The winged eagle WWE title made it's debut after a WM tournament.
The Attitude Era title made it's debut after tournament before and during Survivor Series 98.
Also the Smoking Skull Belt made it's debut when Austin was the champ.
The Undisputed belt made it's debut when Ric Flair awarded it to Triple H after WM18.
The current spinner debuted After Cena won the belt at WM21, and just started using it instead the the Undiputed title. But the undisputed title was used when JBL claimed to be "The Real WWE Champion" ad also when Angle was going to be awarded the title by Bischoff.
Also Edge has his own Rated R version of the Spinner.
So, my question is, if we do get a new WWE title, seeing as a lot of people don't like the current one, do you think it is going to be in a tournament or will it just be awarded to the next new WWE champion?

Actually the Winged Eagle made it's debut the night Hogan "lost" the championship to Andre.
The Attitude Title made it's debut the night after WM 14 on Raw.

So you just took some people's opinion over the title and think that there will be a tournament for a new belt?
No. I dont think that will happen at all.

I've been wanting to see a new title for awhile.

Get ready to see the Spinner for a long time. With a lot of the suits loving it, and with the new belt that's locked and with the shorter strap with silver end tip, that belt will stay for a good while. Even if they do change it, it'll be very diificult to top the shine that the Spinner has. I'm assuming that, through the eyes of the WWE, it would be more of a huge downgrade if they go back to a basic design.

It's good marketing, that thing is profitable. I can't see them getting rid of it for awhile, not while we're still in the Age of Cena.

I thinking of the best idea. Make a TOTAL new one that looks classy and one you can look up to but the side plates should be Superstar personalised plates. Like Edge with Rated R symbols, Undertaker with TX and The Death Crew logo, HHH with KOK & Crosses.

They should really make a LARGE WWE world title (WCW title/Attitude Title size) thats Gold and "Platinum" Theres always been a belt thats 10lbs of gold or 20 lbs of gold but just think of a world title thats Gold, Platinum and Diamonds. A world title worth "millions" (but not the million dollar belt lol)
My ideal look for that title would be.......
-Rounded like the Attitude world title -5 Golden plates (4 sides and the main) -The Main plate is Gold and has a platinum eagle with diamonds or rubies on the tip of the eagles wings. The eagle would look like its hovering above the world (which of course would be blue/gold) There would be diamonds going around the outside of the belt all the way around. The WWE emblem would be at the top (like the old belts) World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion would be spelled out in diamonds. -The Furtherest outside plates on the belt would list all the former WWE champions in order. The 2 Inside plates would be of the earth

It diminishes the "value" of the championship. They just need to make one new belt to replace the horrible one they have now and keep it around for at least another ten years.

Get rid of the spinning bull-s**t, change Champ to Champion, and change the side plate that says mon-night RAW, and it would be a really cool belt. Oh and don't give it to Cena...ever.

As has already been stated, the Winged Eagle debuted on February 5th 1988, almost 2 months before the Wrestlemania 4 tournament.
Hogan debuted it, Andre won it then surrendered it DiBiase, and DiBiase actually wore that belt to house shows for about 2 weeks and was announced as the WWF Champion. Until Tunney made the announcement that the title was vacant.
Go to online world of wrestling's website. Look at DiBiase's profile. They have a picture of him wearing the winged eagle from a house show.

Yes because the spinning hubcap on a leather strap is soooo wonderful ....Simply a standard belt like the Winged eagle/attitude era/ or Undisputed isnt gonna make it anymore no matter how bad we want it. They HAVE to have something flashy and marketable but at the same time make somewhat less ghetto and put prestige into it

The belt changes to signify change in the company, a new era, so to speak. This is the youthful, kid aimed, John Cena era. When we get a new set of main eventers and WWE starts pushing to a new audience, then they'll alter the belt to suit what they're doing. The current belt looks great, anyway. Im one of those people who can see past the Cena-relation on the belt (even though i dont blindly hate Cena like most people). You guys act as though Cena spent weeks at home drawing that thing up and hand making it himself. The belt looks cool. I'm not fond of the spin when anyone except cena has it (cos he's the one with the rapper gimmick, but its cool, cos they locked it now anyway) but the belt is really nice looking. I do like the 'undisputed' design too, though. But I dont see it ever coming back. I believe the last time it was seen was when Bischoff awarded it to Angle?

The spinning belt is garbage. They should've gotten rid of it as soon as Orton won the championship.

IMHO, if the WWE wants to keep the Spinner design, they should just make a few alterations to the current design to make it a bit more generic for any champion to hold:
- Keep the short strap with the silver end tip to keep it wearable - Keep the WWE logo locked on the main plate - Replace the diamond-encrusted "CHAMP" with "CHAMPION" on the main plate - Replace the "MON NITE RAW" side plate with a second "WWE CHAMPION" sideplate, flipping the eagle on the second plate
