The WHC (Big Gold Belt) Was simply a thing of beauty it made any and every champ look like a champion.
Totally agree very masculine
I agree
Cee Tee it really did
And made every other title/title holder look like 2nd place
Even David Arquette?
WWE needs to redesign all their belts
They're all the same W logo, it sucks
Michael Marvisya I agree but to be fair the spinner belts were actually shit so the belts we have now just seemed better
Mark E. Memes yea it’s a beautiful belt and the wwe title should look similar but sadly Vince is not that creative and just longs for simplicity
No the nxt titles are great (except the tag)
That's because Vince doesn't control NXT
Not the nxt ones
@@gabeaddisonmusic have u seen the NXT uk championship
It's the best looking belt in wwe currently
And dont tell me that the north American championship is a bad looking title
The big gold belt was always my favorite. I love the winged eagle belt but the big gold just screamed I’m the man
Amen. That belt looked awesome as all hell, and it was credible when used as a weapon because of it.
I completely agree.
If i ever become ridiculously wealthy, I would commission one made real gold and gems.
big gold belt always looked boring to me but it has aged nicely but the winged eagle is pure iconic and legendary
How about the big eagle attitude era belt
The IWGP Heavyweight Championship, that is one of the best belts ever.
Very true
One the most beautiful titles in pro wrestling history
Nah, the hardcore title, that was beautiful.
Of course a anime weeb would say that cause it's from Japan lol.
@@moosebear6372 Wow, if you ever watched an IWGP Heavyweight Championship match, you would understand why it is one of the most prestigious championship titles in history. The championship being in Japan has nothing to do with the match quality. You can't honestly sit here and tell me that the IWGP Heavyweight Championship is not one of the most beautiful and important titles in pro wrestling history.
The Million Dollar Belt and the Eco Friendly Belt have no place on this list
Yeah the million dollar belt is one of the ugliest belt i've ever seen
I almost turned it off when they put the eco on the list. And although I appreciate the MDB, they could have chosen two others that are definitely deserving.
Yes they do they were cooooooooooooool
Dylan the bi guy LOL
@@strokeraceventura2550 heheh its true
Attitude era belt. Njpw world heavyweight championship. C'mon son
Yesssss that IWGP strap! 🙌
They should let the champion pick which historic one they hold so it says something about the character and gives everyone a chance to see their favorite version.
@@stanstockton544 that's a dope idea.
Just my opinion, but I don't really like the iwgp heavyweight championship that gorgeous. I think it's a bit too much.
@@Jcsj_ fair enough
The AEW belt design is well crafted and has personality. It's manly, elegant, opulent and original. It looks like a professional sport belt, not a commercial toy as WWE printed all its belts recently. And it actually looks very good on its first champion, Chris Jericho. It suits him, it gives him even more prestige than he already has. Overall, an excellent choice for its design and first champion!
8ve never watched an AEW match in my life, but I'm contemplating buying a replica of that belt. What a thing of beauty.
Why does the other belt have to be bad for the one you like to be good?
Lies again? Dallas Bull S**t
For me the Big Gold Belt (The WCW/NWA/WWE World Heavyweight Championship Belt) is the best looking title ever in Pro Wrestling. When someone has that championship belt, it made the titleholder look money and larger than life. It gives that champion a legit feel and prestigious.
The current IWGP Heavyweight and Intercontinental Titles are my current favorites. I also love the NXT North American Title and the NXT UK Tag Titles.
@@AlwaysHungryAlwaysThirsty I know. Thank you, brother!
Agreed on the North American title. Also the NXT UK title too. They feel the closest to the older belts WWE used to have
I dont really find njpw championships that beautiful. The only one I really like is the us championship, and to an extent the intercontinental championship. I dont find the heavyweight championship that good. I feel the same as the aew championship, its growing on me but it's not as gorgeous as most ppl.
I agree with you on the NXT UK Tag Titles. I was about to comment that myself when I saw yours.
I actually own a ring used IWGP heavyweight it’s amazing and beautiful
The 1st WWE Undisputed Title or the "Eddie Guerrero Title" looked like a belt a champion would wear.
I call that the Brock Lesnar title.
Alvin Vivian I think of JBL when I see that belt
bry tmz same
Which for some stupid reason was replaced by the incredibly terrible spinner belt.
I bought the replica Undisputed Title belt, and it is ENORMOUS! Even bigger than the BGB, and it's beautiful. Really does make you feel like a real champion.
Personally feel TNA’s Heavy Weight belt from 2013 should be on this list🤭
I just made a comment on that. This guy left out a LOT of belts bout inclued a LOT of WWE belts lol.
