Hall has always been one of those guys that because of the average stature of pro-wrestlers in the 80's-early 90's I never thought he was that big but HOLY poo poo this picture.

Is he legit 6'7?

I'm going to assume you're referring to the Word Life US Title, because the Undisputed Belt is a thing of beauty.

That's an actual belt they used? But it says 'Word Life' on it and everything...

Anyway here are some photos of hottest WWE diva, Aksana:

"Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?"
Back in the days of yore, when Dan Severn was the NWA champion (and at the time time, had like 15 different UFC belts), I went to an indy show that he was performing at. Dude was super friendly and would sign drat near anything you put in front of him and pose for a ton of photos. I got to hold the NWA title, and I can confirm it's one of the most awesome title belts of all time.

Can't stand it either. It looked so terribly out of date in the '80s, not to mention now. Don't like the Undisputed either. It's just too drab and boring. Add some color to it, and it might be passable.

The undisputed belt looks like poo poo, it's too drab. The spinner and new big logo belt look bad too.

What I'm saying is, go back to the winged eagle.



Hell yeah. (I'm aware of the earlier versions, this is just the one I like the most)

You know how early in Undertaker's career, he was really protected, didn't actually have to do much in the ring, and didn't have to speak, at all? That was Sting at the height of his popularity.

Then he went to TNA and did a Joker gimmick where he stole lines from Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight and Jim Carrey in The Mask and repeated them verbatim. He did this about as skillfully as you could expect from a guy who had peaked by standing around ominously without speaking.

Well, I'm sorry but I have a soft spot for Sting. I was a goth kid and he was the Crow. Brandon Lee wasn't the Crow because he died, Vincent Perez wasn't the Crow because he sucked, so Sting was the Crow. I've seen SOME of his TNA stuff, but I did avoid his Joker Mask Madman gimmick - maybe I was protecting myself.

This is an easier way to see the comparison between the new IC belt, and the "transitional" version.

The spinner belt is the gaudiest, tackiest, cheap-rear end chunky piece of poo poo belt I've ever seen. Thankfully I wasn't around for it.

Was the R-star actually a new plate, or was it just a sticker? I could never tell but it always looked like a sticker to me.

gently caress you. It was different from the rest and I thought it looked like class. The X Division title just makes me roll my eyes with that big dumb red X in the middle.

EDIT: Just saw the new one. Slightly less dumb than the NWATNA one or the TNA one but still pretty jank.

I always hated the Undisputed and the oval IC and the spinner belt. The current WWE belt is okay, I guess. But I agree with the person that said the winged eagle is the best. That thing just screams prestige, along with the big gold belt being classy as gently caress.

I don't think it's true, but I always loved the rumor that the Hardcore belt was the WWF Heavyweight title that Mr. Perfect smashed that one time after he stole it.

That clip is also 80s as gently caress, btw.

It was a new plate.

On the subject of ugly belts, almost every self-commissioned "legacy" belt could be nominated. Jeff Hardy's, Hurricane Helms', Shannon Moore's, etc.






The Blue Demon Jr. belt isn't too bad though.

I'd like to think it was the FIRST self-commissioned belt - pretty sure Vince gave the go-ahead, I think DiBiase had the idea for the belt and they went with it (I could be wrong though). I honestly hadn't ever seen any wrestlers before Million Dollar Man that had a custom championship made for them, then it kinda took off later, especially after Cena made his custom US title with his rapper gimmick.
