Actual Debut

The actual debut wasn't a February 22 episode of World Championship Wrestling. It actually debuted on a February 14, 1986 Florida show called Battle of The Belts II where Ric Flair defended the NWA World Title against Barry Windham. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.106.110.147 (talk) 20:54, 7 March 2011 (UTC)

  • Oppose from me seeing as this isn't a Championship its a Belt.--SteamIron 10:48, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
  • Oppose. This article is not about a championship. This article is about the belt, which has represented multiple championships. oknazevad talk 16:43, 10 March 2011(UTC)
  • Oppose per above comments. The article is about the belt that has represented multiple championships. It isn't an actual championship itself. 22:36, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
  • Support. WWE owns the Big Gold thing, its history, its heritage, and its definition. if WWE dislikes the term "belt", we should reflect this. WCW Fan 2000 (talk) 07:25, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
Its a belt not a Championship. The belt it self has represented many championship but has never be a Championship in itself.--SteamIron 07:50, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
But under current WWE terminology the word "belt" has been replaced by "championship:. And the belt/championship/whatever is owned by WWE, adn that's how they refer to it. WCW Fan 2000 (talk) 07:53, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
Still this is a Belt not a championship and it doesnt matter what wwe calls it they have no say here.--SteamIron 08:24, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
While you're right Dcheagle, its not even about that. What it ultimately comes down to is that this is not the WWE encyclopedia. We are not WWE centric as we try to maintain a neutral point of view. An example of this is that while WWE removes all references pertaining to the WWF trademark, we do not. Thus there was never a valid point to NXT Fan's or WCW Fan 2000's argument - two accounts that are clearly operated by a single user. 02:13, 19 March 2011 (UTC)

WWE history claims

WWE claims they own the history of the Big Gold Belt? That's hilarious. They may own all the video tape history and they own WCW which the belt used to represent, but for 7 1/2 years it represented the NWA World Heavyweight Championship. WWE does not own that. MrNWA4Life 10:11, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
No, they (correctly) claim they own the copyright and trademark to the design (which was owned by Crockett, and WCW as their successor, not the NWA) and the WCW title history since 1991.
