As we all know, the World Heavyweight Championship got a new paint job a few weeks ago, but I noticed on SmackDown that the plate isn't as curved as the title Edge had.
But also the inside of the belt is burgundy/reddish, this is new to me, they must have releathered it too.

The current WHT is the original 100% gold but now it is not as curved and has a red leather back to the belt.

Theyve changed it so many times in the last year I dunno why anyone would notice or care anymore.
People talk about the title changes making it lose prestige, but honestly I care more about how constant the actual belt is changed and modified. Even though it is a prop, the constant changes makes it seem more like they keep primping it up for TV and ruins the illusion. One title belt should last for years, leather and all.

I noticed this, too. They should keep it looking consistent.

^ Yeah I don't know why they keep changing it.
Maybe the new design didn't go over well with higher ups after all?

What variations has there been this past year? I've noticed multiple releatherings, and paintjobs. Plates looking too silver, too shiney, or too gold. and as said, the dry brush, which lead to another paintjob. I like the belt when everything looks stressed and actually used. worn leather that isnt obscenly thicker and bigger the plates; plates that are shiney but not reflective. I could post a pic example but im lazy rite now. Hopefully its an understandable description.

I like the World Heavyweight title curved!
The now looks a lot like the WCW title.
but I like how its got the red at the back of the strap, just like how in the Attitude era, they all had different colours other than black!

Yeah I think they have change the world title design like 4 or 5 times since its birth. first they gave HHH back the WCW title but they just called it the WHC, then in 2003 they changed the design to a more shiny design, then when Batista moved to SD! After that i think it was just changed last year again( I don't really know) and now the current. Well at least they haven't changed it completely!

I really can't remember any significant changes other than the recent red re-leather. Can any one post pics of any old versions?

Is there any reasoning of this thread?
Sorry not trying to sound like a douchebag.
By the way, I did see that It looked different.

I really am partial to the black brushed one. It gave it a great look IMO and brought out the detail.
