CTXRussomark Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 No idea what they've started using to shine the TNA belt up but it looks absolutely stunning whenever I've seen it recently.
Paid Members IANdrewDiceClay Posted July 17, 2012 Paid Members Posted July 17, 2012 On Impact it looked sparkling. I didn't like it at first (possibly because it was on Mr Anderson for a bit, and it reminded me of unwatchable television), but its looked really good over the last few months.
Rule One Posted July 18, 2012 Author Posted July 18, 2012 They've upped their production values recently and have been taught how to keep their belts clean. It's really easy and simple to do but wrestlers generally treat belts like shit which leads to the belts they hold being damaged, even getting baby oil/sweat on the leather/plates can mess them up. Steve Austin and Bubba/Brother/Bully Ray are the worst offenders of this.
The Four Horsemen Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 Any chance of something to read about the WCW/NWA United States Championship and Television Championship? Have really enjoyed your work so far.
Rule One Posted July 18, 2012 Author Posted July 18, 2012 Any chance of something to read about the WCW/NWA United States Championship and Television Championship? Have really enjoyed your work so far. I will put that as next on the list. It probably won't be done until the end of the week/early next week as I've got a few things to do inbetween. Thank-you for your comment. If anyone else has a comment/question/suggestion, shoot it and I will do my best to answer.
simonworden Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 Very obvious ones but I would love to see one about the WWWF/WWF/WWE title and the Intercontinental title. I love all the little facts and I have never really been able to find out much about the belts pre 1985
Rule One Posted July 19, 2012 Author Posted July 19, 2012 As promised to The Four Horsemen, I will do the NWA Television Heavyweight title soon because this one was a bit of a bastard to do. There is only so much information I could get and I don't fancy trawling through countless hours of bad NWA footage at the moment so I hope this is ok for all of you. @SimonWorden: I will do the WWWF/WWF/WWE major titles at some point but I can't give an exact timescale. NWA United States Heavyweight Title There were nine major lineages of the NWA United States Heavyweight title and that is discounting the smaller regions that barely any information can be found on. The main linage is from the Mid-Atlantic region which is the main piece I have done in this but I have tried to gather some information on the other lineages/titles. Central States 24/8/1961
simonworden Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Thans Rule One another interesting read, I always assumed the US tile from NWA/ Mid atlantic was absorbed into WCW and had the same lineage glad to expand my knowledge. No worries on the WWF stuff imagine thats a big job
Richie Freebird Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 Fantastic work once again Rule. Some lovely photos and background information there. I think everyone is in awe of your knowledge of this subject. Do you have any photos of the early 80

Paid Members Wretch Posted July 20, 2012 Paid Members Posted July 20, 2012 Rule One, this just popped up on my Facebook feed. Whaddya make of it? From the Elvis Presley fanpage..
Paid Members ShortOrderCook Posted July 20, 2012 Paid Members Posted July 20, 2012 Great work indeed Rule One. I'm all over this kind of thing. Besides the obvious choices I'd love for you to cover the IWGP belt if at all possible.

Rule One Posted July 21, 2012 Author Posted July 21, 2012 @SimonWorden: The lineages in some cases do go on with other promotions, I just focused on the NWA part as I'll probably get round to doing WCW belts along the way. @Wretch: It's a cheap clustered design which serves its purpose, there are a plethora of the same type of design knocking around. Usually made by belt buckle companies to varying degrees of finishes. Here's another one: @ShortOrderCook: I may do the IWGP Heavyweight title before I do the WWWF/WWF/WWE belts. @RichieFreebird: Do you not like the older WWF Ladies/Women's titles or even the WWC Women's? The NWA tag-team belts are an indicative style of 60's/70's titles and bear resemblance to Nikita Mulkovich's belts, I've no idea if he made them though.
