Ozz81 posted:quote="Paper Jam Dipper" post="412423305"] Put Miz in a match with Generico, he'll show how it's done right! He's aged relatively well...what's the belt he's holding? It's got the WCW (or similar) logo but I don't remember ever seeing a silver belt like that when WCW was still around...custom title? From a different indie fed? [/quote] Like PJD said, it's custom. A "career legacy belt" made by Top Rope Belts, the same place that makes all of Hardy's custom belts and the one Helms wore to the ring on National Pro Wrestling Day.

Don't really care for it. All the gaudiness of the spinner without the flair. Looks like something an Elvis Impersonator would wear while he's on the Vegas Strip. Or something Andrew Lazarchik would make as an example to show the company. Speaking of which:

HUSTLE had two championships: The Hustle Hardcore Hero Championship, which was represented by a giant spiked baseball bat,  and the Hustle Super Tag Team Championships, which were more traditional.

Phenix Rising posted:This would be much cooler without the logos so huge on the side panels. There are just way too many logos staring at you. Of course, it would look completely different around a guy's waist/over a guy's shoulder, but straight on the amount of logos is just jarring. I linked an article a couple pages back on the guy who made them. He owns Wildcat Belts and made that Intercontinental one to show them he could design belts as well, but they didn't end up using it.

Cactus Jack posted:I don't understand why they are dumping so much money on this lovely gimmick. Just part of the "refuses to debut" gimmick. The more attention he gets and the more he doesn't wrestle, the more heat he gets. In theory anyway. Personally I think he's going to have the most elaborate Wrestlemania entrance ever. Showgirls, lasers, balloons, confetti, pyro, fire, tigers jumping through hoops - the whole nine yards. And then he still refuses to compete because it's too cold or something.

Thought it was just engraved into the gold rather than the bold, black print, but yeah, it's hard to tell. Either they haven't finished his plate yet or perhaps they're moving away from having the name on the belt now that the new WWE Title doesn't have it (although it does have the custom sideplates, so who knows.)

The new Right Coast Pro belt done by Top Rope Belts is one of the most elegant I've ever seen. Kind of a weird fit when you check out RCP's website and their roster and all though, but still.

Lots of VHS releases though. There was a single official WCW DVD while they were in business: A Millionaires Club vs. New Blood compilation (that also included some footage from the formation of the nWo for context,) that was released in Japan.

Suleman posted:Also, I hadn't seen a good full shot of the Undertaker's most recent entrance gear before. It's a bit too much, even for Taker. The floppy spikes on the side don't really help with the intimidation factor. In fact, I think he removed them after he wore it the first time.

UltimoDragonQuest posted:
Based on the champions on the poster, it's likely from the UK. I'm told that the UK and Ireland used to have a base-12 currency system, and would in 1950. Two shillings was known as 2/- and is equal to 10p in the modern decimal system. A half crown was known as 2/6 and is equal to 12.5p I'm no math expert, but the 3/6 would probably be 17.5p and 4/6 would be 22.5p That could be inaccurate so maybe someone knows more about that system.

Does it come with a flashlight that zaps Undertaker of his powers? Seriously though, considering they already sell replica Slammys and now replica ring bells, WWE could offer replica urns at a huge markup.

I've seen a couple jackets up for sale on toudoukan (Japanese wrestling/MMA thrift store) before. No idea on the quality, but they didn't mention belonging to any specific wrestlers. I heard a rumor you could buy one as a tourist but it would be lower quality compared to the ones wrestlers get. Sort of like buying a replica.

On the subject of ugly belts, almost every self-commissioned "legacy" belt could be nominated. Jeff Hardy's, Hurricane Helms', Shannon Moore's, etc.    The Blue Demon Jr. belt isn't too bad though.

Granted the celebrity gimmick couldn't last forever, but I wonder just how competitive restaurants are in a place like that. I mean, just because it's the biggest mall in the nation doesn't guarantee success. Case in point, NBC had a competition to find the next greatest franchise, with the winner getting three start-up locations, and one of the locations was at the Mall of America. It closed within two months. Side-bar, if John Cena got a restaurant, what would it be? John Cena's Thug-O-Nuggets?
