Now this is a women’s championship! This title was deserving of women’s wrestling. ![]() Perhaps the best I’ve seen since the Smoking Skull belt.Ĭhampions: Gail Kim, Awesome Kong, Madison Rayne, Taryn Terrell, Mickie James, Angelina Love, Tara, Velvet Sky. The camo strap and design remind that custom belts “can” be good if done properly. I only recently stumbled over a picture of this custom-made ROH World Championship for Jay Briscoe. The belt was redesigned when Moolah’s dominance dwindled, but she kept it as a trophy, and it remains one of the most beautiful and classic women’s championships of all time. The picture of Moolah changed through the decades as she defended the belt in the NWA, and later, in the WWF with no serious competition. Not only that but it was customizable, as can be seen with Moolah picture inside. The belt was designed to be one of the first women’s championships back in the 50’s. WWE introduced a belt shortly after for Brock Lesnar, and the Big Gold Belt was retired at the same time, possibly to be never seen again on television. The Big Gold Belt remained til 2014, even after Randy Orton unified the titles. While the NWA/WCW title lineage ended, WWE redesigned it slightly and kept the “Big Gold Belt” look for the new “World Heavyweight Championship”, which would be defended on Raw while Smackdown showcased the Undisputed WWE title. After WCW’s demise in 2001, the title was defended in WWF before being unified with the WWF Championship by Chris Jericho. It was unified into the WCW title in 1994, and the Big Gold Belt became the World Heavyweight Championship once again. Originally commissioned in 1986 as the NWA World Heavyweight Championship, the title found its way into the possession of WCW, and for a time used as the WCW International World Heavyweight Championship after the NWA partnership. WWE tarnished the perception of it by handing it out as a secondary title for years before finally unifying it into the current WWE title. Starting to wish they brought it back? The classic chunk of gold that is the Big Gold Belt is a fan favourite. NWA/WCW/WWE World Heavyweight (Big Gold Belt)Ĭhampions: Ric Flair, Ricky Steamboat, Sting, The Great Muta, Barry Windham, Rick Rude, Hulk Hogan, The Giant, Randy Savage, Lex Luger, Goldberg, Kevin Nash, DDP, Bret Hart, David Arquette, Vince Russo, Jeff Jarrett, Booker T, Scott Steiner, Kurt Angle, The Rock, Chris Jericho, Triple H, Shawn Michaels, Chris Benoit, Batista, Rey Mysterio, The Undertaker, Edge, CM Punk, John Cena, Randy Orton, Jeff Hardy. A simple, yet effective old-school design. The design has been tweaked only slightly over the years, making it one of the most recognizable. Remains one of the longest-serving World Championships in the wrestling business, having being created from the Original World Heavyweight title in 1957. Champions: Lou Thesz, Ric Flair, Harley Race, Sting, AJ Styles.
