No more "spinner" belt?

[Juan]

WWE officials have discussed ceasing the "Spinner" belt as a result of The Miz becoming champion, reports the Wrestling Globe Newsletter. A newly designed belt has been ready since late last year.

Tortilla.

[Razzamajazz]

good

[VSG]

Awesome news, but please let it be gold only.

[El Fangel]

Awesome news, but please let it be gold only.

[MoFo]

Dunno, I like the spinner belt since it stopped actually spinning.

[Xero]

Fucking finally.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

AWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSOOOOOOOOOOOOME!

[BizarroKing]

I heard it's gonna be Silver.

[VSG]

Where did you hear that?

[Jura]

I will challenge anyone for that title.

[DLVH84]

FINALLY!!! The only thing I hope for is that it doesn't look shitty like the Divas title and the Tag Team titles.

[Jordan]

This is good news

[specialk]

probably just the belt they plan on using once they unify the WHC and WWE titles. wouldn't count on it too quickly

[Theo Dious]

How about, that isn't happening, jerkass.

[Tom Guycott]

It's gonna look like Jeff Harvey's belt, only with that train-front face thing Miz has on his trunks. And, since Miz stopped wearing the black and purple outlined attire, it's gonna be red and silver.

The Smoking Miz belt.

[Tom Guycott]

I will challenge anyone for that title.

I TAKE WHAT I WANT! AND AFTER XERO, AND TAZZ DAN, I WANT THE GOLD SUCKA! JURA, I'M COMIN' FOR YOU NIGGA!

[Rammsteinmad]

I'm as worried as I am excited.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Yeah, while I would rejoice over the spinner belt being retired, the WWE has had some bad moves with titles recently. The new WWE Tag Team Titles don't really bother me, but did some people. They definitely could have been better. Then they went with the Divas Title over the Women's Title. Why? I don't fucking know. Oh, and they have had the spinner belt for the last, I dunno, five fucking years!

Basically, the WWE have been going with different rather than good recently. But I hope that they've gone back to tradition with this new belt. Might as well start off 2011 and a new decade with it.

[Mr. C]

The spinner doesn’t even spin anymore, but I hate the belt. The one that JBL last wore is where it’s at, fools!

[muffalufagus]

Thank goodness.

[Cool King]

Wow, I was just mentioning that last night during Raw.

The more I see The WWE Championship on The Miz's shoulder, the more I think that the design of the belt needs to change.

I'm lovin' it.

[dhellova guy]

Since it doesnt spin anymore, the only thing I dont like about it is that it says "Champ" instead of "Champion" on it. Other then that, I have no problem with it, but I also have no problem with them changing it either.

[whiteyford]

I can picture the Miz with that McDonalds belt now, and its a huge improvement on the non spinning spinner belt.

[Xero]

That McDonald's belt's base belt is the old IC title.

[jskinnyg]

Fucking finally.

FUCKING FINALLY IS RIGHT!!!!!!!! I have been waiting for a decent belt ever since the spinner SHIT was out... We need a true classic looking belt... Gotta be some kind of tradition around here!

[Tom Guycott]

They should have every TNA champ have their own custom belt. RVD with pot plants on the plates.Angle gets red white and blue,Joe's could have a krispy creme donut that spins.

or instead...

http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_On-GoQYWwdg/S7V7WNgLMaI/AAAAAAAABFM/vWLh8X_fhe4/s1600/wwe-mcdonalds-championship.jpg

For bridging that gap, you're welcome.

And I still want a title shot. If I were a wrestler, I'd rock that shit to the ring... FTW belt style. Maybe even get some sort of Mickey D's endorsement. Imagine Edge with a Slim Jim belt... then again, he'd likely have to win it from Mach, and Vince likely won't let that happen.

Who made this title and for what purpose was it used for? Guess San Francisco is gonna be pissed they banned Happy Meals :rofl:

[erickman]

lets see if they can make a belt worse then the jeff hardy belt.

[BigDaddyCool]

Nathan's Mustard Yellow Belt is way cooler than the McDonalds one.

[thedamndest]

I hope they make an angle with someone destroying it or something rather than it just showing up.

[XL]

I've wanted rid of the current WWE Title for the longest time...but it does suit The Miz.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Hold up, is this really TNA's top title?

http://images4.fanpop.com/image/photos/16800000/New-TNA-World-Title-jeff-hardy-16899991-600-268.jpg

[thedamndest]

The King Tut championship

[thedamndest]

Why is Jeff Hardy's face on the side? Are they going to change it for everyone?

