Belt Questions

By Scott Keith on 9 November 2014

Hi Scott,

Questions about your favourite belts –
1) Best World title belt
2) Best mid-card belt
3) Best tag belts
I pick the Big Blue belt worn by Austin circa 98 for world, the black I-C strap with red wwf logo (savage/steamboat) and the money inc tag belts with "World" in black instead of red. Your picks?
Thanks,

Wow, those are some super-specific picks. OK, let's see:

1. The original jewel-encrusted version of Flair's Big Gold Belt. The WWE's toy belt version really killed the prestige after a while, but if you go back and see the original you really appreciate all the work that went into it.

2. The Nikita Koloff/Lex Luger version of the US title. Probably just nostalgia talking, but that's the one I always associate with the title.

3. Probably the NWA tag team titles from the same period. And they lasted a LONG time, all the way into the NWA appearances on RAW in the 90s and I think into the TNA era as well.

OK, so probably nostalgia was tinting my views here, I'll admit.
