Then Miz pulled a similar yet even less original and more disappointing stunt when all he did was turn the W upside down.
Anyway I like side plates. Reminds me of WMAC Masters, which had a kino concept of collecting the logos of everyone you defeated on you belt. Would be cool in wrestling for someone with a super long reign for the belt to keep getting longer, and the champion's plate could be part of the centerpiece.
Also custom belt are a dimes concept in theory - but only for a deserving champion whose character warrants it. It still should be a belt that other wrestlers would be envious of which is why Bray's was retarded although Daniel Bryan is the exception because his heel vegan belt was funny and fit his character perfectly.
