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.

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
