IYO is the rock the last hope for
 
getting rid of that hideous WWE title belt? i was excited when punk claimed the first thing he was going to do was get rid of the ugly thing and never happened. so is the rock our last shot at getting it replaced?

my thought is rock is a shoe in to beat punk for the belt at RR and cena to win the rumble setting up cena to win the title at wm. but with Cena being the one who started that abortion of a custom belt might the rock carry a new one for a couple months? her e is hoping?

sarcastic responses go now

i don't think it's gonna change for a while yet

It's nobody but Vince McMahon's decision

Supreme Olajuwon 01-09-2013 02:15 PM

is it really that bad, guys? i mean really? it's been years now.

feel like the same people who can't get over Cena not turning heel are the same people who can't get over the belt

it's not that big a deal

Schlomey 01-09-2013 02:20 PM

No. It's really not a big deal...in fact I can't see it even as a small deal.

Now how do people feel about the giant penny tag titles?

Shadrick 01-09-2013 02:23 PM

To answer the question, Yes.

NormanSmiley 01-09-2013 02:37 PM

a big deal , no? but nothing we post about is.

and has nothign to do with cena as heel or face, if you are over the age of 7 and think that belt is cool you likely have mild retardation. it looks like a joke comapred to the world title.

James Steele 01-10-2013 02:17 AM

I've "accepted it", but it looked stupid 7 years ago and still looks stupid today.

James Steele 01-10-2013 02:21 AM

I can't see Shawn Michaels WrestleMania XII "The boyhood dream has come true..." moment with him collapsing and crying over winning the spinner belt.

It's a fucking belt. Get over it.

Gertie, you know this is srs bsns

Bad News Gertner 01-10-2013 02:35 AM

It's the reason why CM Punk can't draw ratings: the belt is bad

SlickyTrickyDamon 01-10-2013 02:37 AM

Cena can't draw ratings.

Keith 01-10-2013 02:39 AM

At least the title doesn't spin anymore.

Bad News Gertner 01-10-2013 02:40 AM

He's the only one on the roster who does

SlickyTrickyDamon 01-10-2013 02:53 AM

All Cena does to stay on top of WWE is sell merchandise. Merch ain't ratings. Punk outsold him last year that's probably why they turned him heel because he was a threatening Cena's top spot as money earner.

Bad News Gertner 01-10-2013 03:04 AM

You are SORELY mistaken. Cena is by FAR the biggest draw in the company. If that weren't the case than why hasn't Punk headlined more ppv's during his title reign than Cena?

Fignuts 01-10-2013 03:04 AM

As much as I hate the current belt the images that surfaced of that supposed new belt were even worse.

Shisen Kopf 01-10-2013 07:47 AM

Guys, it's not the belt that is hurting the ratings. It's the belt strap. They need to change the color of the strap. A nice yellow strap would be better and it matches Punk's shirt. This is the WWE not some nickel and dime, or for you Brits; not a 5p and 10p, backyard trampoline bouncy bouncy fed. No, this is serious business. Change the strap! Change the strap!

People seem to forget his first 6 months of his reign was not in the main event.

Bad News Gertner 01-10-2013 08:46 AM

Laurenitis vs Cena main evented over Punk. If that doesn't show how big a draw Punk is than I don't know what to tell you.

Ruien 01-10-2013 08:47 AM

I really hope Sticky was being sarcastic. There is no way there are more hardcore, vinilla midget loving, fanboys out there to compete with full families coming out to events or watching on television.

Conspiracy theories.

drave 01-10-2013 12:26 PM

It'll change over time, just as most belts do, but the title isn't what's important anymore anyway now is it.

As Schomey stated it is way better than the lolpennytagteam belts. It's like they took some giant pennies and put them through those hand-crank souvenir machines you find in various tourist traps / amusement parks.

Emperor Smeat 01-10-2013 01:47 PM

Probably won't see a new belt until the WWE starts a new era considering there has been rumors of a new belt ever since Miz was the champion a few years ago.

If Rock were to bring out a new belt, more likely it would just be the long lost Brahma Bull belt than an actual new belt.

Flash Funk 01-10-2013 05:05 PM

The current tag titles are the worst!

That would satisfy most of the smarks, since it's from the Attitude Era and therefore not new and scary.

Seriously? I love the constant tug-of-war between "Vince only cares about money" and "Vince will shoot himself in the foot financially to make sure his favorite guy is on top."

They turned Punk heel because they needed a strong one and there was nobody else. Not because Vince was like "THEIR IZ NO CHANC IN HEL NEBODY WIL OUTSEL MAH BOY CEENA."
