That picture of Vince with the cigar is odd because I could have sworn I've read on multiple occasions that he thinks smoking is straight up gross.

Yeah, that's the face of an existentialist crisis that can't even be verbalized other than with a loud wailing.



Similarly, this should just inspire primal fear.

Look at Chris Jericho's twitter bio! I always felt that the flying the flag for the WWE was a beautiful tongue in cheek reference to the incident in Brazil as he updated it to that like a week after it happened. Also god bless that man for properly updating his location!

When the US and IC titles were reintroduced to WWE in 2003, they had brand new designs made for them. The one for the US title is the one that is alive and well today. The design they had for the IC title, however, they wound up not using and just went back to the already established belt, but now with a nameplate.

What did that alternate IC title look like?

This would be much cooler without the logos so huge on the side panels. There are just way too many logos staring at you. Of course, it would look completely different around a guy's waist/over a guy's shoulder, but straight on the amount of logos is just jarring.

That being said, it's a pretty cool looking belt.

Edit: Where did you find this, anyway? I love belt stuff and would love to read more about this kind of thing.

I linked an article a couple pages back on the guy who made them. He owns Wildcat Belts and made that Intercontinental one to show them he could design belts as well, but they didn't end up using it.

Don't really care for it. All the gaudiness of the spinner without the flair. Looks like something an Elvis Impersonator would wear while he's on the Vegas Strip. Or something Andrew Lazarchik would make as an example to show the company.

In all honesty, I wouldn't mind if WWE had used a modified version of this for the WWE Championship belt. It's a nice looking belt overall and wouldn't need a whole lot else added to it to make it at least look like a world title.

While searching the "Discard" shelf at the library I work at, I found this book:
