Very nice, these really look legit. However if you do plan on selling them be careful. WWE is pretty strict on copyright infringement. I would just sell to friends and not try and sell online. Thanks for the compliment. But yea I think I'll just sell to some people or take "donationS" haha... but I like doing them as a hobby. I'm actually making a WWF INTERCONTINENTAL belt in white for a guy. I'all post pics when I finish.

I love them. I'd like to see classic NWA titles.
I've always been a fan of printout titles. When done right they are far better than any figure belt -- made by a company or custom. I never would have thought to make a life-sized printout. Genius.

These look excellent. I would love a step-by-step guide to making one of these. I've been thinking of making one to use as a trophy for a contest my friends and I do every year.

These look excellent. I would love a step-by-step guide to making one of these. I've been thinking of making one to use as a trophy for a contest my friends and I do every year. I've been thinking of making some myself. This is how I would do it: (But please note that this completely off the top of my head and there are a couple details I haven't totally figured out yet.) For the Plates:-Find a good stock photo on Google or Bing -Resize photo. This will depend on the size of the belt. -Print. Ideally from a color lazer printer, but no matter what, use the highest quality you can. You'll probably need to have it printed at a Kinkos/Fed Ex Store. And definitely print it on a thicker, high quality paper. I believe the OP used photo stock. -Carefully cut images out with a Xacto (sp?) knife. -I would recommend laminating the "plates" for longevity (and to possibly curve the plates. this is how a guy that made printout belts for figures did it). -Glue plates to a stiff cardboard or any thicker material that can be glued or sewn to the strap. For the Strap:-Decide on your material. Leather, faux leather, pleather, that canvas material that real belts (for clothes) and reusable shopping bags are made of, etc. You could even get a strap from a replica belt bit I personally wouldn't recommend it. They aren't usually a very good quality. -The size and shape of the strap is up to you. You could use a more generic shape or search for pictures of the belts and recreate the exact shape of each belt. -The method of cutting and sewing may vary a bit, depending on if you need to sew up ends of the fabric. That will vary on the size of the fabric you're cutting from. This is the part I haven't figured out yet, but hopefully I've given you a good starting point. It's getting late so I'm going to cut this short but I'll update later with the rest. Hopefully this doesn't upset the OP. I don't think he was planning on selling these, but if it's an issue I'll delete this post.

I dont really mind that you put this up, its just that I did alot of research trying to make these belts for my kids with out any help, just browsing the internet and youtube. But if anyone is trying to do this just know that it is very time consuming and to be honest not cheap. But if you're like me and enjoy doing this as a hobby then go for it and enjoy.

Yeah we dressed our kids up as Demolition for Halloween in 2014 and then again last year for Wrestlecon were we met Demolition. We bought spikes and put them on the clothes, bought masks and hooked those up with spikes as well , and now 1 mask has Ax's signature and the other one has Smash's. You should have seen the faces on Demolition when my son's walked up to them in the masks, with the belts...awesome

I dont think we took one with the masks because Demolition signed it as soon as we got there and we didn't want to get the autographs smeared. I used a paintball mask.
