WWE Belt
 
I'm watchign the The Bash right now and the current WWE Championship belt has got to go. It`s horrible looking. Only fit for John Cena, and for anybody else its a pile of garbage. Randy Orton looks ridiculous with it.

LoDownM 08-03-2009 03:22 AM

He's just keeping it warm for Cena, that's why they don't change it.

Mr. JL 08-03-2009 03:38 AM

Still, it is a mad ugly belt. A far stretch from the Eagle Belt they used to have. Even the ``Attitude`` Era belt and ``Undisputed`` Belt look way more presitigious. It looks like a kids belt. I can`t take it seriously at all. It`s pretty sad when the ``WCW`` style looking belt looks more like a REAL Championship than the WWE Belt.

Even looked less Lampoonish.

PG belt for a PG show [/thread]

Mr. JL 08-03-2009 04:17 AM

Yeah, but its only a PG show when it`s convenient to say so...

Afterlife 08-03-2009 04:23 AM

If it doesn't spin, it's not pandering to Cena. So why not stylize it to be not hideous?

St. Jimmy 08-03-2009 04:30 AM

okay, ANY of these look better than the current. Insane:

Well...I wouldn't agree with that....

NoRoolz 08-03-2009 05:58 AM

Yeah the current WWE title is absolutely ridiculous. Can't wait for someone to destroy it, could see someone like Jericho doing it (if he's ever in the title picture again).

Nicky Fives 08-03-2009 06:05 AM

at least the fucking thing doesn't spin any more.....

kareru 08-03-2009 06:05 AM

does anyone else think that the 'cena' belt kind of looks like a morpher from the original power rangers?

Cool King 08-03-2009 06:35 AM

I remember reading somewhere that the reason the WWE Championship looks the way is does is because it's suppose to reflect "Pop Culture" so to speak.

Like it has all it's "Bling" and it's square-ish design to it, so it looks all modern-ish and whatnot and "Champ" on the front of the belt instead of "Championship" and the left side plate previously had "Mon Nite" instead of "Monday Night" on it due to shortening of words and text speak that have grown more popular and more widely accepted in society and all that crap.

But I personally hate the design of the current WWE Championship. I've said it since the design was unveiled but it just looks like 50 Cent threw up on a strap of leather.

But I doubt the design is going to change anytime soon. I think we might have to put up with the current design for about another 5 years or so. Purely guessing.

do you remember the wwf hardcore title, i always used to worry when the wrestlers would get hit in the face with that, the corners are pretty sharp

NoRoolz 08-03-2009 07:21 AM

Why would you worry? Thought you'd have liked it?

Too extreme?

Pardeep 619 08-03-2009 07:42 AM

Little random fact: The current WWE Championship belt has been around longer than the Attitude era style WWE Championship.

I am so sick to fucking death of hearing this. A) Cena is a top man in the company, so of course he will be champion again one day, but more importantly B) He hasn't even worn that belt in almost THREE GOD DAMN YEARS. So shut the bloody hell up about it already.

The Jayman 08-03-2009 10:50 AM

bring back the "Rated R" belt

Xero 08-03-2009 12:17 PM

The belt sucks. It's fine for Cena, but almost anyone else it just doesn't work. It only looks good on one person other than Cena.

Hi MC. :wave:

Sixx 08-03-2009 12:29 PM

Aww, fuck the belt. Let'em roll with smiley-face stickers and diplommas.

DAMN iNATOR 08-03-2009 12:32 PM

Anybody remember THIS eyesore?:

And I think that was back in the days when the centerpiece still spun, too. UGH! :n::n: to that design.

At least it was customized. If they did that for all the title holders they would not only make more sense but they'd sell a shit load more merch, too. Really don't understand why they haven't really. It can't be harder than modifying the belt itself so it's easily interchangeable with plates. I'm assuming that the Rated R belt was a separate belt.

Well, I'm assuming that what you mean by a "separate belt" you mean a different centerpiece for the existing spinner belt in use, did I get that right?

But I kind of disagree with the fact of having a different, customized belt for each new champion that comes along, especially with how quickly the main belts have been changing recently...A.) You'd have to think of a design that conveys the person's persona to a "T", and B.) Doing such for every new superstar, I can only imagine, would cost a shitload of money, that I'm not sure Vince's cheap self would be willing to shell out every 3 weeks or 2 months or whatever.

Xero 08-03-2009 05:17 PM

No, I meant I'm assuming they made a completely new belt instead of switching out the center plate.

Every wrestler at the top level has a logo. There you go. And yeah, it would cost a shitload, but they'd also be able to sell every design they make. At the very least all faces should get a custom center piece.

Anybody Thrilla 08-03-2009 06:01 PM

I think a unique belt for each champion would be sweet as shit. It's entirely ridiculous that everybody's wearing Cena's flare.

James Steele 08-03-2009 06:58 PM

The Rated R belt fit Edge's character though.

Anybody Thrilla 08-03-2009 07:17 PM

Yeah DAMN iNATOR, what the fuck is wrong with you, you fucking prick???

Mr. Nerfect 08-04-2009 10:20 AM

This thread is making me pretty sad. Facts like the current design being around for like four years, and Cena not having held it for two are depressing. Well, I'd rather not see Cena with the title, but it makes me feel a little old.

I'd love to see a new design for the WWE Championship. I think WrestleMania XXV would have been a great place to debut it. Why not Summerslam now?

After Orton drops Cena at Summerslam he comes out on Raw the next night and debuts and new belt

XCaliber 08-04-2009 01:51 PM

Think they're afraid that if it were a heel escpecially were to somehow banish it they would make them even more over with the non kiddie Cena fans. Personally i'd like to see the previous belt simply replace it again and pretend the Spinner belt never existed quite frankly. Jeff Hardy was probably the only other person than Cena that looked right with it for some reason and even then it was a stretch.

The Jayman 08-04-2009 01:53 PM

Just like the US Title spinner belt. gone and forgotten

Yeah, see, now that design I actually liked, as I believe it was fitting for Cena...I understand how some people will say Edge's Rated R Championship was fitting for him as well, but I just thought they didn't really put a whole ton of originality into the centerpiece design. I mean, yeah, granted they didn't do that with Cena's custom U.S. belt design either, but I would probably have kept it around, just scrub the "Word Life" from the design, and it would be awesome looking.

http://img.inkfrog.com/pix/Wrestling...lt_Cena_US.JPG
I mean look at it...it seriously puts the classic WWE U.S. Championship desing to shame with all the (can't tell if it's real or fake, but whatever) bling, and the centerpiece design with the U.S. Flags on either side...I don't know about anyone else, but to me that right there just SCREAMS "pizzazz".:cool:
