    They give them physical belts for title defenses?

    Before, they got a new belt for each title defense yes. Now they get a ruby in the one belt

    True to an extent, but the new belts in general look lame af compared to the old ones. Also, there is still something more epic about tonnes of belts over some ruby's you can barely see. His 16 belt pic is iconic. No Champ has a pic like that with the new belt that so perfectly encapsulates a historic title run.
