We dodged a bullet

[Vice]

Some potential designs for the new WWE title belt were put up on WWE.com today.

Very happy they went with the one they did. 'Cause.. uh..

...yeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah....

Just wow. Click the link for some sketches and other stuff. And discuss how lucky we are.

[Rip]

I'm going to sue, pretty sure my three year old made that last one.

[Vice]

They could turn the middle design into a wristwatch.

[Atty]

I'd ask if Vince was a fucking retard, but I already know the answer...


...retards are much smarter than him.

[kangus]

Don't lie, the Hogan belt would be awesome. The champ could even come out to Real American.

Vince didn't design them, why the stab at him?

[Zacharie]

I was expecting there to be at least one where I thought 'why didn't they go with that?' but nope.

I think the 10th one-- the one with the chains-- is the worst. And the flames one... wow.

An eagle belt would've been cool, but not the way they did it in that picture above. Feathers on the strap wtf....

I actually would have REALLY DUG this one. Everything else was fucking terrible. But that EAGLE DESIGN IS IMMENSE! Plus, it's a bit of a throwback.

[mth]

I really like the eagle one. It's badass. The rest are total crap.

[Vice]

I'm really not too fond of the eagle one as it currently is. It's the best of the bunch, but I think the main plate is too stretched out. It'd be a very skinny looking belt unless it was just huge overall. And while the featheryness could look kind of cool, I think it'd look pretty tacky and also bland without the gold side bits.

[Hero!]

I like the McDreamcatcher belt the best.

[Psycho666Soldier]

The eagle belt with the plate being smaller, yet the wings extending off perhaps a bit shorter, would be epic as hell. Also, drop the feathers on the side. BUT THEY SHOULD HAVE STUCK WITH THE CONCEPT, DAMMIT!!

[Mark Hammer]

The red one is hideous.

[mth]

Yeah, the eagle's not perfect but with a bit of reworking, it could be a really awesome belt. The potential is absolutely there. Maybe if they redesign another title later on? The US Title could work with a big-ass eagle on it.

I sort of quite like that, it could have looked fantastic

Chain chain chain
Chain of fools

[Atty]

Eagle is clearly the best of the bunch, but they should just make a title that doesn't look like a crappy knock of a toy. Fucking GoBot title is what it is.

[Mark Hammer]

I agree that the eagle version looks better than the others but it still needs work as it, like all the others, reeks of children's toy. Which may have been the point.

I've always been a belt mark and I actually like this one a lot.

[turdpower]

They could turn the middle design into a wristwatch.

Or use that design and a template for the US title, mash them together and TADAH.

[Mark Hammer]

I'd rather the US Title be retired than re-designed.

[Psycho666Soldier]

I'd rather the US Title be retired than re-designed.

Just let Antonio re-dub it the European Championship already and start with a clean slate! We need to keep a solid low-to-midcard belt to the IC's mid-to-upper midcard status.

[Mark Hammer]

That's actually not a bad idea. I just feel that there are too many titles and it takes away the "importance" of holding one of the more established titles.

But a European title re-vamp might be worth a try.

[Psycho666Soldier]

I agree with that, but that's why what we really need is to have the two World Titles unified. The brand split is ABSOLUTELY irrelevant. You can fight for whatever title you want. Have only one guy on top so the IC title can take some of the WHC's former shine, making the WWE Title seem IMMENSELY important.

Then, you have the European Championship as the belt they can kind of have fun with and test out younger stars with. Allows weaker mic guys a chance at some spotlight to see if they'd actually pull something off when given the shot. If they fail, you get the belt off of them and move on. If they do well(like in Cesaro's case), you push it as far as you can/need/want until he drops it to someone else to make a new star...or flop to pass to the next star.

Screw you all, it's a 3 minute Photoshop job.

But I think that looks a lot better, minus the bottom of the plate being a bit pointy. I don't feel like making it better though. Laziness FTW.

[virms]

It would have been even greater if the eagle itself projected from the title all 3d like.

Thing of the damage the beaj could do. Shawn really would have lost an eye.

[OD50]

Suddenly I feel the current WWE title is a piece of art..

Wtf are they thinking..

[Bluegunn]

I just like how they got rid of the name plate and put logos on the ends of the title. Can't wait for DB to win it so it becomes the No No title.
