* Maybe unpopular opinion, but I never liked how the detail on the WHC was obscured by the fact that it's one single color. If you look at images like the one you posted, it looks great. But whenever it was on TV, the WHC looked kinda dull to me. Not an unpopular opinion at all, or at least it shouldn't be. I would have loved to see a dual-plated version like this one, but it's a nicer belt in general either way.

That reason is why Austin, save for his heel run in 2001, preferred the Smoking Skull. Personally for me, the bigger crime was that THIS guy only had a 3 year shelf life. ![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/26/WWE_Undisputed_Championship_Belt.jpg)

I wish there was a plate behind the logo. I don't like seeing so much of the leather on the main portion of the belt. It looks very cheap.

The one now looks like a shiny toy.

The Big Gold WHC belt is the greatest of all time. A timeless classic that only got relegated to the status it had due to WWEs pettiness over WCW.

I love the current belt, it's the only one I've felt like buying a toy of. I have it on my cardboard Captain Picard for the record.

Just wish they'd fill in the middle.

So, wait, behind the logo is just open space so the leather shows through? I always just assumed it was a painted black metal background. EDIT: I see someone else also commented on this. I swear this was a 1 page thread when I clicked on it.

Without exception the titles have gotten progressively worse since this one. My only criticism of the Winged Eagle belt is it could've been a bit bigger.

All they need is to put the current logo and bam. Perfect belt.

You'd think a guy who lost the rights to use his own logo for like 13 years would be more careful, but nope, just inspired him to make it larger and uglier and put it on more things.

Utterly gorgeous belt. I really don't see any reason why it still isn't used.

I think the belt looks okay, but far from the best design they've ever had. Think it'd be a lot better if not for that big mess of black area behind the logo.
Also, just drop the custom sideplates thing. It throws off the whole look and it seems to be more trouble than it's worth taking the things on and off for brief reigns and having to make sideplates for anyone that might potentially hold the belt at some point.

I remember this being when I totally stopped watching, I know it's a prop and all but to see such a good looking belt be replaced with such a trashy and gimmicky thing was upsetting, Worse ttill long after he lost it they refused to return it back to the previous design.

The current design is a huge improvement over the spinner belt, but nothing can top either one of the three titles with the eagles. My personal favorite is the 2002-2005 design, because it looks larger and just a little more like a "top prize" IMO.
