10 Greatest Wrestling Championship Belts Ever

[@REfan2002]

Big gold will always be my favorite belt.

[@brucelucasjr5856]

I liked it too, second only to the Winged Eagle of the Golden/New Generation eras in my opinion

[@yadielenielbellecolon982]

Me too I really Like it 💛🌟🥇🏆

[@metalanarchy5186]

Mine two I also love the white ic belt the smoking skull belt and the big gold winged Eagle

[@Mr.Sax.]

Everything is perfect about it, even the nickname, "Big Gold" is so simple yet so distinctive.

[@Deadkey6]

Yes, bro

[@Hypnotiqgenes]

The Gift of the Gods title gets discussed more because it is an interesting title in look and execution, but I will always have a soft spot for the giant gold Aztec calendar that is the Lucha Underground Title. That thing was beautiful.

[@artirony410]

yeah IMO the Gift of the Gods is a top 3 for me, just the whole thing of putting the 7 medallions in it is so cool

[@souledge37]

Incredible belt. Only thing that could make it better is if it had more of a 3D look.

[@kevinalford]

the total lack of respect LU gets on this channel really sucks. They were the best in the game for a short time there.

[@circleancopan7748]

I hope MLW or any Mexican promotion to revive the Gift of the Gods title.

[@MegaShingo97]

Truly an awful belt for me, i don't know what people see in it...

[@JETLIFEMUZIK]

I love how the big Gold is so respected it can be used as the main championship in any company

[@reidboggs4344]

I mean. Having seen it in person, it is the literal first thing you see when it comes into a room.

[@silverlightsaber]

WWE Undisputed Title (2002-2005) That title deserves a spot on this list!

[@puslint]

Yessssss

[@TheLarryburns84]

I feel like this one was the last truly great WWE belt, and it's always saddened me it was so short lived (for a championship anyway)

[@robertosobreiro6212]

Don't agree with it at all. The title looks very messy in my opinion.

[@KevinPayton-fq8gd]

I'm shocked that it wasn't on the list.

[@patmoar7242]

Yasssss

[@Kalel2.0]

The Big Gold will forever be my favorite belt. It's beautiful and makes anyone look like a champion and has such a prestigious history and lineage anyone would wanna be part of. Such a danm shame it has an annoying and stupid big W on it now

[@angel-ij4xv]

same here classic belt

[@ericsanchez4638]

I'm for sure ordering one for myself this year 😁😁😁

[@LonerWithBoner03]

Yeah, haven't watched WWE for a few years but looking at the pics, I don't like it, my gripe is that why is it so dark on the middle? It should be all shiny

[@itsOasus]

The good ROH World Title has homages to Lou Thesz's old belt. Just another reason why it's so good.

[@vampirascoffin870]

💯🤙🏼

[@calebdavila2420]

I do really like that Gift of the Gods championship, unique concept.

[@suneater98]

My favorite is the IWGP World heavyweight championship v3 and V4

[@AliAlnamir]

V3 is underrated I feel. That was the IGF one Lesnar held right?

[@suneater98]

@@AliAlnamir I think soo

[@adamcarr8120]

We all knew what 1 and 2 would be, but that IWGP V4 is just SOOOOOOOOO damn pretty

[@JouvaMoufette]

As someone who has a replica OG NXT belt, I can 100% confirm that if you even look at the belt wrong, it smudges

[@ericadams214]

I loved the winged eagle belt, and the attitude Era eagle belt, but the ruthless aggression Era undisputed title was one of the best. The og TNA heavyweight title was a beauty too.

[@SlowmovingGiant]

i love the Oval IC belts, really like the old WCW US Title as well.

[@MazeDaGr8]

0:48 The Attitude Era championship is my Favorite belt design of all Time

[@TheWilbz]

Not including this makes the list void before you even start it

[@theonlygoodonehere2259]

wdym? thats a terrible design

[@czynx3196]

Good list. I'd personally have the NXT UK Tag Titles in there too. Love those belts.

[@theharv1490]

NXT UK titles were so underrated in their designs

[@bobbydelacroix1515]

IWGP US Title is probably my favorite current belt, it’s freaking gorgeous 😱

[@reddeath5791]

New Japan having the US, Intercontinental and THE IWGP Heavyweight Championship is honestly the most beautiful collection of singles titles any company has ever had

[@TheNath87]

More honorable mentions - NXT UK Tag Titles, WCW US Title, both WWE US Titles, wCW Cruiserweight Title, European Title, IWGP US Title, IC Title from '98 - 2011, original TNA Tag Title, some of the X Division designs were nice.

[@lilmat7582]

The MLW belts are absolutely gorgeous

[@coywarrior71]

Yes!!!

