6. TNA World Heavyweight Title
Wrestling fans may rag on TNA for trying to ride the coat tails of WWE, amongst other things, but the design of the old TNA World Heavyweight Title is a thing of beauty. Introduced in 2007, this belt has since made way for the more garish one seen on Impact Wrestling nowadays, but this strap must have been one tough act to follow. Everything about the title screams opulence, exactly as a World Title should, and the inclusion of the classic eagle design, complete with an eye-catching mix of silver and gold, is another plus point here. In addition, the fact the eagle's wings take up most of the front faceplate is another positive - perhaps this was intentional, almost as though the designers are comparing the title holder to the eagle, spreading their proverbial wings over the promotion, and acting as the main attraction, just like the bird itself. Even the TNA logo is well-presented, and doesn't dominate the belt's composition or layout. The sideplates, featuring simple globes, are nothing special, but that's one hell of a faceplate.
