No More Spinner
I just wanted to note that the WWE title has a semi-new design. The entire belt is the same, except for the actual WWE logo in the center does not spin anymore. Not that big of a fact, but I just think it should be noted. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.238.212.128 (talk) 18:47, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
- While I too noticed this, it can't be added without a source. Gavyn Sykes 18:58, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
What about countless pictures with the WWE logo in the upright position? What about the mention of a new belt at No Mercy? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.238.212.128 (talk) 01:34, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
- I just wanted to add the Cena used the same "fixed" spinner belt design from January 2007 to May 2007. Oh yeah, Vince Mcmahon didnt say it was the new WWE Championship, he said,"The new WWE Champion, Randy Orton." (Lakers244805 06:05, 11 October 2007 (UTC))
- People have to realize the difference in terms of championship belt, or title belt, and title itself. A new WWE title would mean that they'd created a new title entirely. TonyFreakinAlmeida 16:49, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
- Why not have the article state something like "With Randy Ortons Win the belt was altered so that it was a non-spining design. It is beleived to be the same belt as worn by Cena." Just an idea. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.106.98.109 (talk) 18:42, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Lakers244805 is correct. The WWE title belt didn't appear to spin during Cena's feud with HBK. The belt's "WWE" logo was always in a fixed, upright position (check it out if you get the chance). Since it wasn't considered a new belt design back then, it shouldn't be considered a new belt design now. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.57.85.4 (talk) 19:26, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
Thats because no one was looking at the belt when Cena was champ, they watching something else. And by that I mean a different channel. AD Double J 03:17, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
- If the logo doesn't spin, why was it shown to be crooked rather in its straight "fixed" position? If you watch Orton walking down to the ring for the match on last Monday's Raw, you can clearly see that the logo is crooked.Odin's Beard 13:37, 25 October 2007 (UTC)
- I have the replica belt and you have to stick something inbetween the spinner part and the main plate and sometimes if you shake it too hard or drop it you can dislodge it. I think backstage Orton or someone else hit the belt by accident and broke the thing that held the spinner inplace and didnt have time to fix it because it they were live, I bet you that the next time you see the title on TV it will be in it's fixed position again. (Lakers244805 06:50, 28 October 2007 (UTC))
- Two things. 1. Lakers, if you have a replica belt why haven't you bothered to take a picture of it so that we could at least have a better quality image than the one currently in the article? 2. The whole thing about someone accidentally hitting the belt is OR. I also have noticed that the belt presented to Orton had the spinner removed and replaced with a fixed WWE logo, so I'm guessing the consensus is obviously agreeing that the belt no longer spins. That’s set. However, we cannot speculate on anything so the only thing that can be added is that the belt presented to Randy Orton no longer appears to spin. -- bulletproof 3:16 07:07, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
- I've uploaded my picture, you guys are free to edit the picture if you want because I took a really bad picture (Lakers244805 18:04, 28 October 2007 (UTC))
- It’s not bad but could you try another one? Do you have a white blanket or sheet that you can but the belt on to give it a white background. It would be a lot easier to edit like that. Also unstrap the belt so that we can see all 5 plates like in Image:WWF big eagle belt.jpg. Would really appreciate it. Thanks.-- bulletproof 3:16 20:03, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
This entire conversation has been kinda mistrewn now after Survivor Series. When Mike Chioda, the referee of Shawn michaels vs Randy Orton, lifts the title into the air, the WWE sign is not fixed. It is in the wrong posistion, and therefore it is possibly still a spinner belt.--ProtoWolf (talk) 09:04, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
- Yeah I saw that too, but when they handed the title back to Randy Orton the belt was back in the fixed position (Lakers244805 (talk) 03:42, 24 November 2007 (UTC))
- Ha! Orton must have dropped it backstage or something. Clumsy Orton-- bulletproof 3:16 03:51, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
- I am rather sure that the belt had been given a sort of regulator during John Cena's last WWE Championship reign. If you had the volume up high enough, when he spun it, it seemed to make a 'clacking' sound (kinda like the casino game, with the big wheel and the arrow thing that makes a similar sound when the pegs hit it. Sorry for not knowing the name of such game) So, the reason the logo never seems to spin now, is since nobody purposely spins it anymore, and the spinning logo is usually set to the upright position. The regulator then should keep it in that position 161.184.182.176 (talk) 12:19, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
I have undisputable proofs that Randy Orton's WWE Belt still has a apinner on it:
- If you watch the Janury 7th episode of Raw, during Jeff Hardy and Umaga's Steel Cage match, Randy Orton comes out and sits on a chair at ringside. When you look at the belt, you see that the WWE logo is crooked. It is the 4th photo in the photo set.[1]
- In the Jeff Hardy/Randy Orton WWE Title Match at the Royal Rumble promo, Randy Orton's WWE Title logo is crooked 90° (the WWE Belt is sideways on Orton's shoulder, and the WWE logo is upright) Talon Kelson (talk) 01:31, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
When Cena got injured they were very strict on making the title stay straight so fans would accept it as the OFFICIAL WWE Title but I think now they just dont care anymore, but for 8 months in 2007 the belt was in a straight position. I've noticed too that the belt is not straight anymore but can someone add that there is a new little silver thing at the end of the belt for RAW HD?

Previous Designs
Why was the grid that contained all the previous belt designs and years held deleted? I thought that looked much better, and was more exhaustive, than the current thumbnail pics of only two previous designs. Tony2Times 17:12, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
I Agree that the Older ones looked Completely Better! --.::Save a Cow, Eat a Vegetarian!::. 08:45, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

If either of you have a replica belt we would appreciate you taking a picture of it to add it to the article.-- bulletproof 3:16 17:17, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
