@Dense it's just velcro if it makes such a huge impact on your life that it helps wrestlers do their job then you are just being ungrateful As is a lot of this fan base...
@@tomkeene9004 true, it's just velcro and it does seem a lot more comfortable and easier to use for the wrestlers anyways, most important is that the wrestlers don't mind so why should we.
The super strong magnets are neodymium magnets (or rare earth magnet) it would likely work well but I think the are super fragile and most likely would end up breaking into pieces maybe that's why but not completely sure they are also more expensive not to much but maybe with the cost and the chance of breaking are not worth it
@@ReadytoDiveIn If the most prestigious wrestling title in the world looks like a children’s toy, it diminishes much of the impact and importance of the person holding it. Nine tenths of WWE’s titles look absolutely terrible and are a shadow of what they once used to look like.
I’m glad the replica belts still use the buttons. Makes them feel more authentic. But I can appreciate the velcro being used too, makes a champion celebrating with the title a bit less awkward if they want it around their waist
i noticed this too on the usos title belts. They need to use the snaps. The velcro looks cheap and the worst part is that the snaps are still on the title but theyre not functional
I feel like the snap buttons for the looks but then thing magnetic strips under the leather would work well. You can get really thin flexible magnets that are still definitely strong enough. But that said I understand why the use the Velcro, it does make sense
Macho Man had velcro on his belts back in the 80s and 90s for the same reason. It's just standard now, and honestly, having dealt with both snaps and velcro, give me the easier option
You’re absolutely right that they’re not what they used to be. They used to be called “belts”, like they should be. Not “championships”. A championship is a status, the belt is the physical representation of it.
Alternatively, if they get creative, they could use neodymium magnets tucked under the leather underneath the buttons to replicate the click-in-place effect.
Macho Man was the original Velcro strap belt holder back in the day. They switched it back to the button straps before the wm 5 match with hogan (you’ll notice the belt is different as hogan puts it on) as hogan probably preferred it that way
The lack of gold plates is a shame. I don’t know why they didn’t could just make the main part of the belt have a gold plate instead of the blue/red/black bumpy leather look but hopefully the next belts are better
Well, I thought they just changed that because the snap one's were always given to the wrestler when they won the championship to take home. And I like how Asuka displays her. 😀❤️
WWF title belts had the snap buttons which were a lot bigger and better title belts. Crusierweight belts from the past look a lot bigger and better than the WWE belts today
I hope they change this imagine some bad ass wrestler saying in a promo segment“ I’m the champ” then takes the strap of his waste to lift it over his/her’s shoulder but you hear the Velcro tearing noise
WWE Championships are looking like a big joke nowadays. No matter how good their storytelling is without a proper look for belts they aren't looking as important like during attitude and ruthless era(s). It's not a big W logo a problem, every main event title looks the same. That's the problem
i just like it when they do things like this to help wrestlers wear the straps easier..bec ive seen moments before when they are trying to put the belt but it is taking to long wear and begins to make the moment kinda awkward
Remember when that ref struggled to snap all of the buttons of that famous bald eagle belt around Shawn Michaels waist after his very 1st World Heavyweight title win over Bret Hart? He had to impatiently shove the ref away because it was taking up his spotlight and celebration time.
I hate the Velcro they look like a toy when they’re meant to be a championship belt! I really hope they change all the designs and more them actually look like championships again!
Buttons aside, the belt JUST being the WWE logo itself is also pretty tacky. The side belts are a good idea; having the wrestler's name and logos is excellent, but the front should look as presentable as the Big Gold or Big Eagle designs.
Bro imagine being champion of a billion dollar company and unstrapping a title from your waist and you hear that velcro noise. That instantly would make me feel less important as well as the title
It’s funny sometimes cause the velcro gets stuck on the wrestlers hair
How they putting it on they waist
@Juts oh ok
@Juts 🤣
Yeah lol
mainly just bianca lmao
That's a L for WWE's reputation for the belts, while a W to the fans that wanted the real belt.
Nothing is ever good enough for your type of wrestling fans 🙄

@Dense absolutely nobody besides wrestling marks are upset at Velcro straps.
@@tomkeene9004 dude if wwe didn’t want Velcro they could of just not used Velcro
I’ll be honest, I never realised and now I will never unsee it
Agreed
Why not just use insanely strong magnetic strips?
That’s a good question
Probably more expensive, it also might attach to things accidentally
The belts are pretty heavy. The force of the magnets might be enough to hurt a wrestler when they snap together.
@@name3236 lol true but think of the bloopers

Forget about the straps, make better designs for the world titles.
They're good designs the signify the company
@@ReadytoDiveIn They’re bland and generic, and possess no personality or representation of a significant achievement or accolade. They’re crap.
@@c.j.thomas6470 signigying the company is a sign of importance for the man holding it

Ikr they have four belts that looks the same with different colors. Just lazy designs.
I legitimately never noticed so I don't think it bothers me
Same
Same here, plus it's more comfortable from the looks of things.
I notice it every time bianca bel air yanks her braid from it
I hope it doesn't bother you otherwise that would be foolish if it did
It looks like shit tbh
Bianca Belair in that shiny outfit looking real good 👀🔥
I was looking for this comment lol

You should fix the title.
It says "want" instead of "what"
"I wanna challenge anyone in the locker room to take" *rips velcro* "MY BELT"
I hear Flair’s voice in this.
I’ll tip ya $1000 if you call the waiter an a******! Woooo!
I love how big show just put the belt on his shoulder . I mean back in WCW , he can put in on his waist .
i noticed this too on the usos title belts. They need to use the snaps. The velcro looks cheap and the worst part is that the snaps are still on the title but theyre not functional
Bobby made that belt look god like

same with andre
Bro I forgot how good Bobby made the belt look fr
I've noticed that when the Street Profits were the NXT tag champs. It always bugged the crap outta me because it makes the belt look cheap.
Triple H is planning to change the belts allegedly. About darn time.
I wish these two guys worked together more often. They had fantastic chemistry
True, i like the old ones more but if it’s easier for the wrestlers i don’t mind

I haven’t watch WWE In so long I didn’t even know about this
God, Goldberg with that Championship is still a fucking jumpscare.
WWE actually uses 3 versions of each belt and one of them still has the classic strap.
I like the Velcro. Nothing worse than the ref fumbling around trying to put the belt on.

