The Undisputed Champion. It was compressed and beautiful.

Do an entire series on belts, this is so fascinating. The histories, the reasons behind designs, behind design changes, belts being destroyed, lots to talk about.

Ok now let's find the culprit to who thought it was a good idea to have most of wwe's championships look EXACTLY like the wwe champion

Not only that, but it’s literally their 4 most important titles. IMO, Edge should’ve brought back the world heavyweight title if he won, keep the title, and find some other designs for the women’s championships

I sort of get the women's title looking like the men's title, but coloured differently. NXT does that very well. But they did need to make them look different between brands

I think it was Shane’s idea personal. It’s been well documented that he’s a mma mark. Even wanted to buy the ufc at one point. And in ufc for a while all their championships designs were the same exact design for each division. So maybe he or someone saw that pitched it to Vince

I think the idea behind all 4 belts looking the same is that they're all equal to each other. The (Raw) Women's Champion became the first to copy the WWE Championship so basically that it's the women's version of the WWE Champion. The Universal Champion copied that being that it was Raw's version(at the time) of the WWE Champion. Then Smackdown Women's champion was just the blue version of the Raw Women's champion.

Laurie killed me when he made the Fable reference. I love this historical deep dives.

From after WrestleMania 18 to after WrestleMania 21, it was around. If the spinner belt was only used for John Cena, the Undisputed title should've been around longer until 2013. Then it would've lasted around 11 years

Wrestling Belts are easily one of the best things about pro wrestling. Just something about the way they look and feel; its awesome. Its a trophy that you wear as if it were a fancy piece of clothing or even a crown. Adorned around the waist; shining bright and looking somewhat garish, making the champion feel like a superhero. And whether it is worn, carried on the shoulder, in the hands, or held under the arm at the side like the NWA Champions of the 80s; it makes whomever is carrying that much more important than anyone else. It truly symbolises the weight that a champion carries at all times. Sure it might only be 10 or 20 pounds of gold (or silver or bronze), but what a title symbolises could be the heaviest thing these men and women ever carry. Sometimes, too heavy. Awesome video, Laurie.

Man Laurie's explained videos are so underrated compared to Luke's actually good and Adam's top 10s. I just wanted to say I love these videos and expect even more entertaining stuff. 👍👍

Man, that moment of Bianca Belair trying with all her might not to cry before the match even starts. I get emotional every time I see it.

Then Daniel Bryan makes his out of hemp and Riddle’s heart explodes out of his chest! Lol

This is the video that I never knew I wanted.

This was a brilliant little video! I loved the short, fascinating dive both into history and the making of the belts. Didn't go into the topic too deep, but still covered everything you needed to know to understand why they're so important. I wasn't aware of this video series before, will definitely come back for more!

“How WWE championships are made and their History” _Proceeds to put Impact and AEW championships in the thumbnail_

I think my favorite belt of all time was the original IC title. But as far as WWE goes this most recent iteration of the WWE championship of both Men's and Women's variants have seen so much new representation it's hard to not to love what they mean. I know a lot of folks don't care for its design, though.

What a great, short documentary on the history of belts. Very well executed, very interesting. Top marks! More of these, please.

I worked for a fiber optical company called NORLAND PRODUCTS based out of New Jersey, from 2004-2010, and we made special adhesives for different electronics and under ground fiber optical equipment. WWE used our adhesives for attaching little red rubbies & diamonds ♦️💎 onto their belts. Between all the travel, and hitting people in the face with them, they would regularly fall off and need replacement, so we designed a special adhesive for them. As a life long wrestling fan I always thought that was pretty cool.

I love these quick little info videos! They're so informative and Laurie does a great job at explaining it all! Thanks PFK we love you. ❤️

Excellent research and editing in this video. Thank you and congratulations.

Great video. Really enjoyed!

Solid stuff as usual, commenting as I'm watching. Thanks for the hard work guys.

I didn’t expect to watch this whole thing but great job 👏🏽. I enjoyed this .

This was a very interesting video. Good work!

