Dirty Eddie Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Well, if it does end up looking like that, Punk was right - it is shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sphinx Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 That's surely a prototype? I'll put a fiver on there at least being colour added. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew "the ref" coyne Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 How so? He had a awesome reign! The ic belt was used brilliently to elevate him up the card. But they booked him to lose nearly every match in what seems like an eternity... Â They used that method with many of Ric Flair's world title reigns didn't they? Make the champ look vulnerable and have him squeak out with a win? Besides you'll be surprised how many have had a crap reign on paper but went on to be remembered fondly. The Hardy boys never had a decent tag title reign during their peak for example. And I'm not sure the rock ever had a decent wwe title reign either (though my memory is foggy on that one). Â However it's not so much the win / loss record that made it a decent run IMO. The reason I liked the run primarily is that for the first time in ages, the ic belt was used to help develop someone's character. Â Rhodes was obsessed with bringing greatness to the ic belt and talked about his greatness for doing so. It gave his character focus, drive and a point... Something that a lot of characters are missing these days. Â Could they of handled his reign better? Sure, but between the last two mania's he had a cracking year and the belt was used as a key tool to elevate him to upper midcard level. Â I was talking about the run AFTER the Big Show held it for 5 minutes. Cody got it back and they flushed everything down the toilet. Â I agree on this though... That title change did seem pointless.

Sphinx Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I thought Cody's IC title reign was good. Maybe it was partly due to the belt design change, but I cared about the IC title more than I had for a while. He did seem to care that he was champ too.

Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted June 10, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted June 10, 2012 The Hardy boys never had a decent tag title reign during their peak for example. They are remembered for being an exciting and popular tag team. You are talking about a specific title reign being over, when it clearly isn't. If Cody Rhodes becomes a huge superstar, it will have nothing to do with his IC title reign, because it was super forgettable. If Cody Rhodes was this beacon of match quality, exciting fans nation wide, then that might be valid. But his most memorable match during his IC run was losing to Booker T in none title battles and playing second fiddle to the Big Show. Â And I'm not sure the rock ever had a decent wwe title reign either (though my memory is foggy on that one). The Rock headlined some of the largest drawing PPVs in the history of wrestling as the champion, including the domestic biggest PPV ever. I'd say his run as champion was pretty memorable. Â Could they of handled his reign better? Sure, but between the last two mania's he had a cracking year and the belt was used as a key tool to elevate him to upper midcard level. No it wasn't. The IC belt was damage control. Cody Rhodes was in a far better position on the card in 2009. And for a lot of 2010. This IC title reign was just a bloke carrying a nostalgic memory around. He'd have been better off carrying a 123 Kid Hasbro around. Â Rhodes was a midcard act, having midcard matches, carrying a midcard belt, on a secondary brand.

moofasa Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 The picture Rule one had posted above had a sideplate with awa written on it, I lke the idea of conquered terriotories being on the side plates with their region. Is this the idea? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leary of Doom Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Egads, that's awful, I actually think the spinner is better! Â they should just go back to the undisputed one which became the WWE title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moofasa Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Please show me a side plate with deep etched layering like this belt has. This is genius. I remember as a kid it was so hard to get any replica winged eagle the foam one was pretty rare and WWF magazine was still selling the plastic '86 belt until about 93. I wasn't quite as creative and have a picture in Hitman sunglasses holding up an Adihash bumbag as my winged eagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajmcstyles Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Agreed on bring back the Undisputed Championship Belt. I have a adult replica belt, it is a thing of beauty ok not as great as the Attitude or Winged Eagle Belt but still very nice. TV never did it any justice how big the belt is.

Moderators PowerButchi Posted June 10, 2012 Moderators Share Posted June 10, 2012 Is there such a thing as an Eagle without wings? I always thought "Winged Eagle" a strange (stupid) nickname for a title belt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rule One Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 The picture taken which leaked was taken in April and from what I've been told the plates had only arrived and had yet to be worked on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
