My Top 10 Favorite Championship Belt Designs
My Opinion Only
Tere are titles that are good and titles that are bad. Everything is subjective and I know not everyone will agree with this one. My name is Jared Weathers and this is my top 10 favorite titles. Before we start, if you like this video, subscribe because I have more on the way. Let’s go.
10. ECW Tag Team Titles- I love the original ECW’s titles. Looking so different from either WWF or WCW at the time. With a saw blade around the ECW logo, while WWF had an eagle and WCW recycling the globe. Not the greatest tag titles but one I really like.
9. ROH World Championship (2010- 2017)- One of the best World Championships, this design isn’t to busy. Not huge but big enough to get the point across that it is a world title. With a wrestling ring instead of a globe it makes it stand out.
8. NWA United States Championship- The original title looks bad now but unique nonetheless. Having the entire continental United States as the front plate was an interesting idea. The red strap isn’t used anymore and we might see another US title on here later.
7. WWE Diva’s Championship- Okay hold on. I know this title is not liked but I do have a rebuttal for this. It is interesting and the only belt at the time that looked different. I understand the legacy it has cultivated but nevertheless, it should be looked upon as revolutionary for the time.
6. WWE Intercontinental Championship (11-19)- This IC title is a redesign of the 1980’s/90’s IC belt with a white strap instead of black. Cody Rhodes introduced this title after the Hell In A Cell 2011 Pay-Per-View. It was also eye-catching.
5. NWA World’s Heavyweight Championship- The 10 pounds of gold is the most respected or at least was for a very long time. With a lineage starting back in the early 1900’s and surviving TNA, this belt has seen a lot. All of the country flags makes it stand out and a little globe instead of the big globe we usually see.
4. WCW United States Championship- From the red strap to a black strap and a new design. One of the better US title designs, with a modified US Flag and an eagle on the front. WCW emblazoned on the top and using the original WCW type. This version was used in the Invasion storyline and was retired until a redesigned US title became property of Smackdown in 2003 as a part of the first WWE Brand Extension or WWE Draft.
3. AEW TNT Title- Now this might be recency bias but the three different versions of the TNT title we have gotten so far are the best of the AEW titles. From the original silver to the gold trimmed to Miro’s Bulgarian flag version. No matter how it looks, it’s still the best looking belt on All Elite Wrestling television, even in 2025.
2. WWE World Heavyweight Championship (2014- Present)- The best WWE/WWF World Heavyweight Championship ever made. The logo of the company with World Heavyweight Championship around the W. The ability to have custom side plates is the best thing that makes it stick out more. No other World Championship allows this even in WWE’s catalog of world titles. However this isn’t the best world title.
1- IWGP Heavyweight Championship- This lineage dates back to June 12th, 1987. Not nearly as long as the NWA or WWE championships. However, I believe the case can be made for the prestidge to be just as high if not higher. While I do like this title throughout the years my favorite version is the brand new as of July 28th, 2021, the IWGP World Heavyweight Championship.

Restructuring the NFL
We have not added a new NFL team or a new State to the Union in a long time, but let's focus on the NFL. So, we should add 8 more teams to the NFL to make it 40, take two of the games from the pre-season and make them regular season games, realign the divisions to make them make more sense. Let's dive into the pre-season games.

