The Undisputed Title belt is severely under appreciated

[The Summer of Muskrat XVII]

Seriously, that belt never gets the love it deserves. I’m talking the one Hunter got after X-8 that lasted until the spinner became the official belt. It’s a damn good looking belt, I definitely prefer it to the Attitude Era belt. For the various belts that have represented the WWF/WWE Championship I would peg this one 2 behind the Winged Eagle. Big Gold is still my favourite belt ever, the OG one not the WWE version, but the undisputed is an absolutely gorgeous belt. I was very disappointed when the spinner replaced it, I was really hoping it would come back at some point but that ship has sailed

I do like this belt a lot. It did feel oddly short-lived.

Yeah, it was only around for a little over 3 years I think. Raw after Mania 2002- Summer 2005? I honestly don’t remember how long after Cena won the belt that he introduced the spinner. He might have had it before getting drafted to Raw, I genuinely can’t remember. I wasn’t watching as hardcore at this point in time. Too cheap to buy cable in the first year I moved out, but it was definitely before I bought my first home when I actually did spring for an HD DVR cable box. Which was not cheap in 2005

Didn't HHH just get handed the WCW belt or am I mixing up reigns?

[Facetious]

It's still one of my favorite belt designs. Lesnar, Angle, Trips, Taker, Hogan all looked great holding it.

The first ever WHC reign he did.

I really liked it and would use it in the video games when they included it.

Still my favourite world title belt design

[noobeast]

I've always seen this belt get a lot of love, but I don't get it.

Like, I don't think it's ugly or anything, but it's just very plain looking to me, especially compared to the titles that were combined to create it. Or the Winged Eagle, especially.

Looking at the belt now...it somehow seems to be plain yet somehow overly busy.

[Mid-Carder]

I wasn't keen at the time but compared to literally every world title that's followed, it was really nice.

[The Thread Barbi]

I don't remember where exactly but Taker said the Undisputed Title was one beautiful belt and one of his favourite designs.

This. Compared to the spinner and the current "Big WWE Logo" design, the Undisputed title is gorgeous.

[Mighty Attack Tribble]

Not my favourite, but it was the last world championship that didn't look like shit.

[CMWaters]

Having had replicas of both it and the Attitude Era title before, I did love this guy. It should have stayed more than it was, even if its life-span was about the same as the Attitude Era version (only one year less, really).

Most people at the time this came out hated it though BECAUSE it replaced the Attitude Era design.

[sdoyle7798]

The eagle belt will always be number 1 (this is not subjective people... ), but the Undisputed is probably the last good looking original world title belt design they had besides.

In this scenario, I'm not counting Big Gold, since it's basically a ripoff of the WCW World Title, and this not original to WWE in my mind.

Just looking at that belt has nu metal music playing in my head.

The first ever WHC reign he did.

For context, H got the World Heavyweight/Big Gold title after Smackdown claimed Brock (the then-Undisputed Champion at the time -- Sept. 2002) as an exclusive, which led to Raw bringing Big Gold back for their world title.

The Big Gold wasn't even WCW's at first, it was the NWA World Title. The Big Gold was so awesome that it represented 4 different World Championships.

I miss the Big Gold.

[Instant Classic]

It was a good title, I always think of Brock and Eddie when I look at this title.

That’s what made me start the thread, re-watching Eddie vs Brock