[@ashleywhiting2141]

The fact the big eagle is only an honourable mention is criminal

[@ErikAziz]

It's my favorite belt but I can kinda get it. It's not too original of a design 😂

[@ericvyskocil7428]

The black and gold Undisputed title not even getting an honorable mention is more so

[@ashleywhiting2141]

@@ericvyskocil7428agreed. That one is also top 3 for me

[@uncensoredreality]

One of these days y’all gonna put some respect on the Attitude Era Big Eagle belt.

[@theendlesschapter3720]

It was before my time, but the winged eagle is definitely a gorgeous belt. I have a fondness for the Intercontinental Belt too. Both the white strap one reintroduced by Cody and the one just prior. There is something about the gold and little bit of blue that I just love.

[@TheIllustriouBlueJay]

How did the NWA Championship only make "Honorable Mentions"?

[@IsaiahJohnsoncocoinc]

Because it’s not really that good.

[@PleaseNerfGod]

While prestigious, it quite frankly is pretty dated

[@AkrimTabbouli]

​@@PleaseNerfGod nah I really like it. It would be my 3rd behind Winged Eagle and Big Gold. I love the flags on the side. UK, Canada, Mexico and Japan. The countries of wrestling. The globe that pops out is quite an unusual feature too.

[@valeriewithsalt]

overrated

[@hezekiahramirez6965]

That belt is ugly and outdated. It never looked prestigious but now it looks substandard and very old. I wish they'd retire it but it does fit the NWA's general cheapness and horribly outdated philosophies

[@m_affan_q]

The 24/7 Title the most beautiful and prestigious title belt of all time to ever exist in the history of belts!

[@DylanMcLean-ge7in]

Agreed.

[@GoBoryaschya_moBa_ye_cBoboda]

Good joke .No other words to say .

[@knickydymondz33]

You just like to watch the World Burn huh?

[@frankiescott730]

Funny guy

[@plague223]

Fax, held by the best champions in history

[@TheThird1977]

Shocked that the WCW US Championship didn't even get an honourable mention.

[@markmadden84]

The original Undisputed Championship belt was perfection. Brock's belt will never be bettered.

[@standardofexcellence]

A dude with a.i. just made alot of better

[@mayankrajawat631]

The American bad ass also held that belt

[@jamalvargas6146]

The WWE Version Of The United States Championship (2003-2018) my personal favorite Championship early into my Pro Wrestling run (thanks to John Cena)

[@dkjuicer]

it was bold and in your face, perfect for an american championship

[@jefferyreed4073]

My favorite is the classic I.C championship an I also like the I.C belt that Gunther has an the new world heavyweight championship the won that Seth Rollins just won them 2 are designs an the worst is the ones that Roman Reigns just had be4 they changed it I can't remember what they named them WWE championship or WWE universal championship I can't remember

[@ericsanchez4638]

Yes that one is definitely in my top 5 favorites belts 👍👍👍

[@enricocorsini9932]

I'm in love with the lucha underground championship from 2014-2018 😻

[@mrf19741]

The NWA World Television Championship Belt has always been a favorite of mine since it first debuted in the mid-80s when I was a kid. I was lucky enough to find it this past weekend at a Flea Market!😁

[@alphonzasmith1015]

Greatest title ever nwa TV championship

[@vbn2678]

The WWF Hardcore belt without doubt was the best; completely unique in appearance and perfectly represented the division it was for.

[@axesoccer7887]

I always loved the original Open the Dream Gate Championship from Dragon Gate.

[@BatFan1]

The thing that surprises me the most about the Winged Eagle belt, is that it's relatively small when worn by what was Vince's preferred "big guy" champions like Hulk Hogan, Ultimate Warrior, etc. (which the Attitude Era belt corrected) It surprises me because of the comparative size to The Big Gold belt, that Vince's ego would want his promotions title to be bigger and bolder. If the Winged Eagle were the same size of Big Gold, it would be IMO the greatest world title ever.

[@Smokeymaru]

WCW United States title was super sick looking as well

[@mattyg4186]

The 1986-1998 WWE Intercontinental Championship, The Winged Eagle 1988-1998 WWE Championship, and the red strap NWA Television Championship are my 3 favorite championship designs.

[@bosskbennjpw]

Your absolutely right about the original nxt title😅 I feel so glad that someone else has acknowledged it.

[@ErnonFloundee23]

A very under appreciated title that I think is pretty is the WWWF title that was used from Pedro Morales to Superstar Billy Graham. I do like the eagle in the centre and the red leather that a Pedro used.

[@MichaelMorales-ll3hv]

One of my favorites as well the 1972 belt but it was Stat stasiak that beat pedro

[@aaronplaz6761]

I'd give an honorable mention to the Cruserweight Championship of 2015. That purple championship with a hectagon shape was simply amazing and unique

[@benespinosa6725]

The WWE women's title from 1998-2010 is legendary and 10X Better than the Divas title the Undisputed title from 2002 was awesome.

