Someone should dig through match results and figure out who the Lineal WWE Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Champion currently is. Could be fun and you might get a cultural ambassador job offer from MBS.

If you subscribe to the only-TV-counts theory, it's kind of murky:
Owens beats Braun at Extreme Rules
Braun wins it back at Summerslam
Brock beats Braun at Crown Jewel
Seth wins it from Brock at Wrestlemania
Brock wins it back at Extreme Rules
Seth wins it back at Summerslam
Bray beats Seth at Crown Jewel 2019
Goldberg beats Bray at Super Showdown 2020
Braun beats Goldberg at Wrestlemania Pandemic Edition

So it comes down to how you grade the WYATT FAMILY SWAMP FIGHT, if that was a match and Bray won then it's Bray, if not it's Braun but the title is very damp.

But you should count house shows, because that's way funnier:
Kevin Owens won it off Braun Strowman in their cage match at Extreme Rules, 7/15/2018
Bray Wyatt wins it off Kevin Owens at a house show, 7/28/2018
Bobby Roode pinned Bray Wyatt at a house show, 9/1/2018
Ascension Konnor pinned Bobby Roode on Monday Night Raw, 10/1/2018

Konnor defended the belt once against Rhyno on Main Event two weeks later and has not had a singles match in the going on two years since, so he is the reigning, undefeated international crime champion.

If we're posting the hardcore belt



Did the actual thing have the tape with "WWF" written on it? all the pictures show it but I honestly don't know/remember if the real thing had it

I liked the hardcore belt looking like this. It fit the belt and the stories around it.

i.e It was a bullshit made up thing that the corporation gave to Mankind to keep him happy, and as such was just an old smashed belt gaffer tapped together. But as it grew into a proper title, (of sorts), that was legitimately fought over, its bashed up look suited the hardcore/garbage can wrestling in it's matches.

I mostly agree, but the brief period where they gave it to RVD and pushed it as a legit belt (Van Dam lost it to the Undertaker, of all people) it looked a little weird, not the least of which being because RVD having the belt was basically so he could do his normal match plus his chair spots, not a bunch of wacky trash can lid and crowd brawling spots.

Looking through these belts I think one of the factors that makes a belt good/lame is how much it would hurt to be smacked by it. Alot of these bad belts look like they're made out of construction paper and glitter and the better ones have a thick, heavy and chunky look to them.

Same, kinda. I think the design is technically not bad and I liked it initially. Then I saw how it looked in photos and on TV and it's completely flat and drowned out to the point you can't really tell what it is. Someone should've caught that ahead of time.

I’d like to present belts from my country, the mystical Finland! We have, well, one really, but also a joint Nordic thingy.

The Frank Andersson Nordic Championship (formerly Valhalla Nordic Championship) belt looks pretty good in this promo photo of the current champion, the Finnish Stark Adder.



I also don’t dislike the basic concept. However, the middle plate is actually paper thin and it makes the thing look unfortunately super cheap when you see it in real life.

The one actually Finnish championship belt we have is the FCF Finnish Heavyweight Championship. Thankfully, it’s a nice one!



Here being worn by the current champion Ioni. Since it’s pretty much 100% gold plated (or whatever, I don’t know how belts are made) with engravings it sometimes looks a bit plain, especially in certain kinds of lighting, but it really is pretty up close and personal. It’s thick and big and looks heavy and expensive, like a proper championship should. Well done :)

Edit: oh hey found a photo of the two side by side

The then-champion Martivo customized the PWR All Out War belt (their hardcore title, basically). When someone finally won it off him the new champion (not this guy, I just picked the best photo of the belt) tore out the customizations, it was heartbreaking.

that second one is actually pretty nice especially as an individual trophy/award. i do like that we're trending towards people getting belts that are cool and fun to display as opposed to trophies that are fall hazards and just break when dad has a bad night and there isn't any more Pabst Blue Ribbon in the fridge