TNA or Impact has nice belts fr
It should be here over two belts mentioned here, agreed
Moose had the best TNA Heavyweight Championship design by far and away
For real
I’d say that and the original tag team belts from TNA
1. “The Big Gold Belt”
2. WWF IC Belt
3. Winged Eagle
4. WCW United States Belt
5. ECW World Heavyweight Belt (1998-2006)
6. TNA World Tag Team Belt (Original Version)
7. ECW World Tag Team Belt (1998-2001)
8. WCW World Tag Team Belt (1997-2001)
9. NWA World Tag Team Belt
10. TNA Legends Championship
Honorable Mentions:
Smoking Skull Belt
WCW World TV Belt (1996-2000)
NXT UK Tag Team Belt
WWF European Belt
Yeah this is a PERFECT belt list!
Add aew tittle
At 2 instead of ic
>no IWGP HW title
Jeff Bayard D-
Idk if it was just me but i like the lucha underground belt
NJPW iwgp world heavyweight champion look good according to me
The US too
was going to say this myself
I want that title. 😍
Honestly idk how it wasn’t in there I think it’s better than that ghc title for sure
And intercontinental
'10 Most Beautiful Belts in Wrestling History.'
Ok, so where's the Undisputed Championship??
It's an opinion piece. It's not in my top 10 but I can understand it being in yours
Someone online has done V2 of it on the wwe game
@Kevin Bugg I really like the ROH TV title
My favorite for sure! Too
#1 in my books baby
Yeah I miss the Winged Eagle and the IC Belt. Those where so beautiful! The BEST!
The NWA United States Heavyweight belt that Lex Luger had in the 80's will forever be my favorite.
The current IWGP heavyweight title belt. That thing is amazing.
(sssshhhhh) they're doing that to seem unbiased
Indie Marks LoL
+Joseph Shepard Really all the IWGP belts look great, NJPW definitely knows how to make a belt.
@@abhaymanhas8259 Funny how your clearly trying to roast non-wwe fans yet you don't even know what they are talking about
Still a sucker for Austin's Smoking Skull belt. It showed what a badass superstar he was that he had a belt designed specifically for him.
Yes. Sir.
Way better than Cena’s spinner
@@bfan82 Although Cena's spinner had a lot of prestige because legends like Edge, RVD, HHH, Orton, Jeff Hardy, Batista, The Miz, Rey Mysterio, Cm Punk and The Rock won it.
@@bfan82 Cenas belt was legendary
The only list the “eco friendly” belt deserves to be on is Jericho’s... god awful.
Keystone Mountain Outdoors that’s your opinion
Just some Doge with Internet Access and most people agree with his fucking opinion
@@MitsubishiLancerEvo ok boomer
@@MitsubishiLancerEvo shut up
@@MitsubishiLancerEvo ok, shut up
The Eco-Friendly title has nothing to do on this list seriously
How the hell are the Million Dollar Belt and the Eco belt on this list. Jesus what are modern wrestling fans thinking? 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Modern fans thinking..... Oh ho ho ho ho ho ho ho
The Million $ Belt looks like a giant watch and the "eco" belt looks like a toy.
Ever heard of a opinon
@@kian_boner5501 yeah and in the case of those 2...it's a very bad opinion...especially the Eco Belt
@@ronalddunaway8147 dude calm down is his opinion and they look pretty good...
I always LOVED the wwe's IC belt... never felt like it got the credit its design deserved.
WCW's Big Gold Belt is easily #1
WWE’s big gold belt is better in my opinion
@@paxsontsark9801 its the same belt
kawhi knot not entirely, different designs
AusTraLiaNPsyChO. I completely agree
I know I'm alone when I say this and I'll die on this hill by myself if I have to, but I absolutely loved the spinning belt. Thank you John Cena for creating that masterpiece.
Count me in on that bandwagon. I love the look of that belt and I think it complemented the more traditional Big Gold Belt
Oath, loved that spinning belt so much. If it didn't spin it'd look cool too.
Many people who grew up watching the ruthless aggression Era, loved that belt, it the time perfectly
@@nathandieatrick7117 it was at the end of the ruthless agression era kid
back then we had the big gold and the indisputed championship
The belt is ok I never hated it, BUT I hated that they kept the "CHAMP" banner even when Cena wasnt champion.
Call me weird but I always had a thing for WCW's Television Title belt during the monday night wars
DontTaze MeBro you’re not the only one....I love that belt....if you go back and watch nwa wrestling in 85/86....it was called the world tv title....mainly because it was the supplemental title to the us belt in the territory era....
