Is this really what your title belt has become? If I were the Braves I would send it back. The belt looks terrible, it's not the spinner belt at least I guess.
This really upsets me, I feel like MLW is the only one that really goes out and makes titles that I want to win. And I know some of you are reading this and say this old man is on his porch again complaining about how good things used to be or I'm taking this too seriously but come on, it's should be something taken seriously. It should be a prized possession not something you lose with your luggage ...

I tend to agree with you sir. Years ago, belts were more akin to works of art, and in modern times, some of them just...ain't all that.  I like a big ol' beautiful belt that is, like you said, something a wrestler would truly want. |

A Braves fan wants to say they have suffered? They have been in the playoffs over half of the years you have been a fan since 1980 KB. Dale Murphy was the man. Enjoy your world championship.

Maybe it is just me but a lot of the belts, granted not all World but some were, from the past seemed rather small when I watch old wrestling. Mostly just a leather strap with a small metal, maybe gold or silver, plate on the front. Flair and NWA had a big one in like late 80's and early 90's. There were a few others back in the day that might have looked really good but most were not anything special in my eyes.
Either way the bigger issue is the importance they put on the title. With a PPV almost every month there is no need to have the title defended on regular TV more than maybe 2-3 times a year if even that much. It is a problem, in my eyes, that all companies seem to have. Well the big ones with maybe the exception of ROH. Put importance on the belt and title. A title shot needs to be something of importance.

Enjoy your world championship. first, congrats to the Braves and their fans such as KB for beating the Astros! 26 years is a long time between championships, but as a Mariners fan I could only wish we were so lucky as we have never even been to the World Series (let alone won it) and it has actually been 20 years (2001) since we even made the playoffs which is the longest drought in all 4 of the major league sports. The good news is that things appear to be looking up as the Mariners won 90 games this year- they were not eliminated from the playoffs until the final day of the regular season- they have the #2 farm system according to mlb.com (https://www.mlb.com/news/pipeline-farm-system-rankings,) and plenty of money to spend on free agents this offseason. I am looking forward to the 2022 season! whlineup, what do you of the Mariners' future? |

There's no arguing this point, as they've had success with minimal payoff. 18 division titles and 6 world series appearances with only 2 world titles in 30 years... The 80s... except for one year, swept by Cardinals in payoffs, it was last place after last place. The BUFFALO BILLS were the winningest team for four straight years, no team had more victories than the Bills, but 4 straight Super Bowl losses and they're remembered as losers. Fair?? Is it fair to say Bills fans suffered? So when I say suffered, is that fair? Is it better to go to the dance and get ditched by your date and have everyone laugh and think you're a loser ? Or is it easier to not go to the dance at all and avoid humiliation. |
