New WWE Championship Design Revealed

Re: *** Spoiler *** Mainly to do with ending of RAW

For god's sake. We might have the old IC Championship Title Design but we can't have all the new designs be replaced by the old ones. We need to move forward. We can't be stuck at one place let alone go back.

New belt doesn't look good.

they wasted a golden opportunity not having CM Punk throw Cena's Wigger Spinner in a wood chipper and cut a promo about changing the status quo in the WWE back in 2011 after MITB. Probably one of the biggest misses of an opportunity in WWE history that I can think of.

Looks awful IMO. Big Logo's on products normally do. Nobody likes brand ownership.

Moving forward is fine, just expecting better looking titles.

Is it the elder fans fault that the current fan has no taste?

Nice, simple, traditional. Looks good on Rock as well, might look even better on Cena.

Again I said I prefer the undisputed title to this. But I also said I wanted something new that perhaps resembled the attitude era belt. The newer belts look like toys. This WWE belt, the NXT belt, the NXT Tag belts all the newest designs of the last year and they all look childish. I didn't say I wanted those old belts brought back, I said I wanted something more traditional looking. Something that actually looked like a wrestling championship belt and not a prop.

This is why WWE chose The Rock to debut the new WWE title design. He is at the GI Joe premiere in Korea and he showed up with the title on his arm. Great publicity for the company and for the title. Presumably he will bring it to Sydney as well for the premiere tomorrow night.

This is exactly why Rock is Champion in the first place. He can draw the media attention that nobody else could,

At least the damn thing actually looks like a championship belt now. That's the one thing you have to admit even if you don't approve of the design. The spinner belt looked like a goddamned toy and was unquestionably the most awful design that championship ever suffered through. This belt is an upgrade any way you slice it.

The hard black background did admittedly irk me at first. I think if they just filled that in with gold, no one would have a problem with it's design.

I really don't see what the big idea is with it not having a nameplate. The winged eagle and Attitude era belts didn't have one either. Complaining about something that insignificant is just grasping at straws and searching for something to hate about it.

Nice arguement there that Rock deserves to be Champion because he can parade around with the belt at movie premiers in countries that most Americans would laugh at.

I could careless how the belt actually looks since people change their mind on everything in wrestling daily. It's too hard to take most of you seriously anymore. It's a fine design, I'll leave it at that.

WWE really missed the boat by not paying for one Super Bowl commercial with Rock as champion.
Nothing fancy, just have Rock stand in a empty arena holding the belt on the turnbuckle and then camera pans out to the Wrestlemania logo. Considering how awful other commercials were this would create a lasting image in almost everyone who watched the show.

 

[Deezy]

Didn't I make this point before the Rumble? Rock showing up on Leno and Letterman with the WWE belt would do more for them than CM punk not being on anything?

Superbowl commercial would've been a good idea, but wouldn't that cost them an arm and leg to get them a spot?

 

[Franco]

3.8 million for 30 seconds and over 100 million people watching.
If not that, they could've at least paid Got Milk or any other commercial that featured the Rock to place a sticker or text "WWE Champion The Rock" for a few seconds when the commercial showed him.

My post made no mention on if he deserved to be champion, my point was that this shows why the belt was revealed with him as champion rather than Punk. WWE would have know long in advance that The Rock would pick up the title so they would have held off revealing it until he won the title. This is going to bring in so much more exposure and revenue from the title and WWE is a business so this is a smart move.


Would have been a good idea to run a Superbowl commercial, expensive but it would have paid off in the end.
