- While it may have only been around for 3 years, the Undisputed/Heritage Title design had quite a few variations. A full rundown on the history of (IMO)the greatest, most prestigious championship in WWF/E history.
Intro Credit: Niall Stenson
This was the last prestigious belt design that WWE came up with. It's like if the big eagle and the big gold belt did a super saiyan fusion dance. It's a shame that it only had a 3 year life span compared to that glorified spinning toy that lasted eight flipping years.
That glorified spinning toy was beautiful and while it certainly didn't look great on everyone, the design by itself is objectively and subjectively beautiful, but everyone's entitled to their own opinion.
Personally I never had an issue with the spinner, but it always did look a bit odd on anyone that wasn’t Cena or Edge in my opinion
Disagree. The NXT: UK titles are some pretty prestigious looking titles to me.
Connor Kenway Agreed, It looked Horrible in Guys like Triple H or other Heavyweight Guys,It looked like a Million Bucks when it was on CM Punk,John Cena,Edge those are the guys who made it look like A Million Bucks.
the spinner belt was amazing
Damn Eddie looked so damn good wearing that wonderful belt. I still miss him rip the legend eddie and rip this wonderful belt.
Honestly this belt was the best championship WWE ever had
Version 2 is how i remember it the most. Love the size of it and how Rock would just carry/drag it around.
Same here man...i like the bigger plates
Dragon! Dragon! Rock the Dragon! Dragon Ball Z!
Og db theme
That rock the dragon intro sold me already
It's over 9000!
As much I love the spinner belt, I admit the undisputed belt is the true version of the WWE Championship.
I loved the undisputed V5 also I would bring that version back in place of the blue belt used currently on smack down.
I own a JMar Undisputed V5 belt and I love it.
Agreed. Soon as Cena lost the Spinner the title should have reverted back to this beauty. The spinner was horrendous.
@@LBastone how'd you get it?
The Shady One I got it from a private collector.
@@LBastone damn it.
I just got the v2 yesterday. It's a beast
Yeah most people’s favourite belt is the Winged Eagle and that was a small ish belt as well. I think the Undisputed looks best with the eagle painted because the two tone pops really well, but yeah the Undisputed V2 is far too big and it almost looks comical at how big it is. I think they should’ve got rid of the Spinner around 3 years in as well, they should’ve given Randy Orton a new title design after he retained the title at Mania 24, imo the Spinner was around for far too long. I really do miss when the belts looked like trophies and not like toys.
I can agree that they should've changed the design of the title when Cena was injured and they put the belt on Orton. After the point where they stopped making it spin was when I felt the title had worn out it's welcome, but calling it a toy and something that doesn't look like a trophy is a gross hyperbole.
@@therighteously8454 honestly they should’ve changed the belt as soon as edge won it
@@threed7 Really should've. The spinner and bling was Cena's gimmick. Passing that title around always felt like gimmick infringement
The spinner belt was John Cena. Period. It was like the Smoking Skull, it was made for Austin. The spinner belt with the spinning logo and “champ” was specific to Cena. I only imagine they kept it so long as they did because it was very expensive and the replicas sold well to kids.
@@therighteously8454 Randy Orton would've looked badass with the undisputed belt
My favorite belt by far, and I LOVE the massive V2!!!
I have an exact replica of the V2 belt I love it bought it in like 2008 for around $450 it’s really huge and I always get compliments lol
Loved this video man thank you for making it 👍🏼
I can't decide as far as my favorite. But in terms of which one I want to return, I want the v4 to come back, because that one being a "smaller" belt, could fit in with these new wrestlers but if bigger wrestlers ever make a return, it wouldn't look bad on them either. Just see the Big Show when he had it. That said, everything checks out, and the Heritage (or as I like to call it, the Heritage Eagle belt) has finally been done justice. Thank you, Hazard F5 for doing my childhood (and others like me) and an underrated era, an underrated belt design, thank you, for doing all of it, justice.
Version 2 was the one. This design will always be the Brock Lesnar belt to me.
DBZ intro! Watching this while holding my recently bought undisputed V2 replica title 🔥🔥🔥🔥 my fav title ever
My gosh its been sooo long since we've had a belt history video! Awesome to see these again
Lol they take a long time to put together.
@@HazardF5 they're worth the wait people don't understand how much time and effort goes into belts but sadly I think the days of belts being updated are gone. WWE seems to be content with having the same belts for years on end. I can't believe the US title is still the same. Going on 17 years with that damn design thats horrible! I just miss the days of nice looking classic belts
Good job on the video, full of history of the Title Belt
So well put together
Very informative video. I always wondered why the replicas were painted black and you answered that question. Appreciate that!
