Worst Looking Belt Tourney --- WWE's ECW Title vs. GFW's NexGen Title
- Thread starter 2CT
- Start date
GFW was around for about 3 years before they merged with TNA.
I think they did maybe 2 live shows and then they did a shyt load of TV tapings but Jarrett didn't have anywhere to air them because he hadn't secured a TV deal with anyone.
Safe to say there is a library of tapes not released?
Once they merged with TNA they started airing them as specials on whatever app TNA was a part of back then.
I guess Jarrett still has ownership of the GFW stuff he could shop around if anyone wanted it.

Slime green on a belt automatically makes it the WOAT

What went on up there? Poppers and weird sex!
That GFW belt is worse just because of the lime green. Looks like a championship that Ben 10 would wear. 
Honestly, WWE never treated the ECW Championship like a world championship. Nobody ever chose to go after it when they won the Royal Rumble, it was only defended at WrestleMania once (in an eight-second match where the #1 contender was determined in a battle royal right before the show), it was left off multiple pay-per-views. It only existed because of the ECW brand, which was never taken seriously, either.
I remember in 2010 when they had the ECW Homecoming to determine who would challenge Christian at the Royal Rumble. I thought it was a great idea. They could have had Christian go against anybody they wanted. For once, make people care about the ECW title. And they gave it to Ezekiel Jackson.
ECW title isn't bad
it just shouldn't be a World Title

When Mark Henry was facing Randy Orton, they talked about how he was never able to win the big one. Nobody remembered him holding the ECW Championship for three months.

And it was never even acknowledged as illegal.
When Jack Swagger was ECW Champion, they left him off the WrestleMania XXV card. Not even a damn non-title match.

Not only the concept of the ECW title was all wrong (I don't know at that point what was ECW supposed to be either), but its proportions were wack too. That front plate was too fukking big, and not in a good way like the Big Gold Belt.
But yeah, the GFW belts belong in a Nickelodeon wrestling league
Honestly, if the front plate were smaller and had a different shape (oh, and it wasn't called the ECW Championship), it would be fine. As it is, I definitely don't like it, but I also don't hate it either.
That GFW belt, though...my goodness. It might win the whole damn tournament. @2 Cold Taurus is gonna have to pull out a real piece of shyt to top this one.

I actually didn't mind the WWECW title. It was different (though I think making it silver instead of gold was intentional to show that ECW was second rate), I did like the color scheme, but thought it should've been bigger.
The GFW title was a disgrace. That lime green was awful.
