In an attempt to capitalize on the popularity and buzz of John Cena's 20-Year Celebration and Anniversary of his WWE debut, the company has released a limited-edition collectible championship belt in Cena's honor. It's called the John Cena Legacy Championship and it's an absolute must for avid wrestling memorabilia collectors.
The belt was unveiled on WWE's show The Bump and it's pretty cool. It's housed in a "Word Life” lock chain replica box, designed with his famous Doctor of Thuganomics days in mind. The box has a window in the back that can be snapped open into a display case where the contents inside are accessible. They include an exclusive wrist sweatband set featuring Cena's most-famous catchphrases like, “Never give up”, “HLR (Hustle, Loyalty, Respect)”, and “U can’t C me”. The belt itself actually comes in a zipped cloth case that shows Cena giving a salute in front of a “20 Years” logo.
As for the design of the title, there are 16 jewels surrounding the center plate that symbolize the 16 world title wins Cena has had over his career. The side plates, once again, feature his catchphrases and as most people would have guessed, the center plate spins. Not everyone loved the spinner championships, but they were a hit among WWE fans. The colors featured are red, white, and blue, likely to show Cena’s support for the American troops.
Only 500 Of These Titles Made
If you want to get this legacy championship, you'll likely have to pony up some considerable money as only 500 were made and they will likely be hard to come by despite what one can only imagine is a considerable investment. Replica titles are fairly pricy as is. This one is sure to be up there since there are only so many available.
