That WWF winged eagle belt is no question the best looking belt ever

[@darrendi-lorenzo2622]

I agree, I look at the modern WWE championships especially the universal championship it looks so generic like the artists had no imagination for the design, the new WWE World Heavyweight championship belt on the other hand is a nice looking belt.

[@calicojack3628]

Nah it’s the big gold NWA/WCW/world heavyweight championship, attitude era then the winged eagle

[@gelkezo3039]

​@@tmac731 for me the wwe version of the big gold belt (wolrd heavyweight championship) is the best belt in wrestling history alongside winged eagle and old njpw world belt

For me, it's too hard to decide between the Winged Eagle, Crumrine Big Gold, Undisputed, AJPW Triple Crown, TNA v1, AEW, or IWGP v4.

The closing mechanism these days is most often velcro. The snaps you can see are most often just ornamental. It makes it easier to put the title on and take off.

[@pgrrstl]

Velcro was only used one time and that was because the luggage was lost with the belt in it, so he had to use a replica belt

[@fofnifolar]

[@joshschneider9766]

the soft metal castings are known as "match plates" in the casting industry. they eliminate the need to model in clay or wax every time. this allows serial production of identical castings. it also ensures much greater detail.

[@AHWGEOFFCHARLES]

I watch the other how is made videos which are cool but I really love wwe so I really enjoy seeing how they are made

[@Wolverine2sweet]

That was interesting to watch! Crazy that they only showed clips of WWE and not the other companies. Listen, I get it, World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment is the main company for many years but let's not forget where most of these superstars came from. TNA Wrestling, Ring of Honor, New Japan Pro Wrestling, Chikara Pro, CZW, Women of Wrestling, NWA, World Championship Wrestling. Another note, wish I can find someone that can restore my replicas that I have. They definitely need a good do over since it's been so many years of owning the few I got, lol.

[@RyanConnell5150]

2:03 that guy didn't design the WWE Title. That's the Orange County Chopper guy who took WWE's design and did some computer work to convert the file so their machines could cut out the pieces of the title.

[@Bandana_Boi]

I hand cut and fabricated an entire belt from eighth inch thick metal. Came out pretty dope, but unexpectedly way too heavy. My pops, who's been a metal fabricator for 40 years, complimented my craftsmanship. You'd be surprised to learn how impossible it is to find someone to do etching on a custom title belt.

[@HeavyMetalSonicRM]

This guy clearly doesn’t know how a wrestling belt is made. He clearly shows boxing belts, which aren’t made the same way. Wrestling belts are zinc plates that are acid etched. They are not cast copies

They actually are belts. Titles refer to the tilte like Doctor is a title for a person. So winning the title means you have the honour of adding the title to your name. Like world champion. The title isn't a physical thing. The belt is

[@not_roddy]

I thought they were straps? :)

[@lexlopez15]

​@@GamingNewsIn60you obviously missed the joke.😄... when McMahon was around he prohibited wrestlers from calling them belts or straps...there is a long list of words that you couldn't say on WWE tv like "pro wrestling", "wrestler", "fan base", "crowd", etc...cause he wanted to distinguish WWE as being above everyone else's promotion. It was an ego thing...that list has shortened when Vince left but some words still remain due to the established branding that was created... although there have been instances where wrestlers have let it slip out but it was mostly to establish the new management and stick it to Vince cause they are no longer reprimanded for saying it like before.

Honesty tin? If not gold they should at least be silver then gold plated. I mean I get the symbolism but they should hold monetary value as well. If not, all you really have is a hunk of worthless metal. I know the UFC belts are made with two pounds of pure gold. Not that you would, but in theory that belt melt value would be roughly $60,000.00 alone… now that’s something worth fighting for!

[@theprodigy9617]

Mf 60 million means nothing on a scripted show, take the Ula fala for example that's worth so much more now that they have a amazing story attached to it. They could make a title with 70 dollars and make it the most prestigious title in wrestling with the right story
