Am I the only one that likes Jeffś belt? No, you're not. I like it myself. I've said a lot about how I feel that it's a prop for Jeff's character, but that doesn't take away from it's quality as a custom belt! Randy Jackson did his usual phenominal job making this title. It's really pretty cool.

lmao, does that honestly matter to you? And if they did actually spend that amount, couldn't they have used it on something more useful? Does it "matter" to me? No, I don't guess it does in the long run . . . but it's stupid bullsh*t none the less. People get jumped on for spamming around here all the time, yet sh*t like that is allowed to pass. There's NO WAY Tna shelled out that much for Jeff's belt. It's just hype and BS. Kind of like how WAY back in the day (when Race was to be presented with the new belt in 1973) they said the domed globe NWA Title belt was crafted by the finest craftsmen specializing in gold and silver. Some claimed back then that the belt was worth 10's of thousands (in the 70's mind you). The NWA belt was worth 10's of thousands. Flair had to put down a $25,000 deposit just to get the title. I'm sure everyone else had to as well. So yes, it was worth 10's of thousands.

There's a new belt made for every guy (8 times out of 10.) I'm telling you, anyone here who believes they paid more than 4 or 5 grand for that belt is wrong. That's just the truth. I don't watch wrestling, I'm not a TNA fan justifying what ever stupid decisions they make. I'm just saying.

They may not have paid that much for it, but it was worth that much. I think the $18,000 number is ridiculous, I doubt they paid half that.

I'm sure everyone else had to as well. So yes, it was worth 10's of thousands. No, it really wasn't. Flair and everyone else had to put down the deposit to secure the fact that they wouldn't no show or run off with the belt. There's a great book out about the "10 Lbs of Gold" that will make these points clear for you, or you can do some searching around the net That belt is one subject that I can't be questioned about. The old NWA belt was a fairly flimsy kind of deal, to be honest. It wasn't pure gold, barely even gold plated. It's the ultimate classic belt in my book, but it was not worth what they portrayed it as on tv. Today, yeah it is, but not because of the materials it's made of, but because of the nostalgic value. As far as Jeff's belt goes, the TNA logo is one of the most expensive parts of it. You could get Randy Jackson to make another for less than $3000, guaranteed.

I'm saying it was worth that not that they paid that for it.

Jeff Hardy told them it cost $18000, because $2000 went towards the belt and $16000 went toward a payment to his dealer. This and Lawyer fees.

I don't watch wrestling, I'm not a TNA fan justifying what ever stupid decisions they make. I'm just saying. This is a company that bleeds money like nobody's business. I honestly wouldn't be surprised to find out that this estimate is 100% correct. The people financially backing TNA are not the smartest bunch.

I agree with the one person here that said they may not have paid more than 5 grand for the belt but all the other costs involved with designing a belt and such could've increased the overall costs involved in the belt... or it's just a completely false statement...

Thats impossible, Being a belt mark, there is no way that cost 18G. You can get a Reggie Parks for 2-3000, Even the current IWGP championship cost 10,000. And Hardy's title is no where near as nice or has much detail to it.

I hope $18,000 isn't the serious price, way too much for that ugly belt

You could have put a Jakks belt on TV and the iMPACT Zone would sill chant, "THIS IS AWESOME!!!"

i'm pretty sure this is the guy who did TNA's other belts, (obviously not this one) but anyways here is his pricing guide. www.davemillicanbelts.com/faqs.htmi really can't believe it was anywhere near 10 grand let alone 20.

Fun Fact for you The original (Dome Style) NWA World Championship was actually made of gold, so yeah.... it was worth a lot...
