And by the way, while we're on the topic, not even the NWA Belt can claim to be raced back to 1904 with Hackenschmidt. I realize WWE doesn't give a flying fuck about history, and they expect fans to forget about things within 2 months, but rewriting history, an honorable history at that, and one that they had nothing to do with, and still to this day have no legal rights to is fucking bullshit.

For the record, the NWA World Championship is traced back to 1940...and even going that far back is a bit of a stretch.
I agree. I feel bad arguing with this, because this is one of your tastes I can agree with. The Big Gold Belt does have ties to the old NWA, though, so when talking about the actual history of the belt, I think some mention should be made. They have no right to talk about the history like they own it, though. If the want to bring up the history of the NWA, they should do it as the NWA recognises it.

On a related note, it pisses me off that the WWE only recognises about six of Ric Flair's NWA Title reigns, whereas the NWA recognises ten. Seeing as the NWA sanction their own fucking belts, they should be the ones who say how many times Flair won their Championship.

So I don't really have a problem with the WWE tying the physical belt to the NWA, but the existence of the big gold belt only goes back to 1986. That is where it should end for the WWE. Belts and titles should be completely separate aspects of a Championship. Just like Kurt Angle cannot claim to actually hold a title descended from the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship, just because he holds the belt; The Great Khali can not say he is a part of the same history as the NWA Title holders.
