--I edited the text of this page, seeing as though the belt in question (or the WWE alternative) is actually defended on Smackdown, as opposed to Raw.

Ric Flair
Not sure if it means much, but Ric Flair said in a episode of WWE Confidential that the belt that WWE has is in fact the original and is not a replica. ---SilentRAGE! 15:08, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
- I remember that as well. Don't really have the sources to back it up, so I can't put it in the article, but from my understanding, the original Big Gold belt, which has been repaired a few times, is in WWE headquarters in CT.
- The one Hogan kept after Bash at the Beach 2000 was the copy made for "Ready to Rumble," which they had gold plated in order to have a spare. This was done after they actually couldn't find the original belt for an hour backstage once, and realized a spare might be a good idea.
- Flair also has a copy, but his is slightly different, as its the one from the "real world's title" angle. It is the one that was digitally blurred on TV, but to live audiences looks pretty close. It's on Reggie parks belt site [1]. It can also bee seen in the photograph section of Flair's book.
- And there's the current version, used on SmackDown!, which has the WWE logo on it.
- If anyone can dig up better, more complete sources than my memory, then I'd love to see this in the article. I'll work on it myself, as well, of course. oknazevad 16:13, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
I know the original belt had the top portion of the main plate bent slightly forward. I dont know if this was repaired or not, but the belt currently held by Batista is definitely not the original.MFuture 17:19, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
