These are my 2 fav title designs of all time and I am completly torn on which to buy! I have the opportunity to meet HBK Shawn Michaels in February if all goes as planned, and would definitely be taking one or the other for him to sign. I have so many fond memories of this era it's impossible for me to choose. I also love the current modernized version of the classic IC and have even considered that one. Was wondering what everyone on the forums preference would be if you had to choose 1 out of the 3.

I appreciate everyone's feedback! Looks like winged eagle it is! I may in the future snag the classic IC on a yellow strap being a huge ultimate warrior fan, but I'll be taking the winged eagle to the signing. Speaking of that, I was thinking of using a gold paint pen. Anyone ever used one to get a belt signed?

No title will EVER top the Classic IC for me personally. Growing up, my favourite wrestlers held that title - Shawn, Bret, Perfect, Bulldog, Piper and Texas Tornado to name a few. If I was getting one, which I'm sure I will someday, I'd go for the light blue strap - that's my all time favourite title design.  |

I always liked the looks and design of the classic IC title over the classic WE.

Why are we discussing title belts constantly all of the sudden.

Thanks to all that responded on this thread! I went ahead and bought a winged eagle on black strap during one of Thier sales. Now I definitely have to get a classic IC next. Only issue there is I'm torn between a standard black strap or the yellow strap version of the ultimate warrior. Decisions decisions...

The Winged Eagle is, in my opinion, the greatest wrestling title belt in history.
HOWEVER....it is also a very bad REPLICA. The reason being, for whatever reason, on the replica belts, the sidebars are NOT ATTACHED. They are separate pieces from the main plate. Also, as with many replica belts, the main plate is also not as curved as the real one, which makes it look awkward.
The classic IC and current IC belts are much better REPLICAS, even though, as I said, the REAL Winged Eagle is in my opinion, the best belt ever.
Unless you want to pay a sh*t ton of money, and we are talking probably $1500 to track down a Masters Series Winged Eagle with the bars attached....don't get a Winged Eagle Replica. You WILL be disappointed in the replica.

@ Lorenzo Alcazar, I appreciate the heads up on the winged eagle replica. I have a buddy of mine who owns the vintage replica version with the 2mm plates but with the WWF logo on it, and I knew the bars weren't attached. To this day I still don't know why these replicas don't attach it. Anyway I knew what I was getting into with it and honestly for what I paid I'm satisfied. Wasn't looking to even pay 300 for a replica so I got a fair deal waiting until they did one of Thier sales on the shop. Plates on it are thicker and surprisingly the details and engraving on it look better than my friends old figures inc version. I'm looking to get an IC replica next. Just unsure about getting the black or yellow strap.

Ok if I didn’t own any of them I’d say winged eagle. But cause I have the other two I gotta say classic IC.