Alex Eala
Tennis has always been a sport where stories of discipline, sacrifice, and quiet resilience shape champions long before trophies do. In recent years, one name has steadily gained international attention for embodying those qualities with grace and ambition: Alex Eala. Still early in her professional journey, Eala represents more than individual success. She symbolizes a shift in global tennis, where talent now rises from regions once considered outside the sport’s traditional power centers. From junior Grand Slam glory to appearances on the professional tour, Eala’s path reflects patience, planning, and belief. Her performances, including moments connected to tournaments like the Auckland Open and the ASB Classic, show a player learning to translate promise into lasting impact. Early Foundations of a Rising Star Alex Eala’s story begins with a strong foundation built on family support and access to elite training. Unlike many players who rise through local circuits alone, Eala’s development was guided by a long-term vision. That vision led her to the Rafa Nadal Academy, an environment known for shaping technically sound and mentally strong athletes. At the academy, Eala refined her baseline game, improved her court movement, and learned how to compete with intention rather than emotion. These lessons were evident in her junior career, where she achieved milestones that placed her among the most promising young players of her generation. What stood out was not only her results but her composure. Eala played with a maturity that suggested she understood tennis as a marathon, not a sprint. Junior Success and Global Recognition Eala’s junior achievements opened doors to the international tennis spotlight. Winning major junior titles placed her name alongside players who would later become tour regulars. For many fans, this was the first time they encountered Alex Eala, and it quickly became clear she was not just another short-term prospect. Her left-handed style added variety to her game, creating angles that disrupted opponents. Combined with strong court awareness, this made her matches engaging to watch and difficult to predict. Junior success, however, is only a stepping stone, and Eala approached the professional transition with measured expectations. Rather than rushing into high-pressure events, she balanced growth with experience, a strategy that often separates sustainable careers from fleeting hype. Stepping Into the Professional Arena The move from juniors to the professional circuit can be unforgiving. Higher intensity, physical demands, and mental pressure test even the most gifted athletes. For Alex Eala, this transition has been deliberate rather than dramatic. She has taken part in ITF and WTA-level events, gaining experience against seasoned players. Each match has contributed to her understanding of pace, consistency, and endurance at the professional level. Losses have been treated as lessons, and victories as confirmation of progress. Events connected to the Auckland Open and the ASB Classic are particularly meaningful in this phase. These tournaments attract a competitive field while still offering young players exposure to high-quality opposition. For Eala, participation in such events represents an opportunity to measure herself against established professionals. Auckland Open and ASB Classic: Learning on a Bigger Stage The ASB Classic, held in Auckland, is more than just a warm-up event for the tennis season. It has a reputation for blending experienced tour players with emerging talent. Competing in or around the Auckland Open environment allows players like Eala to experience elite tournament structures, media attention, and crowd energy. For a young athlete, these elements matter. They teach how to manage nerves, expectations, and recovery over consecutive matches. Even brief appearances in such tournaments contribute significantly to development. Alex Eala’s connection with events like the ASB Classic highlights her gradual integration into the professional ecosystem. Each appearance adds confidence and clarity about what needs improvement, whether it is serve consistency, shot selection, or physical conditioning. Style of Play and Competitive Identity Eala’s game is built around controlled aggression. She prefers constructing points rather than rushing winners, relying on precision and movement. Her left-handed forehand remains one of her most effective weapons, creating angles that pull opponents off the court. Equally important is her defensive awareness. Eala often turns defense into offense, a trait that reflects her disciplined training background. While power tennis dominates many modern matches, her style emphasizes balance and adaptability. As she continues to evolve, adding strength and depth to her serve and net play will likely be key areas of focus. These improvements often come with time, experience, and physical maturity. Representation and Inspiration Beyond the Court Alex Eala’s rise carries significance beyond rankings and results. She represents hope for aspiring players from underrepresented regions, proving that access to global stages is possible with commitment and support. Her journey inspires younger athletes to believe that tennis is not limited by geography. Every appearance she makes, whether in major tournaments or developmental events, reinforces the idea that talent can emerge from anywhere. This broader impact gives Eala a unique position in the sport. She is not only building her own career but also helping expand tennis’s global narrative. The Road Ahead The future for Alex Eala remains open and full of possibility. Tennis careers are shaped over years, not seasons, and her measured approach suggests a focus on longevity rather than quick success. Continued participation in international tournaments, including those linked to the Auckland Open and ASB Classic, will provide valuable benchmarks for growth. As rankings fluctuate and competition intensifies, the true test will be consistency and resilience. Based on her journey so far, Eala appears well-equipped for both. Final Thoughts Alex Eala’s story is still being written, but its early chapters reveal a player grounded in discipline, learning, and quiet confidence. From junior triumphs to professional challenges, she has approached each step with intention. In a sport where pressure can derail even the brightest prospects, Eala’s calm progression stands out. Whether competing in global events like the ASB Classic or continuing her steady rise through the tour, Alex Eala represents a future built on patience, skill, and belief. For tennis fans watching the next generation take shape, her journey is one worth following closely.

Tipping My Hat, or Rather, Hats to You
Baseball hats---let's talk about them. You probably have at least one in your home and wear it. I have seven Texas Rangers hats in total, and the last one is the most recent one from August 2025. Technically, I have eight, but I'll explain that one near the end of this story. New Era has been the official baseball cap supplier since 1993. The company was founded in 1920 by Ehrhardt Koch. 59Fifty Day is celebrated annually on May 9 to honor the iconic fitted baseball cap. Many people collect baseball caps as a hobby and as a devoted hathead myself, this has been a new hobby of mine after retiring from cosplay in 2024. I do plan on buying more and have no plans on stopping anytime soon. I'll be highlighting some of my favorite Rangers caps and they're not in any particular order.
