Just please don't make the WWE World Championship Blue....

Now that you said it... Watch it happen. Vince... for the love of all things wrestling... Don't do it!!

And I may be alone here, but I still don't care much for the look of the 4 belts (men's and women's) looking so similar. There should at least be some minor difference between the brands.. other then, well, color.

I liked the WWE World Heavyweight Title design and I think their idea is along the lines of UFC where a lot of their belts look the same. I personally like the base design, but maybe when they introduced the brand equivalents of the belts, they could have broke away from the regular design or changed more than the colours to make them their own.

That is what I am saying. I guess they figure the custom plates and name is enough.. Like when it switches hands each wrassler has their own. I am fine with that bit but I wish there was still some sort of variation between Raw and Smackdown.

One thing I felt was a missed opportunity from the start when The Rock introduced the first generation of the new WWE Championship was that behind the WWE logo is a bit bare. When they updated the belt with the new logo, I would have loved if they added a design behind the WWE logo like a lined globe. You know, this.

Like that in gold would have made the belt pop.

That would have looked nice actually. And it would signify it as being its own title. I think that is the problem here... Other than color, they all look like they are the same and there is no level of prestige between them. I get they want them all to appear equal (those for belts) but we all know it means more to hold a title on Raw than it does on SmackDown. That is how it has been for years, even when they had the brand split the first time... And it is funny too because SmackDown gets better ratings and for most, is considered the better show.

Hey, personally, I think if they wanted the Universal Title to be different but the same-ish, maybe having it on a black strap would have been the better choice.

This, sure it is very similar to the World title, but that would have been sweet, or if they filled the middle with gold?

They are better looking than the Pennies, but I'm more neutral to the change.

For some reason, that looks a lot better to me than the one they have now. It just pops more. And the tag tittles are fine with what they did, silver is much better than gold (well bronze)... I would have actually liked to see that as well. Have the WHW belt be silver instead of gold... but I guess gold shows prestige. Mehhhhh

I botched so many things in the post... I hope no one seen that... saw that... urm...

I like them too. When they were unveiled it didn't seem like the crowd liked it that much.

Well...yes you do...I personally like the Universal title...and I'd gladly buy a replica if
I could afford it...

So...apart from the fact the immature crowd in Brooklyn acted like a bunch of fucking
idiots and ignored a fantastic match to say the belt sucks...tell me exactly why you think
the belt sucks?

And repeatedly typing "CM PUNK!" over and over again is not a valid answer...