Also the WCW cruiserweight title and WCW U.S title where good too
It was awesome
@@Bragg-wt6yg The wcw US title looks similar to the IC title imo
I agree with this list but damn y'all forgot about new Japan pro wrestling
Hell yeah where's the us, ic, and heavyweight championship at
@@gideonthehero5657 4 REAL
@@tomjohnson8410 that's cause it is
The big gold belt was my choice fur number 1
IWGP Heavyweight belt was omitted why? Definitely better looking than the WWE UK one...
Better than all on this list imho
Personally I prefer the iwgp intercontinental
The big Gold Belt that Ric Flair eventually wore as the NWA/WcW world champion is hands down the most beautiful belt in history!
I am extremely partial to old school NWA belts. To me, the greatest belt ever made is the NWA World Television Championship circa 1985-1991.
Cant disagree. What a great era for beautiful meaningful belts
The tv championship was a beautiful silver and red as I recall
It was so closely associated with Arn Anderson that it's a shame a replica of the TV title wasn't included with his Mattel figure.
The nwa tv title is actually the first metal replica i ordered
The WWE Undisputed Championship/ WWE Championship was a beauty in my opinion.
Same
World Heavyweight Championship... Was always my favorite belt when Rey had it it nearly covered half his torso when he wore it LOL.....
The WWE Undisputed Title was a really good looking title also IWGP World Title is also good.
2002 - 2005 Undisputed/WWE Championship will always be my favourite design-wise, nothing comes close.
Agreed!
The last time WWE was original
@@RedRanger_ then the hell is NXT
After that all we got was big W titles with terrible and unoriginal designs they’re something straight out of create a championship
@@kurze8297 I don't mind the current design for the main WWE Championship, the black leather works well with it... the rest however, yeah way to be lazy and not allow your belts to stand out.
The WWE spinner is a beauty
Yes. It totally is.
Looks like a kids'toy so nope
Just got my wwf winged eagle belt today. It's awesome. Took it with me everywhere I went. Felt like a champ.
Or a mark who spent hundreds for a belt u never won 😪
@@heroinabuser5980 Username checks out.
10:NWA Champ----
Turns off video.
Pretty stupid thing to say considering the titles prestige and its look
@@TrippieFox looks more like a tag team title
@@TrippieFox it should be way higher than 10.
@@worldsuperior2008 that's what I say about the aew championship😂
@@TrippieFox the NWA title is gross looking if we're being honest..... And this is a video about the best looking championships
OG ECW world heavyweight champion
honestly, all of TNA's belts in 2010 were beautiful... the World Heavyweight, X Division, Tag Team, Television, Knockout's, etc
The Knockout’s title is one of my fav belts either in the white or the black a very underrated design.
TNA’s World title was also underrated. I was pissed off when Sting debuted a new belt in 2011 and Eric Young found the original belt in the rubbish.
ymd agreed!! although the one Sting debuted was beautiful. it was just too long with too many sideplates.
The WWE Undisputed title from 2002 was a gorgeous belt. Also, I personally liked Bill Watts's UWF championship belt.
I think the NXT UK tag titles look better then the WWE world tag team championship.
You mean the classic ones? Personally I think they are better aswell
The WWF winged eagle of the 90s is the most beautiful title ever !
Yes which ultimate warrior wore this belt
Didn't Stone Cold chuck it in a river in the late 90's?
@@spudgunn8695 I'm pretty sure it was rock throwing stone colds custom smoking skull belt into the river
@@christophermadison5289 if my memory serves me right, the custom smoking skull belt is what replaced the old belt after Stone Cold chucked it in the river, and when the Rock got his hands on that belt he returned the favour. Two belts chucked in rivers inside a year. Wrestlers were a bit more careless back then!
It was one of the tag belts that was thrown off the bridge
The IWGP Heavyweight title is absolutely beautiful. It really does relay the nobility of the belt.
And the intercontinental is amazing.
Also shoutout to the WWE Cruiserweight championship. Purple never looked so damn good.
AEW and the former Impact Grand Championship complete the Top 5 for me.
I know this is old, but I think the WWF/E Undisputed Championship deserved a spot on the list, or at least an honorable mention. A very underrated design
WWF Undisputed Championship will always be my favorite.
The og look for the intercontinental championship will always be my favorite
Same. The UD championship was badass as all hell, and it got replaced by Cena’s toy belt.
No IWGP World/US/Intercontinental? No WWF Smoking Skull? No WWE Undisputed Championship? GTF outta here
I like the BJW Heavyweight title with the barbed wire.
@@MoviesNGames007uk agreed. I also like the HOG Tag Team titles that look like giant sheriff badges, & the WWF Hardcore title. But they're an acquired taste lol
Smoking Skull Championship? Are you serious?
