Actual Classic IC Title Or Not?

[Dirk Ziggler]

As I was browsing through replica titles I found myself wondering...is the IC title Rhodes is currently carrying the actual Classic Intercontinental Championship. Or is it a remake? The actual classic IC title would have the classic WWF Logo at the top.

So being the genius that I am. I decided to think outside of the box and I googled images of the classic IC title. I was unable to find a clear photo of the logo area. In every image that came up, it was either carefully covered up, or too blurry to tell.

So is the title legit or a remake?


First one to answer correctly gets Pos. Rep and a hand job from Juan.

of course it's a remake

Yeah.

[Dirk Ziggler]

still not exactly clear in that photo Lock Jaw

It's clearly the scratch WWE logo. You don't need a 2000x1200 picture to realize that.

But fuck it, here:

Plus I'm sure the side plates are smaller too.

Good enough?

[Xero]

It's clearly a different belt with some different textures, but it's the same basic design.

I don't understand, though, why there's a huge blob over the WWE logo.

Edit: Oh, wait, I think they're supposed to be little wrestlers doing moves.

It's not a blob it's supposed to be the same image from the original of two wrestlers only the replication of the engraving has been done horrendously.

[Dirk Ziggler]

I"m talking about the logo at the top of the middle plate.

[CSL]

yes, it's the scratch logo. As has been pointed out repeatedly

It's a remodeled version of the classic IC Title, basically. It had a "facelift" of sorts.

Undashing Intercontinental Championship.

[Aguakate]

I wonder how this version of the IC Title would look with black instead of white.

Awesome, I'm sure.

[Dirk Ziggler]

What about the yellow warrior version

The first title, I believe. The one Cody Rhodes has is not even a remake.

[Anybody Thrilla]

Who cares? It's still badass and better than the last one.

[Aguakate]

They made the classic IC Title even better.

If they somehow did the same with the old eagle WWF Title...

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

I liked better when the WWF logo was red in the IC design and they actually called it the Intercontinental Heavyweight Championship.

[Rhaps]

I just quite like that it says "Intercontinental Heavyweight wrestling champion" and not "Intercontinental sports entertainment superstar"