Good video on a very interesting subject. Great job Laurie!

Awesome video Laurie. White IC belt was my favourite belt!

Great video, was quite fascinating to learn the history behind championships!!

This video was well done. Very informative and entertaining.

Very informative! Thank you!

Laurie, thanks for this video. It's great to learn the history of these title belts.

This is weird because a couple days I actually wondered why wrestling uses belts not enough to research it but I asked the question.

Really interesting video, thanks guys

Keep up the great work! Love the channel!!!

This was really good and well done

Love videos like this keep up the good work guys

Fantastic video! Really interesting history.

These videos are so insightful that I can't help but love them. Between Adam's Top 10s and this, I'm basically glued to my PC's screen when they appear.

This was an awesome episode, Laurie! I remember being five years old and a kid in my class brought in his toy WWF Winged Eagle belt and defended it against me, I lost by count out but I wanted more! It was the first step in me becoming a huge wrestling fan!

What a fantastic documentary. Well done, friend. Well done.

This was awesome!!!

This was so good! I never thought about learning the history of belts. But you guys presented it in such an interesting idea, that I loved it!

This was truly fun. Thanks!

That was an amazing experience, thanks so much!!

The big Gold belt needs to make a comeback. It's personally my favorite wrestling belt!

It is always so fun to take a look at the standards we all accept without much question and dive into their origins. You always manage to present it in an informative and interesting way.

I have dabbled PFK content in the past but this video made me subscribe. I’ve researched this stuff myself out of shear interest. The writing was great, presentation, video accompaniment and editing. Wonderful!

I was actually wondering where title belts come from and then you uploaded this lol This was a great vid. Much appreciated

This was genuinely fascinating. I had never really thought about why we have belts, and it's super cool to know that even in this modern era, that they are lovingly hand crafted. Makes me appreciate those belts so much more, even if I didnt/don't particularly like some of the designs. Great video as always, keep em coming you beautiful people!

Great video ... enjoyed it tremendously. Would love a follow up or two, maybe more liked or least favorite belts

Genuinely as a belt fan and collector this is one of your best videos across all platforms Truly appreciate this deep dive into the origins of Championship Belts Learned quite a few things 😌

That was fun, nice job.

Great job Laurie!

Lovely work sire

This is a brilliant series, always well worth watching.

i would like a part 2 on this, was so engrossed i dednt realise that 15 min had passed

I've never thought about learning about the origins and creation of Wrestling Title belts. Thank you for this video!!

Don't forget the Big Gold Title Belt was also for a short time known as the WCW International World Heavyweight Wrestling Title Belt shortly after WCW got it back from Ric Flair after he took it to WWE on till it was then unified with the WCW World Heavyweight Wrestling Title Belt and then the Big Gold Title Belt was then again used as the WCW World Heavyweight Wrestling Title Belt

This is great!

Wow this was just a nice simple reminder of humble beginnings. I hope the dub dub E see this video and reconsider the current top belts and remember that it's supposed to be an item that makes a performer beem with pride and not just carrying a giant logo. Good job guys, this was a fun one 👍

Great video.

Laurie’s videos are the thinking fan’s wrestling content, and I love every single one of them

Great job, Laurie!

That was a awesome video

Excellent video! My favorite belt of all time is the "BIG GOLD" WCW/World Heavyweight Championship. Has a classic, trophy prestige look to it. Current favorite is the AEW World Championship. The split 3 center medallions to make one large medallion looks unique and has that feel like the WHC does.

As a long time pro wrestling fan, I didn't know alot of this history. Fascinating, thank you.

amazing video

Very Nice

my favorit is Big Gold! grew up with WCW and fell in love with it. I think the AEW HW Belt took quite a bit of inspiration from Big Gold

In my opinión, the winged eagle is the best belt ever.

El Fakidor! I was watching NJPW yesterday & thought exactly what you just said in the opening, why does wrestling use belts in the first place?! I look forward to finding out as I watch another of your deep dives.

More of these please...

Laurie has been doing the lords work with these documentaries
