I was staying in Taiwan with my dad last year and the hotel was showing matches like Shinsuke vs Kota on free TV. He had never watched much wrestling, but I had fun explaining it to him and we got to bond over that. :)
@@disclaimer.imjokin well if you don't mind factually incorrect content, then fair enough. The question was asked about the new stars over the coming years and Steve gave the distinct impression that Rhea was probably less likely due to her age, which I am sure that a casual listener would take to mean that Trick was younger. If you knew differently then fair enough, but this is a question being answered rather than just being conversational.
@WrestleJuice Never forget! The Winged Eagle debuted during the first time WWF did a prime time special on NBC, The Main Event in 1988. Hulk Hogan lost the title that night for the very first time in the most shocking finish in wrestling history. Cody wearing that same belt in prime time on NBC is foreshadowing!
@jrod2510 Then why do they sell them on the WWE Shop website? The late Reggie Parks was commissioned by the WWF to create this belt. People who are outright paid by a company to create a belt for them don't hold ownership over that creation. It would be like you hiring a guy to build you a garage, but then 20 years later he gets to own the garage again because he built it. It's not how that works.
@@jrod2510 Reggie Parks is dead. His family does not own the rights to this belt. I searched the internet using Reggie Park's name and the "Winged Eagle Belt". There is absolutely nothing that backs up your claim that WWE doesn't own this belt. You are making it up. If you have an article that says otherwise, then show me.
I'm a new subscriber as of this August to the GIR multiverse and one of the first series I went into your backlog to watch was your 2K23 My GM series with Enforcer. I still go back and watch those because it never fails to make me laugh. Hunter always did him and NXT 2.0 dirty haha
To me the next number 1 guy could have been Dragunov. In NXT he was the man. He was a guy who could put on good matches, wasn't bad on the mic and could play face or heel. Though lets be honest here... it really should have been Chad Gable. How they managed to mess that up I have no idea.
I really think Oba could be one of the best guys they have in future. I never got the winged eagle it just wasnt one i grew up with personally. My favourite is the the Undisputed Title they had from 2002-2005 thats my favourite one and i will say nothing has been better since especially not the spinner title
Made it to 4:39 HOPING you would quickly mention Montez Ford. 😭 Ford is so charismatic and fun to watch. Haven't seen his and Bianca's reality show but I assume he'd be a great company face. Him and Bianca could be the WWE power couple after Seth and Becky
I would love to see KO win in a dusty finish and then run off with the Winged Eagle and show up with it in the future claiming to be the real champion.
Cody should get a custom title that is inspired by the Winged Eagle but also taking some elements of the American Nightmare estetic if he makes it to a year with the title.
I think fans are more liable to turn on a pushed performer and get bored faster if they’re not good in ring. That’s not to say the company will stop pushing them, but I think in the modern era it’s much harder to be a sustained main eventer while lacking in the ring
I could see a network pick up TNA if they gained more attention, especially now that WWE is on Netflix (except NXT on CW). Maybe if TNA is purchased by WWE or pulled under their umbrella, they'll get a network slot.
I think the World Title should be more like the Winged Eagle and WCW title.. Universal should be WWE logo.. I've always kinda wished there were weight classes and also belts that do not require weight class.. Like Rey Mysterio should be able to be The World Champ or WWE Champ.. But Rey cannot be Heavyweight Champ
In the not too distant future expert Rhea to be the first female WWE Heavyweight Champion, they aaallllmost booked Chyna but I really think it's gonna be Rhea
Yea that was the best one for me....the attitude era.....rock stone cold triple h undertaker kurt angle kane Chris jericho mankind all wore that title........
Other companies have done that and putting the men's world title on a woman just doesn't work. All she needs is a memorable feud hot enough to main event one night at WrestleMania in a match for the women's title and voilà. Now I'd be down seeing her have a match against Dirty Dom, that would be fun, seeing her wrestle guys can work well for her as a character.
@@rootpower8664 Hear me out: Dom wins MitB next year, cashes in and wins the title, and the person to take the belt off him? Rhea Bloody Ripley. Tell me that wouldn't be good content.
Should the Winged Eagle stay?, fucking absolutely Will it stay?, not a fucking chance sadly. WWE only care about 3 things, 1. Money (the type of money that fans can’t give), 2. Business and 3. Marketing So WWE would rather have their belts be a marketing ploy with massive WWE logos on them than actually be a nice wrestling belt.
This is definitely a #HOTTAKE but I honestly think the “winged eagle” belt is massively overrated and entirely liked purely based on nostalgia. The title belts we have today look better. It’s a relic of the past and that’s precisely what it should remain as. An old, out of date design.
6:13 I think they will within the next year or so. When The Rock is back I think they’ll loop in Triple H in some way. 6:55 I’ve been the same way with him. He’s soured for me. Just not that good and he’s just fake, man.
It’s hard for me to believe that WWE will make a black MALE wrestlers as the face of the company on the main roster. WWE does not have the history of booking black MALE talent on the MAIN ROSTER as top level guy.
The only person that deserves the winged eagle belt is Seth Rollins Got this idea Seth wins the title as the ultimate Babyface then the night after he wins he talks a honor and being a fighting champ week after week he's defending and winning giving everyone a shot in 20 minutes bangers then about 2 months in Seth just becomes the greatest asshole heel it's going to be on Netflix I want Seth blowing up cars I want him being the biggest jerk imagine Seth the egomaniac goes in a feud with Carmelo Hayes and Seth breaks into his house and leaves a statue of himself in Carmelo living room
Trick Williams = Cena/Hogan, Bron Breakker = Batista/Macho Man They'll both be equally prominent and dominant in kayfabe, but Trick will do better business.
I am so ashamed that I watch a show for anybody that prefers the current ugly disgusting disgrace of a WWE championship over the greatest title ever the wind eagle!! you are wrong Steve. You’re absolutely wrong.
I mean he has the wrestling ability but does he has the aura and will he be able to draw....plus in order for him to be the man he has to defeat most of the top stars today.....roman...punk...cody...drew...seth...est....just like cody had to go through seth...brock and roman...he got earn his dues just all before him
Bit of a tear jerker at the end. We'll always love Enforcer. RIP to the Legend 🙏
Lucha Underground is a hard yes from me but only seasons 1-3. Season 4 was rough with a lot of talent having left.
Also, RIP Enforcer, we miss you ❤