[VSG]

Its their version of Austin's flaming skulls championship belt. When Hardy loses, the old belt will magically return. But this only shows that Hardy will be champ for a loooong time.

[MoFo]

I hope its a bronze or silver one so everyone is PISSED.

[XL]

Because the title was designed for him, maybe?

till he goes to jail

[VSG]

I have given up that thought long ago, he clearly has a very good lawyer. It has been around 10 months since he was first arrested and yet there he is, in TNA.

Edit: Did the 20 min free change interval disappear?

[parkmania]

IF Miz gets a new belt, I can't see it being "traditional-looking". Miz's whole promo last night was about how the old regime never gave him credit for anything - why would he want a belt that reminds people of them?

[Xero]

I feel that the spinner signifies everything that is Cena. Having Miz destroy it and bringing out any other title will be great and make sense.

I don't see him getting a custom belt, though.

[James Steele]

I hope they do it JBL_style and blow it up in a trashcan.

[Jeritron]

Maybe they're waiting until they decide about a possible unification before they adopt a new title.
If they explore that option in 2011, like rumored, they'd want a new belt to take over once the current ones are merged. No sense in bringing out the new one now if they're just going to have to create another shortly after.

Nah, it looks like some kind of midcard title to me. It's all the rhinestones that make it look like a lower-tier belt. Face it, the TPWW Golden Arches Championship is where it's at!

[MIZantine Empire]

Hold up, is this really TNA's top title?

prob been said before, but looks way to much like the divas title, lol

[Volare]

I just hope Jeff Hardy doesn't buy into the "Immortal" too much. But then again it's probably gone to his head so he thinks he can do whatever and it won't kill him.

[Londoner]

About fucking goddamn time.

was half the reason why ratings were down tbh

Jeffy Harvey is such a hack.

[Mooияakeя™]

Fucking best news since Monday. Epic stuff.

[The Naitch]

Up close, this belt doesn't look that bad. From far, it looks like a big glob of gold (even bronze looking) and lacks detail since it's only one color

Looks like a huge penny on a strap rather than a championship belt.

[James Steele]

The spartan helmet thing is just too corny for me, personally. Why can't they just do a normal fucking belt?

US Title - looks like shit
WWE Title - looks like shit
Divas Title - looks like shit
Tag Titles - looks like shit

The WCW US title looks pretty good, but it'll never look as good as this:

[Fox]

I would love to see the John Cena WWE title go away. The thing is an eyesore and simply isn't a good representation of the "best in the business" title. Personally, I'm partial to this one coming back:

Just as long as that ugly wCw logo is not on the belt!

[Xerzes]

Please, oh please. No more ugly damn spinner belt.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Let's go back to basics:

* The belt should be gold.

* Put an eagle on it. All the WWE championships have had an eagle on them, I guess (and that includes the shitty spinner). I wouldn't mind it if the eagle was silver, or something like that, if they wanted to change things up.

* There should be something symbolising the world on it. The WWE Champion is meant to be a World Champion, so that makes sense.

* The belt should be symmetrical. That's one thing that annoys me about the current design. Symmetry is representative of beauty, and a title belt should be beautiful.

* The belt should have the word "Champion" on it.

It seems like such a simple thing, but I do suspect that at least one of those things will be out.

Personally, I would not mind it if the WWE changed a few of their belts around. On the RAW side of things, anyway. We've had the same US Title for eight years now, and it's still pretty ugly. It'd be nice if it returned to some state of glory.

[Fox]

Just out of curiosity, aside from the "swish" mark beneath the WWE logo, what about the current belt ISN'T symmetrical?

fixed

[Jeritron]

If a new belt exists I'm pretty suprised it hasn't leaked in some fashion. The fact that no images of it would hit the internet sort of hints to me that it's not going to show up that soon.
You would imagine the design would go through Mattel so that it could be prepared for toys in advance. They're not going to want a new title debuting on the product and then have to wait months before they can cash in on it.

Or maybe they're just really good at keeping a lid on it. Or maybe I'm talking out my ass.

If the Diva's title was designed by someone on a bad trip....

(Yes, I know the Diva title comment has been made)

till he goes to jail

Or just gets high and "forgets" to get on the plane to the show.