I would love to see a series of videos like this going through each different design of the wwe championship. Awesome job!
Did one several years ago, admittedly it's a little out dated as it was just before the Big logo debuted in 2013
@@HazardF5 Yeah, I watched that back in 2012 when you first made it. What I meant is, I'd love a separate video that goes more in depth on the winged eagle, one that does the big eagle, etc. Anyways, keep making great content!
I actually loved the size of the V2 due to it was sooo se to be the fusion of both WWF and WCW. But like you the V5 was to me an amazing belt Definitely my favorite belt (not counting BG)
This belt is in my top 3 favorite belt designs in wwe. I loved this belt sooo much
This by far is my Favorite design WWE had ever done
This is a hell of a belt it is a beauty brother
Didn’t know the fifth version existed before your video but now I wanna own a v5 haha
Love these videos, thanks for sharing. The Undisputed is also my favourite of the WWF/E world titles. Would you ever consider doing a history video about the ECW titles like the one you did for the TNA ones, and maybe another one covering all NWA domed globe variations?
Thank you. 90% of my history videos are from memory as I noticed the changes as I grew up. I never watched ECW so my knowledge of their belts are extremely limited.
@@HazardF5 That's totally fair!
Great video!!!
Good insight, thank you
Feel free to check out my History of the WWE Title video. This was kind of a trial run for that video
The best belt design wwe ever came up with I have a replica of this belt it’s beautiful
My favorite belt. Wish it could've had a longer life but the Cena happened....sigh
Cena sucked but at the time dude was over especially when he came to raw in 05
@@illkid86 He doesn't suck
@@illkid86 if he sucked he would’ve never been over nor done what he’s done
Awesome videos as always Hazardf5 how about doing a video on the history of the ROH World Championships belts.
.......interesting
A fine belt that was
I've got the replica belt. Miss this one.
I always loved the design, and the belt in general because of what it represented as far as the merger of two different iconic championships.
I just felt that a title that represented something so significant should've been bigger to make that bold statement when the V1 came out.
Such a beautiful belt
One of my favourite belts. Just bought a 'V1.5'. The black paint around the edges in the V2 just made it look like a cheap stamp
EDIT: I have now confirmed that the V1.5 WAS in fact used on TV, I found a HQ photo of Hogan and Taker wearing it.
Nice dragon ball z opening
I love the V1. That's my favorite design. I prefer the smaller size. I think it really works.
Hazard F5, thank you for this in depth review and knowledge of the 'Undisputed' championship title.
I personally wasn't a fan of this title and the undisputed name of the title because it looked a bit like a knockoff of the 'Winged Eagle' belt, however not going to lie that i do like the black and gold look because it looks a bit like the winged eagle belt with the black and gold, but never understood why it was called the undisputed championship until now.
I can now appreciate the undisputed title's history behind it as you thoroughly explained how it all came to be, especially the five different versions of the title which i wouldn't have noticed nor cared for. I kinda of like version 1, version 4, and version 5, they're nice.
Nice in depth review and thank you.
Keep up the great work. Learning about championship titles as i listen to your reviews. Been of fan of wrestling since the late '80s and today, WWF/WWE 4 Life.
My favorite WWF tag team championships are the classic '86-'92, best design of all time. Fandu belts makes them which are very nice and cool, 8mm plates with the quality classic look which makes that tag title even more prestigious.
Ever thought of doing a video with Wrestling Bios? I think with you two on any wrestling topics would be cool.
Nice review.
Great review, HazardF5. Really liked the DBZ cover at the intro too. I know you covered the real belts. But, in terms of replicas, how many replica versions were made (Figs Inc, WWE shop, etc.) and what versions of the real belts did they mimic?
There were 3 technically. In 2002/2003 they released a V1 replica (based on the WWF V1 with a WWE logo, an image of the advert for it can be seen at 4:45) and the giant V2 (based on the actual V2) and last year they re-released the Undisputed on WWE shop, that is also based on the WWF V1 like the original replica BUT the art has been changed and not in a good way.
Great vid
VERSION 2 DA GOAT!
Best belt design the E has ever had. Same it lasted for a cup of coffee and was replaced by the awful Spinner for close to a decade :(
The spinner belt is not awful
The spinner is belt is my favorite.
Wow Hazzard tremendous video and analysis! You just gave this long time belt mark a new appreciation for a belt I always thought was just ok. The version 5 seems to be the perfection of the design and I now wish a high quality replica of it was available. I hate the whole crop of current titles in all the United States based companies. Exceptions being the NXT North American & AEW World titles. I think a reasonable story line to bring this belt back could be done through Paul Heyman and Brock coming out with the version 3 and some story about him being the true champion for... reasons lol. Which could lead to a version 6 (updated version 5) being created to replace big W (as I call it). Then bring in a whole new and different design for the Universal and we’re off to the races for a new era of good belts. I’m hoping AEW hit a home run with the TNT title design very soon here.
