1. WWE has either had the rights to the WCW 91-93 belt for a long time because it’s been in every game since SVR 08 or 09 or THQ/2K/Yukes have had a deal for that belt for awhile 2. When they changed the logos Mattel made the Network IC belt based on the real IC design 3. The WCW TV belt was a ripoff Hogan 86 as was the Guerrero/Jericho ECW TV belt 4. There were two WCW Cruiserweight belts? 5. Despite what all of you have said, WWE does not have the rights to the WCW belts because if they did we’d have seen them by now. They know there’s demand and there’s no reason to not make them unless they can’t. The 2K deal is a separate thing and it’s been stated for over 5 years now To address 4: The PMM WCW Television belt v3 started out as the Light-Heavyweight v2 with a nameplate soldered on top of it, then it was remade to specifically and officially replace the "Light-Heavyweight" text with "Television". The JMar WCW Television belt is JMar's copy of Reggie's with minimal cosmetic differences. WCW had 2 Cruiserweight belts, Men's and Women's. To address 3: No, the WCW TV belt was not a bootleg Hogan 86, though the ECW TV Title V1 by Mike Vartanian was and v2 was a bootleg Winged Eagle.

Indeed. With Maryse's, the inset is smooth, but the font of the text still shows as JMar's (Futura font) instead of PMM's (Helvetica font), which means they must've still had a bunch of JMar belts to get rid of, perhaps.  It's also worth noting that the version of the Retro IC's texture-map used in the 2k games for ALL the "Classic Intercontinental" belts is actually a modified version of JMar's version that Cody Rhodes debuted and not the PMM version that came after that. Most of the Retro IC belts bundled with figures like Maryse and Ultimate Warrior are actually the JMar version as well, for some reason. For comparison, the modern IC belt in figure form is still the JMar, even though in reality WWE replaced it with a PMM shortly after Cody debuted it:  Whereas both light-blue and dark-blue classic IC Elite belts are the correct PMM design:  .JPG) |

I would definitely like to see more ECW flashbacks in general. We barely get any. As far as wcw titles go... I’d want the TV title, US title, and wcw tag titles.