[Mr. Nerfect]

Just out of curiosity, aside from the "swish" mark beneath the WWE logo, what about the current belt ISN'T symmetrical?

The completely different panels on either side. I know other designs have done similar things in the past; but it just doesn't work for me.

I hope it’s designed something like that. Just replace the crown at the top with the WWE logo.

I don't see him getting a custom belt, though.

I totally agree.

[Mr. Nerfect]

The chances of the belt containing the word "wrestling" are very low.

[The Naitch]

The only reason they kept the Cena spinner belt was for merchandise. Prior to that, you would never see that many people in the crowd with belts (sure there would be that one fat nerd who shelled $700 for a replica). Nobody was waving their freshly bought eagle winged belt (Bret hart era) or big round gold Attitude belt.

Plus the spinner belt was resized for kids. Hell, I even went to the grocery store to see the Cena spinner belt in the toys aisle. It goes for $19.99. They even had the WHC and ECW Title. Hell I was even thinking about buying one. You would've never seen that with the other belts.

Though I do agree that it's for merchandising, this is a load of shit for two reasons.

1. You didn't see AS MANY, but there were CERTAINLY people with replicas throughout the crowd prior to the spinner. And the foam ones, too.

2. Before the spinner the titles were more expensive and were more rare. You could only order them from the magazines or online. Now they're sold at shows.

Also, my supermarket sells the IC, old school tag and WHC. I have actually not seen the spinner.

ALSO, all the replicas (not counting the toy belts) come in kid sizes, and have for a long time. Pre-spinner I believe.

I like the WWE one way better. The WCW looks too generic and reminds me of Goldberg, Bret Hart and WCW. The WWE one looks more modernized, aside from the fact that it is a bit too small.

[ooTin]

They are really trying to push hardy and the TNA majority (little goth girls) love him because he is "dark and tormented" or some shit like that..... idk either way its a gay title. WWE need to redesign the WWE championship so its not 3D... should just be flat like that World Title.

kids just love the spinner belt. It's hard to resist not wanting to buy one. Pretty sure they'd rather have mom buy them the spinner belt than the replica Undisputed foam belt. There was no spinner belt in your store because it was probably all sold out :y:

[erickman]

yeah it gives the kids something to do, during the boring matches thats why it lasted so long.

[parkmania]

They also just brought out that "talking" spinner belt a couple months ago, so don't look for a new belt this year.

It plays John Cena's, Triple H's, MVPs, Rey Mysterio's and Batista's theme songs. It also displays a sort of "No Mercy" like GIF of their enterance video in the screen.

It should be on clearance now due to Batista and MVP being involved in it. Heh MVP the WWE Champion!!!

Thats exactly the belt I was thinking up in my mind that they would use...except maybe perhaps on a real belt the persons name will be flashing instead instead of just multiple entrance videos...

Personally I want to see them go back and do something old school related with the belt. No more spinner...or bright designs...

I was always a fan of the old eagle belt myself...

[The Naitch]

what? Did someone actually use that as their official belt (similar to what Edge did with his "Rated R" in the middle)

Or is that just a toy?

[Juan]

toy

[DLVH84]

I love this.

http://www.lordofthebelt.com/101_0237.JPG

I hope it’s designed something like that. Just replace the crown at the top with the WWE logo.

That design with the WWE logo on top would make sense, if they unify the two World titles. I would go for that one.

[Droford]

Miz needs to smash Cena over the head with the belt and bust it into 1,000 pieces.

[The Naitch]

That design with the WWE logo on top would make sense, if they unify the two World titles. I would go for that one.

just looks too generic and plain to me. It would suit a backyard or indy fed, but not WWE

[The Naitch]

But then again, shit usually grows after seeing it so often. At first I didn't like the Cena spinner belt. Now I'm used to it. Mainly because it looks original atleast. So does the WWE US Title. I like the bold red white and blue.

[Dirk Ziggler]

Remember this hunk of shit? Whoever has been in-charge of designing these title belts lately needs to be fired.


http://www.davemillicanbelts.com/Large11/051607/TNA/World/TNA_World_028.JPG
Now say what you will about the gay Jeff Hardy Belt. But I honestly think that this belt has a pretty nice design. I would like to see something more like this. And not the traditional Round or Squared designs....Who wants to put money on Jeff Hardy was the one who designed the Jeff Hardy Belt?