@@jimmisawa97 Yea, was unique at the time. Probably my favourite wrestler title (wayyyyy better than Cena's World/US & Jeff Hardy's TNA World titles). It didn't over stay it's welcome like Cena's version of the WWE title either.
@@I_Am_Timms Well, you have a point
The World Heavyweight Championship looked like an actual world title
the white ic belt is so damn beatiful
Big Gold Belt should be #1
So many beautiful belts missing... Second part is necessary
Great list. Winged Eagle is by far the best belt ever made. I would’ve added the big eagle and the NJPW belt too.
The old TNA heavyweight belt was perfection. Looked so good on kurt angle
The WCW U.S. title and WWEs Undisputed title were great looking as well.
WCW US title is the greatest title ever
Wwes us title look way better then wcw us
@@quinjuanmurray7528 hell no
the og version way better
wwe u.s belt look a play toy side by side with WCW u.s belt
@@MrCrow42 notice everyone thinks "the original is automatically better" but that's not always true. The wwe version has a bigger flag then the wcw version which gives it a more patriotic feel, plus wwes version is nearly 20 years old, wcw version didnt even last 10 years
@@quinjuanmurray7528 well to be honest its way more than that, the WCW U.S title was really like the NWA u.s title , hence the title lasted way more than 10 years, and the real reason many people love it cause its essentially the winged eagle plus the IC title combined
The NXT designs are so cool, they are my favorite designs of belts in Wrestling, especially the beautiful North American Championship, it’s amazing looking.
AWA World Heavyweight Championship
1970s-1980s
Awa belt is my all time favorite
The 80's version of the NWA United States heavyweight title.
Three were 5 different ones in the 80's.
The old silver magnum TA 1985 United States heavyweight championship the one they gave him after he defeated wahoo McDaniels inside the steel cage to win the belt
The one Lex Luger held.
Yeah man most all of the nwa 80's titles were absolute things of beauty
Wwf undisputed championship . Stunning belt. the detail was awesome
I really like the current tag team title belts. They are nice to look at, like the renders for the Note 10. The division may not be comparable to what it once was, but I like those belts!
Great Video!!
The Tully Blanchard NWA US Silver Belt. Also the AWA World Title (Flag Design). I've loved those belts.
These guys are young hipsters. They dont understand classic belts
You forgot the big red belt
I think the AEW belt looks quite cluttered tbh. Cant make out any of its details in any pictures.
Right I dont think it belongs on the list
The shape of the aew belt is what really kills it
Ya the European title, ic belt, attitude era wwf title,wcws tv title and last tag belts all look better than alot of belts on this list, and come on the nwa belt on here is a joke that belt is terrible maybe it's because I grew up with those belts in my opinion they are awesome
@@ninobrown8288 I've always thought the Hardcore title is underrated too
The eco-friendly belt is definitely a classic. The color scheme alone is just divine. So sublime and coordinated. Add to that the dark woodgrain on the main plate and the soft brown of the hemp strap and it's delightful to look at. One of the most visually pleasing championship belts ever.
How can u exclude IWGP title, the IWGP. U.S. title, IWGP Intercontinental title, NWA 80s tag title, UWF title?
Big gold is my favorite belt of all time
This guy is WWE fanboy LOL.
IWGP Heavyweight championship 4th belt is the BEST
Ever heard of a OPINON
He probably is a WWE guy lol.
Are you insane? The Big Gold Belt is, and always will be the best belt there is, sorry
The spinning belt was beautiful though!
The smoking skull belt didn't even get an honourary mention
🤮
I really love that belt!!
bigswerboski why are you using the giving shrek head emoji?
The most beautiful Belt of all time was the Big Eagle, Attitude Era Belt!
I was always (and even now) a fan of the NWA Unites States heavyweight championship. Just a beautiful belt done right in my opinion. And even then it was simple, the Western States Heritage Title was nice. The last WCCW heavyweight strap looked good too.
I don't know if I'd put the eco-belt on this list, but at least it had the advantage of being distinctive from the other top belts of that year. It was slightly more than just the same logo on a different color background....
The AEW title is beautiful? You guys are getting a little carried away with yourselves aren't you?
I think the belt is really pretty, BUT it definitely needs work and shouldn't be top 10. It is too cluttered and too busy.
just a bunch of smarks
The AEW belt is not beautiful, its just decent
It is very attractive but in my opinion even the "unsightly" (as they called it in the video) WWE United States championship looks better.
I like the AEW title, but I do agree with the opinions that they shot a bit close to the IWGP Heavyweight belt. I like it better than anything else i'll be able to see on weekly US TV this fall though.
