Gumball Gumption posted:That first belt is cool as hell unless someone tells me it was made in like 2020. It was a United States Championship that got modified to become the very first WWF (then WWWF) World Championship. Here's an article about how it was lost for decades before being found: https://www.wwe.com/classics/original-wwe-championship-lost-and-found

Speaking of US titles, THIS is the greatest US Championship of all time. DO NOT DISPUTE ME.

rotinaj posted:the story posted earlier about the original world title found after 50 years still makes my mind boggle as to why Vince won't let there be an actual physical hall of fame. I think a physical WWE Hall of Fame would be doomed to fail. There's no way it would make enough money to stay open. The belt itself is currently in HHH's office, along with the other WWWF/WWF/WWE Heavyweight titles (though he seems to be missing the Hogan 85 & Hogan 86 belts)

flashy_mcflash posted:What would be the most unwieldy belt to travel with? I assume that's the spinner or the variants of that, but is there anything bigger and heavier? I've never seen a photo a Mid-South North American Champion actually wearing this:

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)

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.

The CWA "World" title is one of the ugliest belts I ever saw

frankenfreak posted:The plate aspect aside, I'm intrigued by the world this championship is representing. I can recognize the flags of Adanac and Napaj, but beyond that... One's Japan, but the colors were reversed.
