It's just one more thing in a long line of dumb shyt from WWE. There is just way too much empty space on the belt. A championship belt should look prestigious. Outside of the I.C belt they all look like they were designed to sell toys.
Let's talk about the WWE World Heavyweight Championship belt.

As a kid I was getting my mum to buy me all of those toy belts. Hell I even had the Hardcore toy beltToys are gonna sell regardless. I had loads of figures too and they weren't all Rock/Austin I had a Bob Holly - Kids will buy them whatever.
How legit does that IWGP belt look though

EXACTLY, and, breh, here's the difference. The current WWE title looks like a belt. Right now, it's just a belt for a show. If you win it, you'll have it for a while and eventually hot-shot it over to someone else, but it's not something you'd be as compelled to frame on your mantle compared to IWGP title. Why?
...because IWGP title looks like a fukking CHAMPIONSHIP. It looks like you had to go through some shyt to get it. It has a bunch of name-plates on it
All of the name-plates on it has to have a guy thinking, "Wow...my name's going to be on that thing FOREVER. All of that hard work and they respect my shyt enough to have me in such rare company." :lupegarvey: :wowwow:

i'd take the old WCW World Heavyweight Championship belt over the current WWE one 
Good ol' marketing. Just plaster the WWE logo all over it and nothing else.

That belt is stunning. Yeah, you're right man. It reminds me of when my football (soccer) team would win a cup (either a league or tournament) and you would have all of the teams on their engraved from the previous years, made winning it even sweeter knowing you'd be carved up in there for that year.

I like the new title as well as the Big Gold Belt. But I took some time off from watching wrestling from 02-09 when I came back this was the Ship

At first I just didn't like that design cause it didn't live up to past designs, but now I just hate it cause it represents the (ongoing)
era of WWEAt first I just didn't like that design cause it didn't live up to past designs, but now I just hate it cause it represents the (ongoing)
This era though it has some bright spots (Rollins, Ambrose, Cesaro) is no better than that era. Although this era it seems is more becuz of the booking and decision making backstage. There is some great talent right now but there's a failure on higher ups to get behind that talent and let it truly shine.

The way I see it, this was on track to be a new era but it has reverted to 2009-2010 levels of lame.
Really, when this whole era is looked back on it will be seen as one long John Cena era that had some bright spots.
I was already turned off by WWE but after everything Punk said I'm even less inclined to want to watch cause it doesn't sound like the type of environment that's gonna produce anything cool on purpose.
I agree it seems like Vince only wants to produce what entertains him and whatever has entertained the masses just slipped thru the cracks.

To me, my board!
The Intercontinental Championship is the only current belt I dig.

Change is inevitable...
I'd love to talk about it but I haven't seen it in forever...where is it again?

Right!
WWE sees all the athletes and sometimes actors and media figures buying belts whenever they win something and I guarantee that's why they made the WWE logo front and center. Why you think they RUSHED to get LeBron a belt? LeBron was thinking of the old school, WCW belt when he requested one for the Heat after he saw LeSean McCoy wearing it. But WWE made sure they gave him the new belt because they wanted the WWE logo for all to see when LeBron and the Heat took pictures and wore them.
The entertainment figures and athletes will always opt for the classic WCW belt though. They're going to pick the more discreet championship belt over the belt with a huge WWE logo on it.
