Pssst... ...all of the belts are accessories... You must not know me or my views on Championship Title Belts very well. I can't tell if this is one of those "don't you know who I am" moments.  |

Crazy thing is I'd bet they've already sold a surprisingly high number of them.

Crazy thing is I'd bet they've already sold a surprisingly high number of them. Someone on BeltTalk said they sold 8 of them (I never question insider information). So if I had to guess, the people who bought them are: Irwin R. Schyster, Bo Dallas, Mika (Bray's and Bo's sister), Bray's wife, 1 each for Bray's 3 kids, and of course, Kerosene Sapphire. |

A) Nobody said "forced". B) Both of them were presumably being hyperbolic about what it would take for the price tag to be worth it for them. C) There are enough things in this world to be genuinely offended by without looking for it in places where it wasn't intended. Institutionalized prejudices don't require intent to be harmful. Newsted has basically crafted himself into WF's resident teenage horndog. It's pretty evident from his daily lusting over Toni Storm that he thinks women he finds attractive exist solely to serve his (distant) sexual gratification. Putting a "price" on that, comparative to a handcrafted piece of material is absolutely harmful, and people calling skeeze buckets out like him for it definitely shouldn't be painted into the corner of fault because ItS jUsT a HyPeRbOlIc JoKe YoU gUyZ. The fact that others began piggybacking off of his sh*t just goes to show how ingrained this process of thought is. I have no time for Newsted. In fact, I have him blocked because I find him to be a petulant windbag who trolls simply for the sake of it, but I was also not sworn in to be a member of the thought police. This statement is not a new one. "Oh, it costs HOW much? That better come with a happy ending." Hyperbole exists. Just because we live in the era of woke cancel culture doesn't change that fact. And everyone who purports to staunchly support this is going to be in for a rude awakening when one wrong statement puts them in the sights of an internet lynch mob. |

"Better come with a happy ending" is a statement that, while infantile, doesn't assign a role of expectation to anyone based upon distinguishing factors. "Better come with a kiss from Alexa" or "Better come with Toni Storm naked" is sh*tty, passe, and should be called out as such without being denigrated as a "flavor of the month" reaction because it's in contrast to behaviors that aren't "new" and, as such, have become ingrained as acceptable. There's nothing wrong with expecting better of others. |

Even for a gimmick belt, I think it looks like something a 9 year-old would create on the latest WWE video game.
Pretty terrible, but if people got that Virgil fu*k money, who am I to dictate its worth?
This may be a subliminal ploy by WWE to finally get me to pull the trigger on a classic Winged Eagle belt though. After seeing the price on Bray's title, $350 isn't looking too shabby.

Putting a price tag to a female, and her body instantly shows how somebody views a woman.

It's cool looking, but a bit too on the nose for my liking. Something other than the giant Fiend face would have probably worked better. But regardless, I would never spend that much on any championship. Hell I've never bought any that didn't have a foam strap and came with a exclusive figure.
