So I actually like the WWE's suite of titles by and large. The Network Logo title is actually good looking - though not saying it compares to the older versions (Undisputed, Big Eagle, Winged Eagle). I think the problem with it is that one title looking like that is fine. The same designed repeated four times wears out its welcome.

The same for the Tag Titles. They're still stained by being pennies when they were bronze, that the stigma hasn't left ... even though they're actually nice looking belts.

The new IC Title is fire, and the US Title, while dated at this point, is still solid.

NXT Titles look awesome across the board, and the UK Belts are fantastic too.

Impact has good looking titles (not great, but good), and AEW's titles by and large are really good (not perfect, like the odd shape of the AEW Title and how tiny the women's belt is ... curious what TNT Title will look like).

NJPW has BEAUTIFUL belts, especially the IWGP and IC Titles. The US Title has grown on me too, even though the main plate still looks like it's upside down.

RoH's latest suite of titles are fucking garbage.

The IWGP Intercontinental Championship is absolutely gorgeous and probably one of my modern favorites right now. Surprised it didn't get mentioned yet. The WWE IC title is actually gorgeous imo and the best new design they've come up with in a while. I liked the previous version but enjoy the new, too. Concerning AEW, if the main AEW plate was just a few inches wider, it would be my favorite new belt but instead it looks like an oversized wrist watch to me sometimes.

As for historically? The WWE Undisputed Championship will always be my favorite belt ever. It's just absolutely gorgeous and screams to me "I AM the World champion" like no other WWE title since. Definitely felt this way even before the spinner came to ruin everything, I still miss that belt and if I ever buy a replica, I guarantee you that's the one.

The WCW US Title I always thought was universally loved but then I start to realize over time that it's kind of a mixed bag. Some find it awful and bland, but I personally love the plate design and how it looks. The IC Title was microscopic at the time (still one of my least favorite designs) and so the US Title was always viewed as a proper midcard title by me.

My least favorite belt designs? I hate to be that guy but WWE dominates the list. The spinner belt and the title of the tramp stamp champ marked a dark period where I stopped watching wrestling completely and especially WWE for a very long time after, so I kind of have an unrealistic spite towards those particular titles. Honorable mention: the WCW Television title is the most bland belt that ever belted, btw. I also really miss the old ROH World Title and logo. :/

Other honorable mention: The WWE European Championship is an underrated and forgotten belt. That title deserved a lot better treatment than it got in its dying years.