[@TheViper4Life]

Big Eagle getting relegated to an Honorable Mention should be a crime.

[@toml6614]

It's a paddling

[@ronaldnichols9815]

The NWA Domed Globe has always been my favorite Belt! I have a replica of it. I grew up watching Georgia championship wrestling. I have almost every belt that was featured on that program!

[@AkamoriArt]

I don't think there is, nor has there ever been, a championship belt in any sport as pretty or as prestigious as the 2008-2021 IWGP Heavyweight Championship.

[@pablogrijalva1581]

That picture of Ultimo with teh J-Crown is amazing

[@Wickedred413]

As a big-time huge fan of MLW I'm very appreciative that someone is talking about how beautiful the MLW championship belts are.Especially the current world heavyweight championship.

[@Baloothepibble]

My PERSONAL favorite belt is the wcw tv title. The red one worn by Arn Anderson.

[@KiranTaker270]

Only Reason I say big eagle is my favourite is because i grew up during the attitude era.

[@jorgebarrera2165]

No love for the 90s WCW United States Championship? It had a similar winged eagle design with a small outline of the USA in red white and blue…

[@liberals1are1a1joke]

Nwa us title in mid to late 80s before the one you speak of is so much better and us tag titles are beautiful belts

[@saikatkar4452]

WWE'S Undisputed Title from 2002-2005 was a glorious belt. Why that was replaced with Hot Garbage by John Cena I would never understand.

[@the1vuduman]

You really should check out the VWAA title belt from Top Rope Belts. It was a tiny indie fed in Chicago, but a glorious big-time belt that deserved more.

[@zacharysolano6375]

“Been a while since I had any money” I felt that

[@sheawhitey5009]

Man, oh man... BROTHER, I TOTALLY FEEL YA😞😞😞

[@thaloh]

Big Gold and Winged Eagle are both timeless designs. If the WWE allowed the undisputed/Universal champ to wield both belts, it would really elevate the look of the champ.

[@wanderlustwarrior]

Since Lucha Underground got taken off streaming right before I could get it, I never got the chance to see the Gift of the Gods Championship before this video's comments brought it up, but that design is pretty class!

[@TheUncleWulf]

My Favourites are the WWE Tag Team Championchip Belts from 2002-2020 & the World Tag Team Championchip Belts from 2006

[@Synicuz]

I know it’s nostalgia for me but I love the spinner belt I grew up in that era and it’ll always have a special place

[@adamdavis1737]

I think the best looking title they ever had was the first version of the Big eagle. With the blue backstrap and the block logo. But between Austin just carrying it around in a sweaty gym back, spilling beer all over it, bleeding on it, that big blood bath from Kane.... Well the blue strap quickly turned black so they replaced it within the year with the scratch logo black strap Big eagle. Which I still like, but man that blue strap had such a beautiful contrast to the gold

[@shaunkenneally7597]

I am proud of the fact I know about ALL the Titles. My personal faves WCCW Championship grew up in Dallas NWA World titile can't beat history.

[@tough2015]

I’d like to throw a reminder that the WWE UK title was literally the WWE Indie belt for like a year. Tyler would parade it around indies and I think defending it a couple times. Was absolutely surreal at the time.

[@sheeeeesh3628]

I grew up on the spinner but always liked the winged eagle, undisputed and attitude era belts alot more. My favorite belt is definitely the Big gold tho. Grew up on Batista and Taker holding it. It really is the Holy Grail.

[@carlosv3108]

TNA World title introduced in 2011, TNA Legends Championship, WCW U.S. Championship, WWF "Andre" World title, NXT UK tag titles are right up there for me.

[@sithlord1626]

the NWA TV title with silver plates on red leather is a beautiful design as well.....and was held by some of the greatest talent NWA had to offer at the time of it's existence....it should have at least been an honorable mention

[@boma6893]

MLW needs more coverage!

[@SirRavixofFourhorn]

@@jordanbrierley1255 No it isn't the new one looks like a piss poor attempt to copy it. It would have been decent had they not chosen to go slapping there company logo on the front of it in a different color that offsets it so bad it looks hideous.

No, it isn't the best ever.

[@LifeOfMeh87]

I have a feeling that Page's "private photo shoot" with the belt could have been part of the reason they changed the title. Good thing that title didnt show dirt or smudges as much as the men's one did

I wish they would have just reverted to the old school winged eagle design that came out in the 1980s. Now that was a classic title belt.

[@timwright3218]

Personally, I love all three incarnations of the WCW Television Title. I've got the middle one, and plan to get the other two eventually.

the winged eagle is the best title belt, but the NWA united states title from the late 80s to early 90s is a great belt too.