My fav was Steve Austin's Smokin' Skull belt
Same
Same
I'm 33. The tag team titles were always my favorite growing up!! 🔥🔥🔥
The Bob Backlund belt from the late 70s, early 80s is amazing!
I love the WWE World tag team titles from '02 - '10.
Fixed your list:
1. The Big Gold Belt
2. WWE Winged Eagle Belt
3. New AEW Belt
4. Intercontinental Belt
5. United Kingdom Belt
Ew
1. The Big Gold
2. Winged Eagle
3. UK
4. Intercontinental
5. World Tag Team
That AEW belt is cheesy as hell
Ryan Rebman you’re saying that cuz you’re a wwe fucker lmfao yall need to mature
Dead Pizza the old ic is bad the new one is good
Oh my stars and garters! The Winged Eagle Belt pictured with the modern stars, in HD is stunning.
WCW Cruiserweight Belt and their Tag Team belts with the muscle man holding the globe on his back were very gorgeous championship designs.
The version of the WWE championship that Eddie Guerrero beat brock lesnar for is still in my mind the best looking belt
No world heavy weight championship
You mean the undisputed championship
I would've included WCW US title & TNA tag team title. They are well lush
Glad I am not the only person that thinks those belts were highly attractive.
@@mr.suplex927 You got good taste in title belts mate 😎
I've never wanted a replica belt until I saw that gorgeous WWE UK Championship. I want one!!!!
I bought my belt from Undisputed Belts! AWESOME! Your personal design:
The big gold belt has to be the most iconic
I'm kinda sad that the WWE undisputed belt isn't on here. My current favorite is the NXT UK TITLE
Agreed. UK title looks very regal and prestigious.
@@Alvin_Vivian I don't even watch wrestling any more just keep up with the iwc, buy from the second I saw it I thought it was a gorgeous belt
THE N.W.A. WORLD TITLE SHOULD BE RANKED #1
Agreed
Agreed
Taz' FTW championship belt was on point
The big gold belt is hands down the most beautiful
The I C belt that Jeff Hardy won so many times is my favorite
A very good list. I'm a fan of the Undisputed belt from 02 until whenever the spinner belt replaced it.
That was a great day for wrestling when Corey Rhodes brought back the white ic strap but I honestly have to put the big gold belt in 2nd and Definitely the winged eagle in 1st love it and it's the only replica belt I own
The "spinner" WWE Championship made some people look like real champion
but for some people (like The Undertaker [yes i know he never had the belt]) it would look like a toy. Right ?!
I agree.
I agree and prime example would be Triple H it looked like a toy on him
It looked like a toy on everyone. It was like a prize in one of those claw machine games where you try to pull toys out of a glass case using a hand control.
It fit people like Cena, Miz and Edge (and possibly punk). But not really anyone else
@@kaitlyngarner740 I agree it fit Cena, which is more or less why I completely stopped watching and following for 5 years.
Get out with your eco friendly championship
I agree and im a big Daniel Bryan fan.. especially when he took that title from AJ and showed his true colors lol
Honorable mention to the wwe undisputed champion from 2002-2005
Surprisingly I agree with the top 3
No Stone Cold Smoking Skull Belt??? This list is flawed.
I hated that belt.
You forgot the BIG WING EAGLE BELT!!!!
It's number 1
You forgot to watch the whole video
bebbingtons1987 no its not that’s the winged eagle we are talking about the attitude era big eagle championship
Thanksgiving McDaniels bebbingtons1987 no its not that’s the winged eagle belt we are talking about the attitude era big eagle championship two different belts
I'd put the WWF Big Eagle Belt somewhere in the top 5. Not only for it's appearance, but because of the wrestlers that carried it and for how popular the industry was when it was being used.
When Terry Funk was NWA Champion I had the opportunity to hold the belt during a tv taping. It had a dent in the World Globe. And it was so heavy. A skull breaker!
7:24 WCW only stopped using the Big Gold belt because Ric Flair still owned the physical belt and wasn't with the company at the time. They started using it again as soon as he came back.
Oh interesting
Yea I believe he paid the deposit to have the belt made it was $100K he called Vince and said I’m coming and I have the belt
@@thederricklamonexperience it wasn't to have the belt made it was just a deposit that the champion would put down on the title as a way to not have them run off with it. When Herd fired Flair he refused to pay Ric back the deposit so Ric kept the belt. That's what lead to the other WCW Championship belt being made.
Unpopular choice, but I think the Spinner WWE Championship was dope at the time. ( granted I was only 11 when the belt debuted )
The new Brahma bull championship belt was badass and so clean with the gold bull with red eyes.
