Ok so a little over a year ago a buddy of mine who runs a primarily wrestling store (Time Warp Toys in Fairborn OH) got in a replica of the WWF Winged Eagle Championship. So of course I picked it up for $200. Couldn't pass on it. Easily my favorite Championship belt. Since meeting wrestlers as become more common for me in the last couple of years, I decided to turn the belt into a project. I want it to be signed exclusively by guys who have held the Heavyweight Championship. I see too many people at conventions and signings having random belts signed by as many guys as they can. My OCD hates when people have guys sign a belt they haven't held. Like R Truth signing the WWE title or Undertaker signing the IC title. Anyways, here is my progress so far: So far I have Backlund, Angle, Austin, Wyatt, RVD, Flair, Nash, Hardy, Shiek, and Hogan.

Wow that is cool! I guess you're not too OCD about guys not holding the Winged Eagle title? I would like the do something like this in the future, the only problem is tracking them down and sometimes that costs a lot of money. Awesome work though, you already have quite a few signatures!

Nah the specific era belt for each guy doesn't bother me as much. Plus it'd be a fortune. I've spent a pretty penny on it so far. Have a long way to go. Plus I have rules. Only get it signed at signing in which I pay for the autograph. No waiting at hotels or airports or hunting guys down. I don't want to be one of those people. Which will make guys like Vince, Triple H, and The Rock very difficult.

A person told me about the time he saw a guy get a world title signed by Al Snow and Head For me I'd be bothered by the title eras but with the names you got on it I'd definitely overlook it lol. Looks great.

That looks good so far man. I hope you can add a lot more to it.
I'm way worse than that about belts though, it has to be THE belt that person held or it drives me crazy, the amount of people I saw doing it mania weekend, I about went insane. Lol

Way above my pay grade. Plus don't like owning too much. Only reason I wouldn't do another WWE Championship belt would be the spinner and only have Punk sign it.

Nice work! I'm having to reel back my projects a bit. I was about to start my 4th different one, but thought I should focus on what I've got. One of these days, I'll own the winged eagle.

Ahh my favorite wrestling title ever. I'm looking to get a replica belt down the line and without question it will be the Winged Eagle. Thanks for sharing man hopefully you get many more former World Champs to sign it.

Very cool! I've always loved that belt - exactly what a World title should look like.

Very cool, I'm very jealous. Especially when you get the rock to sign it.

The fact you got this for $200 is remarkable to me. The only thing holding me back from buying a winged eagle replica is the price for it. Awesome stuff, though! I love the look of replica belts that are signed.

I love the look of replica belts that are signed. Honestly I've seen some fairly decent priced ones before on Craigslist or local flea markets. I plan on hopefully getting the classic NWA strap too for next years Wrestlecon. I'm not sure yet.
