IWGP Women's Championship belt revealed at today's Stardom show:



That's...pretty bad. The center plate is okay but everything else about the belt makes it look like a toy.

Maybe the worst title belt I've ever seen

it's cool that there are belts that are slightly closer to a real belt in size but i would go even further with it the way old ribboned boxing titles were. that way it looks more prestigious and not "toy-like", because the main reason for that vibe is that it imitates the large titles while being small. the champions have to carry those things around with them and for the most part the champions are not going to be nearly as big as most people reading this. by this i mean the thread discussion. not necessarily me. if you have me on ignore it doesn't change these important factors

The TV belt is so bad it looks like it belongs in WWE

i was thinking of the practicality. but there are a lot of factors at play. i didn't think about how much fewer flights are needed as compared to some other companies. so maybe that lessens the appeal of a toy-like championship. you're right about that much. when i say you're right about something it doesn't mean i think you were wrong about everything else you said either. i'm trying to be clear with my communication these days. misunderstandings cause a large amount of problems

I'd like it so much more if the lettering was centered, the left alignment drives me crazy

Honestly I prefer the new heavyweight title to this

I hadn't seen the TV title though, that's worse for sure

The joke I made in the discord voice call for the debut of the original AEW Women's title holds true here too:

Smh these women doing the same work for 80% of the belt.

I like the call like to Hashimoto's belt: I also don't think you can really judge until you see the thing in action. Doesn't matter how nice it looks if its ultimately not that important, after all.

This is the Korakuen with the IWGP tournament matches right? If so then it’s a case of them prioritising the matches that matter and then going back later to do the rest in order

He spends his free time posting on the WON board and blocking people on the Japanese and English STARDOM Twitter accounts for little to no reason.