Worth remembering Rhea is younger than Trick.
Yeah Rhea first popped into WWE at 19. She's still a few years from 30.
Wasn't worth it at all.. who cares

Why does everyone call it the winged eagle? Have you ever seen an eagle without wings?
Yeah, there is a whole football team. None of them even have feathers.😐It’s pretty disappointing.
Think it's because when Austin got the new title it was circular and the wings didn't protrude as much
No, I haven’t. But I have seen a shaved bear.
Desert eagle don't have wings but they still call it eagle 😂
You have ever seen a real zombie turn into a wrestler?
Rip Enforcer ❤
RIP Enforcer. Forever Big Red Champ #81E
I'd want for the WWE Championship to be redesigned for it to include A winged eagle, and not have it be the winged eagle
The enforcer is dearly missed
Thumbnail question at 8:08 :)
This man still not giving up on WCW Netflix 😂
@@mrwrestlingjr9820 hahahaha never!!
They should make a modern winged eagle similar to the modern WHC

No, it's not. WWE doesnt hold the license for the winged eagle design anymore.

They shouldnt have said one night only and then have Owens destroy the winged eagle belt with a hammer for maximum heat 🔥

Cody should get a custom title that is inspired by the Winged Eagle but also taking some elements of the American Nightmare estetic if he makes it to a year with the title.
"Ooh, what if they do a Cody Rhodes winged eagle signature series title? I'm not gonna get that one.""
Steve already in denial.
I think in ring work has become far more important in recent years.
But I think Trick will get there regardless.
No, it’s about character and promo work.
Character and promo work >>>>>>>>>>> In ring work
I assume what we end up getting will be like the next heavyweight belt where it will be a winged eagle variant with a W crest somewhere.
How funny would it be for him to bring back the eagle anf then instantly lose to Owens.
Austin theory is also someone who could be the face
I think fans are more liable to turn on a pushed performer and get bored faster if they’re not good in ring. That’s not to say the company will stop pushing them, but I think in the modern era it’s much harder to be a sustained main eventer while lacking in the ring

No, it hasn't been used in 25 years. 🎶 Leave those memories alone 🎶
Can't wait for the swerve and the belt is a Cody tattoo spinner belt
Get the belt, get the belt Steve 🏆!!
I can't believe it's already been a year and half since we lost Enforcer

Legit thought you were about to sing the MST3K song
@WrestleJuice in a not too distant future , Dirty Dom and his Street Trash pals 🎵🎶☄️🚀🗑️
Of course it should’ve never left
Breaker or Oba is the next one.
I like the network logo title. Just wish they get rid of the yellow and go back to the black
What if its not the Winged Eagle but the title that Dusty had in the Picture?
I'd rather see the '98-'02 WWE championship come back
Yea that was the best one for me....the attitude era.....rock stone cold triple h undertaker kurt angle kane Chris jericho mankind all wore that title........
Why are we talking about this now, it should've switched after Wrestle Mania, or even when the "New" WCW big gold belt was brought back, but why now
The winged eagle should've never gone away. Just like the white strap IC title..
But the Big Eagle and Undisputed are really nice belts.
And the Oval IC was a nice belt as well.
Hot take: Rhea not only could be the next #1 guy, but should be the first woman to win either the World Championship or Universal Championship.

Yes it should.
Steve's gonna buy a new belt then.
Should it stay ?
Do bears shit in the woods?
I love trick .. but I hate his gimmick now ... Hes too nice right now
The next #1 guy should be Dom
☝️'s up for The Enforcer
From what little I've seen Trick is just gonna be another guy. Same with Melo.
The hater is an actual person
Don't all eagles have wings??
Friday Night Nitro
Never understood the selling toys argument. Even a kid me would choose the cool belt with a eagle on it than the mcdonalds belt.
What is the deal with you people? For the umpteenth time ... WWE NO. LONGER. HOLDS. THE. LICENSE. FOR. THE. WINGED. EAGLE. BELT. DESIGN.
I’ll believe it when I see it: WWE making a black person the face of the company
I think the Winged Eagle Championship is OVERRATED..
You’re wrong too
But it's not tho...
@SRTBadbrains90 There is no right or wrong answer it is Subjective
People act like they’ve not had like 3 or 4 titles that look better than it
@CassiusMaximus_ AMEN. I much rather have the Big Eagle or the Big Gold...