Welcome back sir
Lol you make it sound like I was dead
Hazardf5 🤣🤣the dead she rise lol no welcome back to CZcams I ment
@@leonwatkins5072 Jeez my last video was a month ago lol You make it sound like a year XD
Who else is watching this with their undisputed championship?
Your definitely right about the Winged Eagle being smaller then the Reggie Parks IC I own both, also love your pick 4 your favorite title design
I love this belt. It was the second replica I ever owned and one of my favorites. I have say that the Version 1 is probably my favorite. My only nitpick about this belt besides it’s super disappointingly short run was that I hated the inconsistency of the Champions Name Plates. The Font was always different and sometimes looked generic. I remember thinking “that looks so cheap” while Eddy had it. But the actual title itself was remarkable and I absolutely love it. Now seeing the black washed version makes me love it more! Thanks for the video!
This and the Eagle belt from the 90s are my favorite WWF/E designs.
Great video, Awesome belt design, second to the attitude gold belt for me, if only they would bring it back now, any version, do you have all these replicas?
Let me be very clear, I do not own all these belts that I've showed lol They're either ring used or belong to collectors. Some are from person belts I have owned but certainly not all.
It only stayed with us for three years but what truly GLORIOUS 3 years that was! Technically that belt stayed until Judgment Day 2005 as JBL stole it upon Cena introducing the "spinner"-belt, then the Dr. of Thuganomics got it back and it would never be seen again.
Still think that WWE should have brought it back at No Mercy 2007. Whether it's the belt that Orton is awarded by Vince & Regal in the ceremony at the beginning of the PPV or HHH (as the inaugural person to have that championship) reintroduces it for his title match with Umaga.
How have you been? If possible;can you do a review of the NWA United States belt? The Magnum/Nikita/Luger belt?
This is my favorite championship title of them all, this actually looks like a real title belt
Hands down The Best Looking WWE World Heavyweight Championship design my favorite
The BEST looking belt that actually look prestigious
You don't even have to explain your reason for this video. Its 🔥🔥
Nice video @HazardF5 so I just found this belt at a pawn shop and bought it. But I'm not sure what version I have. I can't find anything online on it. It's the Undisputed belt. But the main plate has the WW logo. But says World Wrestling Federation under it. Not Entertainment. And no name tag under Champion. And weights about 10 to 15 lbs. Could you help me figure out what version it is?
Sent me some shots on Facebook or twitter but it sounds like a poorly made bootleg
The real crime was the spinner. Honestly. It was cute for a while, it was then just.... pus. It was an infecion
The real crime was WWE not only using it as the official title instead of Cena's costume belt, but basically using the design for their modern belts but with less gold.
Did anyone nitice after 2007 the spinner wwe title stopped spinning and in 2013 when rock introduced the new title it was spinning again
Yeah, I think when Cena drop his title they came back with this again but nope.
@@TurtleDustin not really
@@NiteHuntRick big logo on plan background with an outline, champion name wrote on bottom.
Awesome video! So my question is which version was the replica that I got in 2002 modeled after? It seems to be a lot like Version 2, but it does not seem to be so overwhelming in size.
If it has a black outline it's the V2. If the plates don't have a black outline it's the V1.
THIS is the best WWE belt ever. What a design. I had to get a replica asap after I could afford it haha
oh hell yeah ！！nice anallys！I think that 2002 undisputed is best WWE ever . and grad to so intelligence your exam！I wanted to long use V1.I add your channel.im looking forward to next episode.i m crazy about belt lomg time lol. bestregard.
Did all versions with logo tooling include the Crafted by J-Mar text, or just the WWF v1-1.5? Can you also comment on any variation of how red paint was used in the scratch logo swooshes on the main and side plates?
Yes, all versions had the jmar text tooling. Red paint was used on all of the WWF/WWE logos on the belts (which is partially why it's not mentioned) although it's harder to make out on the V1 main plate compared to the others as the swoosh art is different to the WWE logo's one.
Hey Hazardf5 how u doin great video... What is that red leather belt @ the top of the pic with the Undisputed Title ???
Top of what pic? What's the time stamp?
Common sir please come often I miss you
In My opinion, the most beautiful belt ever made, with the big Gold belt.
Are there actual pics or videos of the v1 with the f in the wwf logo painted over?
No high quality ones
Rock the Dragon! Hell yeah!
