Talk:WWE European Championship

"During the WWF Insurrection tour of the UK in April 2000, European champion Eddie Guerrero blasted UK fans for their dislikng of Europe. Intercontinental champion Chris Jericho then came out and declared the UK a part of "club Y2J", stating that the UK didn't need Europe, or Guerrero as its champion. This is interesting as the European Championship never featured the Union Flag predominantly."

This doesn't seem particularly relevant to me, even as trivia. Unless anyone has any objections, I will be deleting it within a few days. --Pathogen 05:13, 11 May 2005 (UTC)

It's something I never knew, but then again if it was a house show it doesn't count as a notable fact. Still I never knew the Union Jack was not on the belt.--Mr Smashnbash 22:00, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

I think that you will find that it does have the Union Flag along the bottom of the main panel, check the picture.--Racer38 20:11, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

Why did the WWE even get rid of this belt? Is the belt going to return to WWE?

If I had to guess, I'd say they got rid of the belt because of the Brand Extension; with the roster split down the middle, there was no reason for RAW to have so many titles (at the time it had the European, Hardcore, and Intercontinental Championships). Jeff Silvers 08:16, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Rename the article

I think the article should be renamed "WWF European Championship" as that was the name of the title for the vast majority of it's history. Likewise, I think the image, which is of a replica belt that uses the WWE Logo instead of the WWF logo, which was never the case with the real title, should be replaced with an image of the actual title belt. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.229.65.133 (talk) 08:28, 4 May 2007 (UTC).

The belt was abandoned after the WWF/WWE name change. Thus, the final name of the belt was the WWE European Championship.-- bulletproof ^3:16 20:17, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

RVD

Knowing he never actualy held the title and isn't recodnized by WWE RVD shouldn't be the shortest reign.--Justakija (talk) 13:51, 7 September 2010 (UTC)

Remove Picture

Can someone please remove the picture of the replica belt and put up a picture of the original title belt —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.226.249.174 (talk) 10:51, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Infobox Picture

We seem to have a little debate going on as far as which picture should be used in the infobox. For a little while now, the picture used was a badly edited picture of the belt that had the WWF logos removed as well as the words "World Wrestling Federation" on the main plate. I updated an accurate picture to the infobox recently that shows exactly how the belt looked with no edits whatsoever, complete with WWF logos and World Wrestling Federation written on the main plate. For some reason we have an editor that keeps changing it back to the edited version with no WWF logos or lettering. I don't know why. It seems like a pretty easy decision to me, but let's open this up to hear other people's opinions on the matter. OldSkool01 (talk) 10:03, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

The edited image that you are referring to is the image as it appears on WWE.com; that is where it is from, and I would not say badly edited, though I am not sure why they did not edit it with WWE as replicas since then have the WWE logo and writing. Sure, your version contains the logo and writing of the promotion's former name, but it does not show the entire belt and it has a caption and copyright on it. --JDC808 ♫ 10:29, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

What does it matter if it has a copyright on it? It was taken directly from WWF.com, just like the edited picture was. Also there was no WWE version of the belt. When the belt was retired in July 2002, it still had the WWF logos on it. It wasn't until the following year when they sold the replicas of old belts that they changed the logos on all the belts. But on TV the real belt never had the WWE logo. As far as showing the entire belt, there are several WP pages that do not show the entire length of the belt. That's never been a real issue. OldSkool01 (talk) 10:39, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

I could be wrong, but I do not believe that images on Wikipedia are supposed to have the copyright on them. Not arguing for the entire length of the belt, just all the plates (entire length would be ridiculous). Those other images that you refer probably don't have better images to use. --JDC808 ♫ 10:46, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

I see what you're saying, as far as the extra side plates go. Let me see if I can find an image that includes all 4 side plates as well as the WWF logos, etc. OldSkool01 (talk) 10:56, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

I did manage to find one, but the quality is not the greatest. --JDC808 ♫ 11:04, 26 December 2016 (UTC)

That's better, but not perfect. I'm going to search Archive.org to see what I can find. OldSkool01 (talk) 13:29, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

Found one similar to the one you did, but much better quality. Here: https://wiki.riteme.site/wiki/File:WWF_European_Championship_with_all_5_plates.jpg If you have no problems with it, I'll make that the infobox pic. OldSkool01 (talk) 15:16, 27 December 2016 (UTC)

Sorry for late response. Looks good. --JDC808 ♫ 10:42, 3 January 2017 (UTC)