THANK YOU, Zach! Somebody finally had to call it out.

It's not just the velcro that makes them look like toys.
They should use magnets instead..I'll look cleaner and less cheaper
SCSA would pick up so much lint! 😂
Yupp, I noticed this a while back.. just absolutely fucking ridiculous.. I have no words for that..

It's literal ass with velcro especially in the last shot
Should have both, so the rivets don't have to line up but the Velcro still works
They could use those mini magnets, it would look way better
I thought it was magnets but velcro lol
Damn my belts as a kid didn't even have Velcro, just foam 😭 had to hold that sumbitch around my waist 😅🤣
This is why the UFC belt is also made like this for the Title presentation Purposes..
They could had added fake buttons to make it look better and just have the inside have the velcro to it.
My kid toys belt were ring accurate after all these years
Should go to magnets. They can be hidden look like buttons and make the belts look sleek
Let’s rewatch wen titles would fall off from superstars 😂
Magnets could be the solution. Looks more luxurious than the Velcro.
I mean I get it! I’ve seen at times when a wrestler is trying to put the belt on or someone is trying to help them and just give up lol
I don't think it's a big deal it's way easier for wrestlers to wear them and not have these awkward times of trying to wear it
Those titles are made of actual gold, those titles are heavier than u think. 🗿
I was gonna ask that question when I will walk in to wwe
Bobby Lashley looked so damn good w the belt
I love the idea but honestly I like the buttons better, that shit do make it look like a toy, the buttons make it feel more real more genuine
spoke with Dave Millican about this... the velcro actually makes it more expensive to make
UFC does that too with their title belts and even Dana White said because its easier to put on
The ufc also uses velcro most sports leagues who use belts have made the switch. That’s why I believe wwe did it.
The velcro doesn’t bother me. It’s easier to apply compared to those blasted buttons.
just when belt design began improving they fucked it up
WWE Championships are looking like a big joke nowadays. No matter how good their storytelling is without a proper look for belts they aren't looking as important like during attitude and ruthless era(s). It's not a big W logo a problem, every main event title looks the same. That's the problem
Every title used to have a design but now they are just a W
Only 2 titles are just a W bro
Not including female titles*
The titles are way too big. They need to make it the size of the Winged eagle again, so that everyone can actually wear it and have it look good.
The velcro straps is literally one of the worse changes they made
Magnetic snaps is the solution
Should make it magnetic so they can keep the look of the snaps.
The Big Gold belt with the red strap is the best lookin title ever lol
DEAR GOD ALMIGHTY!!!! Stone Cold is using the beltcro to sand Jericho's eyebrows off!!!
Yup. One of my biggest reasons for not watching dubdub anymore is cuz the belts looks like toys.
Last smackdown was first time i saw this
I never got why they didnt just have both the snaps and velcro. That way the look is maintained and the practicality maintained...
I always thought those buttons were strong magnets
I miss the old titles
The best alternative would be flexible magnetic strips imo
Even the UFC uses Velcro.
I think the giant ridiculous “W” on the belt also helps to make it look like a toy and a joke tbh
The Velcro does blend in more although the gold or silver snap buttons did look nice and the Velcro on the Raw and SD Tag Titles don't look good

It’s weird cause boxing promotions and the ufc use Velcro
Makes the belt look more fake
Would prefer the buttons honestly. Looks more prestigious.
They should’ve made them with magnetic circular tbs instead of the Velcro to keep that realistic look
I wanted to buy a replica but I wouldn’t have somewhere too put it at
I hate the Velcro they look like a toy when they’re meant to be a championship belt! I really hope they change all the designs and more them actually look like championships again!
All of there belts look like toys. They are soulless props for kids to beg their parents to buy.
So they literally turned the titles into toys. Pathetic.
Brock Lesnars title did have Velcro in that segment lol
The actual design of the belt makes it look like a toy, not just the Velcro. Hopefully HHH redesigns the belts to looks more classic
I thought they were magnets 😂
And this goes to show you that Replicas look realistic than the real ones
I somehow didn’t even notice this 😬
Why make it faster to wear with velcro if they hardly ever wear them. They just hold them over their shoulders
I see my belt in your video
I got the Replica of the Big Gold belt (WHC) and it's my favorite championship.
Buttons aside, the belt JUST being the WWE logo itself is also pretty tacky. The side belts are a good idea; having the wrestler's name and logos is excellent, but the front should look as presentable as the Big Gold or Big Eagle designs.
And also they used to be defend every 30 days or they would be stripped of the title
Yeah cause velcro is the biggest problem with WWE's belts right now
Bro imagine being champion of a billion dollar company and unstrapping a title from your waist and you hear that velcro noise. That instantly would make me feel less important as well as the title
I still remember the time I won the belt
"Not want they used to be"
Lol I noticed too