I am wondering if you have any information on the WWE shops Undisputed Championship Deluxe Replica Title Belt? The WWE shop states that the deluxe belt comes on top grain leather, with ten Swarovski Crystals, if so, that would save me having to re-leather, and re-stoning the cheaper belt. Thank you for any help you can give me!
Avoid. Their belts have NEVER has proper leather apar from the Authenic TV Big Logo belts that cost 5K made by Wildcat. Save money and but the standard replica and have it restoned and releathered. You'll save yourself hundreds
@@HazardF5 Thank You
You're right, that was a very clean belt design. Very aesthetically pleasing.
I ❤ the V1 Undisputed Title !!! I wish they still had it instead of these lame ass WWE logo belts, talk about a step down in quality. Still it is 1 of the best looking belt ever made , in my top 5 along with The Winged Eagle,The Big Gold, IWGP 🌎 Heavyweight Title, & AEW 🌎 Title Belt IMO.
Always thought this belt looked like a tag team belt instead a world championship
The best belt and era and a shame it turned into spinner belt permanently.
Only one of the many things Cena ruined. The spinning belt remaining for years and years, even when he was not the champion was such a shame. This belt looked really cool
Somebody knows the name of the original Beltmaker that made this desing or who desing this belt
Thanks
Its a hybrid of the classic IC belt and classic WORLD TAG TEAM belt.
And now WWE shop have dropped a new Eddie Guerrero themed Undisputed replica!
Which version of the Undisputed is the one that they had on the WWE shop? Thanks
The V2 that debuted at Vengeance 2002
@@HazardF5 Thanks for the quick reply
In it's 4 years, it's been held by Triple H, Chris Jericho, The Rock, Undertaker, Brock Lesnar, Kurt Angle, Eddie Gurero, JBL
Do you know if the V1 tooling along the edges of the strap say "WWF" or "WWF champion" on TV? It's hard to tell watching old videos.
It said champion under the logos
My 3rd favorite wrestling belt of all time.
My second favorite belt design for the WWE title. I either forgot that they had a larger version for a time but yeah, to me my main complaint was that it was small.
Do you know that exact date that the early 90s wCw TV title (Austin, Johnny b badd, Regal, Steamboat, Larry zbyszko) debuted on TV? I can't find it anywhere???
I'm not too familiar with the belt as I wasn't watching wrestling when it debuted. I'd have to research it
Love the intro music #DBZ
Favourite childhood intro for my favourite childhood belt
You get a like simply for using "Rock the Dragon" for the intro
I've always wondered if the Kurt Angle belt that Bishoff had was from Kurt's personal collection.
I know a lot of wrestlers buy belts from JMAR as trophy items.
They probably told him to bring it to TV for the storyline.
There's a photo out there of Rhonda Rousey with the rock's undisputed belt and it's almost identical in size and tooling to that belt Bischoff was holding.
It's crazy cause I never remember HHH having that Belt I think I started watching Westling when it was exclusive to SD so this is pretty cool
Hf5 I was wondering if you had any youth sized strapped championship belts for sale?
Btw, the V4 size and shape is so similar to the Reggie IC can you imagine how great if they were both used at the same time!
No, I've never had any kid sized belts
@@HazardF5
Ok thanks. I remember they used to be so easy to find you cannot find a single authentic authentic kids size belt anywhere now
Just an idea if your looking for content Hazard. Do a video on each major company. WWE-F, NXT, TNA-Impact, ROH and which others you know a lot about their belts. Wherein you take a look at all the variants of their various championships quickly and put together their Best belt set based on the historically available variants. For example NXT I’d revert back to the OG NXT men’s and Woman’s belts and keep the current North American and tags. ROH OG pure, Sinclair takeover era world, v2 tv, current tags and OG six men and WOh. It’d be interesting to see what you feel each companies Best Of set would be.
Kind of like V2 but this will always be my favorite WWE title & really wish they bring it back. I don't know why I never noticed the Big Gold background on it.
This belt is weird, they changed it so many times for some reason, still one of the best designs
Although I had fond memories of the Big Gold and Winged Eagle, the WWE undisputed Title was the best World title variant.
love versions 1
This belt was the LAST WWF belt and the 1st WWE belt at the same time
I like V2 remind's me of the WCW World Heavyweight Championship in size.
The winged eagle will always beat this belt as being the best design ever
Hazardf5, have you ever done a video on the Hogan 85' silver belt?
I've touched on it but not exclusively done a review on it.
Never realised how many version there was
The Belt of Jericho!
Just a request, any chance you can do one on the United States built? I want to see the very very minor changes that have occurred since it was brought back almost 18 years ago
Did one a couple of years back
Hazardf5 Can you come in to Link Ford? I’m trying to find it
