Best/Worst Looking Championship Belt

Recommended Posts

Best: Heavyweight Belt (Circa 88-98), IC belt (Circa 86-98), World Heavyweight Title, Tag Team belts (Circa 85-02), NWA heavyweight title

 

Worst: IC belt ( Circa 80-83 & 84-85), Heavyweight Belt (Circa 82-84),

When WCW used the Western States Heritage belt as the heavyweight title when flair left for the wwe and took the gold belt with him.

I'm trying to remember...what was teh deal with the Western States belt in the late '80s? I remember Barry Windham and I think Larry Z. holding it. What was the point of it? WCW already had a few single belts by that point.

It was the UWF's secondary title. Windham won the belt in a tournament on June 20th 1987 in Houston. I'm assuming the decision to create a secondary belt came before the merger with the NWA, and by the time the tournament came about, the merger was a done deal.

I assume women's belts are out, as the WWF Women's Title belt has had a long history of incredibly ugly variations.

 

Some ugly ones:

NWA US Tag Title Belts

NWA U.S Title Belt

NWA World TV Title Belt -- also National Title Belt, which is basically the same thing

Anybody prefer the new Raw Big Gold with the WWE logo and bigger sideplates over the old WCW one?

I'm guessing I'm the only person here who thinks the current Women's belt looks quite nice?

 

Personally, I don't like World Heavyweight Title much. The nicest-looking titles, in my opinion are these ones:

And my personal favourite:

I always thought that the WCW Cruiserweight Tag Team titles were pretty ugly, way to shiny and kinda plain

I hate Championship belts that has a different color strap to it like red, blue or yellow.

 

The Ultimate Warrior's yellow strap IC belt was so horrid looking.

The pink strapped belt was even worse. When they change the belt strap color to match his attire, it just looks silly.

My LEAST favorite:

What's ironic to me is that this belt looks better than the NWA title in ways. It looks more updated and it's "bigger".

Notice how this TV belt looks just like the old WWF belt that Hogan use to have.

Actually, the story goes that Hulk Hogan had the WWE title made to look like his title from Rocky III (like this); the NWA followed suit with the National/TV title design.

On a sidenote, for fans of replica belts, would you rather have a smaller kid sized belt for less money, or an adult sized belt that costs more?
