Not as bad as the Hardy one at least.

EHHHH.

Awful looking. Suits the joke of a company it's in though.

All because they couldn't clean the powder out of the last one.

Better than that Deception GLAAD rally decoration Hardy had.

yeah it don't look that bad, i thought he was going to use the belt ey had. i forgot what did it look like?

Yeah, I don't see what the problem was with the TNA World belt before Jeff Hardy's.

There was no need to change it in the first place but thank god they got rid of Jeffs belt. For once they've used some common sense.

the "TNA" logo should be in red......but I guess that would make too much sense..... better than Jeff Hardy's abortion.....

Kind of "Big Gold Belt" like but not bad.

Dunno why the background is the only thing in gold but looks pretty at this stage. Not bad at all.

Its aight

Just like TNA then!

Atleast they're honest....

the funny thing is it goes with stings outfit

Shiny belt goes with the shiny jacket.

I guess they couldnt use the perfectly fine old belt which is only like 3 years old then?

The first design was better.

Anything would be better than the Hardy belt. But yeah, not great, but not terrible. The old title was better.

it needs red in the tna logo. The style isnt bad but its too bad that this belt would rank under the divas championship.

Would have looked better as a traditional gold plate style, instead of what looks like an attempt at the gotti WWE Championship.

When did John Lithgow come to TNA, and why is he wearing Flair's bathrobe and makeup?

I wonder how much all those cubic zirconium cost for the belt. $50?

I say the belt looks great. A lot better than the last piece of shit belt.

why?

i really like it, it looks great. i have no problem with metal being a metallic color.

Sting looks like the Frankenstrat

Looks better than the spinner belt and not as good as the Big Gold Belt.

Which is probably what TNA had in mind, the belt fits with their champion's persona. I figure that was the reasoning behind Austin's, Cena's, and Hardy's custom belts. I think it's definitely a step up from their previous belt, and may even outshine the one EY is seen carrying around.

On that note: when I first saw Sting on impact my thoughts immediately went to Kamen Rider Kiva's Emperor Form, which I don't see as a bad thing, but I think that's due to me being a fan of the series.

The economy of the situation is even more staggering when you find out that the plates are actually chocolate wrapped in foil.

EXCELLENT!!!

I guess they made this belt just because they "Changed" their logo? Wat.

It is a big improvement over the Immortal belt and a bit better than most of the belts TNA has and a few WWE belts. Only problem is how the lack of red or something to fill in the words makes it look like an unfinished etching job.

I'm not a big fan of the bedazzled sideplates.

Yes. Cheap looking. Just generic gold explosion and blah lettering. Likely designed merely to sell replicas to fans. Problem is, if they threw it in a pile of toy replicas, looks like they'd accidentially sell it. It's like something you'd find in the Dollar General toy aisle along with the not-quite Barbie cars and those fake G.I. Joes where you can only move their arms.

Also, I think I put my finger on what's missing... who's the TNA TOTAL NON-STOP ACTION HEAVYWEIGHT CHAMPION? That's right, people... THERE'S NO NAMEPLATE!!!

Hell, even Taz's FTW belt had a damn nameplate. Hardy's was arguably intentional, since it's "his" belt, but this...?

However, it seems there is a slight method to the madness. If they popped this belt out before, everyone would be like "yuck, this sucks". Now, it's all "at least it's better than Hardy's".

Its a belt, it looks ok, and it takes some association with Jeff away given the old belt was his. Is this a Sting belt or just the belt?

We'll find that out once Sting loses the belt and drops out of the title scene.

I can put my finger on what I don't like about it.

- It's too small.
- The faceplate design and coloration just looks like plastic.
- The leather area surrounding the faceplate, just seems too wide and something is odd about the large stitching.


The combination of those three things just makes it look really cheap and toy-like.
It's not awful, but it's not a world title of a "major" promotion. I don't know what was wrong with the one before Jeff's.
That one was pretty damn good. I liked it a lot aside from the size. If they wanted to get a new belt, they should have just brought back the exact same one and scaled it up a bit.

Who is the bullfighter fellow holding it in the top picture? I don't follow bullfighting.


OLE!
