#1 The Big Gold Belt
The Big Gold Belt was born mired in controversy. In mid-1991, it replaced the NWA World Championship belt as WCW’s main title, the WCW World Heavyweight Championship when the NWA and WCW had a brief split. Ric Flair took the belt with him when he left WCW for the WWF in 1991 but WCW eventually got the title belt back, but not before creating a new version of the title when WCW officially split from the NWA banner for good in 1992.

The Big Gold Belt represented the fictional WCW International promotion and was defended as the WCW International World Heavyweight Championship before being unified with the WCW World Heavyweight Championship in 1994. The Big Gold belt would become the officially recognized title, and continued as WCW’s title until it was bought out by Vince McMahon in 2001.
The design continued to be used until it was phased out in 2002 and the Undisputed Title was created, but later returned (in altered form) and was used all the way until its eventual retirement in 2014. Used for over 20 years, no major championship has stood the test of time like the Big Gold Belt.
