Also I would like to say that while I love the big idub belt, when it’s in the wrong lighting it can look like it’s a plastic toy

I mean, I understand it as a vision of a past that should have happened but I don’t understand it in our current reality during Tanahashi's 3rd or 4th reign, he was one of the challengers set to face him and did the old Challenger-Stealing-The-Belt deal

I'm sick because I've liked like 3/4ths of these belts. I just like wrestling belts a lot, even when they're ugly. Especially when they're ugly!

https://prowrestlingstories.com/pro-wrestling-stories/championship-title-belt-dave-millican/ I love this little excerpt about Reggie Parks from this article: quote:[Dave] Millican owns the first belts Parks ever made, the AWA Midwest tag team titles. They still shine like they’re new, and the leather is supple and soft. They could be put on TV at a moment’s notice, and they’d look spectacular. The titles were made in 1967 for the Nebraska territory affiliated with Verne Gagne’s AWA. My God. These belts are 50 years old. Millican tells me a great story: Harley Race and Larry Hennig were AWA world champions at the time, coming into Nebraska to face Midwest tag champs Parks and Doug Gilbert (also known as Doug Lindzy, not Eddie Gilbert’s brother). The AWA world tag titles at the time were essentially wooden plaques fastened to leather straps. Race and Hennig got a look at the Parks-made titles and told him they weren’t going to wear the world titles to the ring if Parks and Gilbert wore their belts.

On one hand; a sword is a rad-rear end piece of championship hardware. On the other I am of the mind that nothing with a blade bigger than a razor (and even then) should be anywhere near a wrestling ring. Also holy poo poo you don't put suspend it above the ring somebody could have gotten seriously killed.

Davros1 posted:Tommy Dreamer's WWE Hardcore title (which was just the European belt with a license plate tied to the front and stickers on the side plates) On closer look, that does seem more like Tommy Dreamer's Arts and Crafts title. Like he went on Martha Stewart with a trash can full of stuff and demonstrated how you can make a wrestling belt with things you already own.

A couple from Dragon Gate: I think this qualifies for "weird", but I always really liked the concept of the Open the Dream Gate title. The champion's nameplate is placed inside the belt face, then locked behind a gate with a keyhole. You have to earn a challenger's key for a title shot. If you win, your key unlocks the faceplate and you replace the champion's name inside with your own. If you lose, there's a bar across the bottom where the champion gets to hang all his challenger's keys like trophies. As for ugly (which I'm sure is intentional), they also have the Owarai (comedy) title:

I can't find bigger pics, but from Memphis in the early 80s: AWA Southern Tag Team Titles, circa 1978-81. Later recycled as the CWA tag team titles around 1989.

They just change one of the gems on it for each title defense and you wouldn't notice if no one told you. They go from a white fake diamond to a ruby. The idea is that they can customize the belt to each fighter who holds it but they're ugly. You used to get a belt with each defense so if you had a lot of defenses you have a lot of belts. https://mobile.twitter.com/MightyMouse/status/862352725459251201
