I remember reading of rumors about Matty contracting with Reg Park about use of belt likenesses. Is this true? If so, any idea about the old NWA TV title?

I doubt they are going after non-WWE titles. Wasn't Rey's CW title the WWE's version?

Your best bet is to print one out. I sincerely doubt Mattel will ever make WCW titles.

Probably does not make financial sense for mattel to license those belts, but they would be amazing.

Been lobbying for this to happen for a while. I'm positive they could make a deal that would work for both sides, but it seems like mattel isn't interested in trying right now. I want WCW and ECW belts bad, maybe someday....never say never, long way to go on this line.

Doesn't wwe own the rights to ecw now? They could give us ecw beltd with flashback elites, like ecw terry funk or tazz with ftw belt, rvd with ecw tv title. Wont happen, but just an idea, cant see them making nwa or wcw belts though

Who would come with an NWA TV Title? Well that tv title was the silver one with red writing ? If I am thinking correct ..... Stunning Steve held that title . Ricky Steamboat also some others but those two could work.... they made 4 or so Steamboats already I know. That title was comparable to the IC title . I love the look of it . but those two are def ppl who should or could come with it

Someone here contacted Milligan and/or Jmar and they said they would be willing to do business with Mattel but Mattel shoots down the idea by saying "we dont have the rights".....which I find kinda funny cause they're saying they'd sell you the rights, you just dont want to pay for it.

I kind of think the new '87 WWF title looks pretty similar. Somewhat related, I think now would be a good time to get a flashback WCW Regal in burgandy.

However, I was a huge ECW fan and a ECW TV Title I would for sure be excited about.

Mattel doesn't want to pay for the rights to anything that won't move a ton of business. If it's not currently owned by WWE (which most of the WCW/ECW belt artwork is not, it's owned by the beltmakers) or it's not under a Legends contract, Mattel isn't going to take money out of their production budget to get them. There is a reason all of the current WWE titles with the exception of the IC belt have been designed in house by WWE. It's the same reason all new Superstars get names. WWE wants 100% intellectual property rights for maximum profits. When a old guy signs a Legends contract, $0 are spent by Mattel for the rights to make that figure because those contracts are paid by WWE and include rights to other products. Bottom line, Mattel won't spend money to acquire rights to use for an accessory. The best hope is maybe the beltmakers will make some kind Legends deal with WWE that goes past replica belts and video games. My guess is those individual deals are much better for the belt makers then one big all inclusive one that allows WWE to use them for whatever they want.

If we get the TV Title Arn Anderson would be the BEST person to put it with
