Does anybody remember the WWF cereal from around the same time?! They were shaped like Ultimate Warriors facepaint.

Is it scary that the foam "World Wrestling Federation Champion" belt looks better then the actual belt the WWE uses now? Unfortunately it's true!

I had that IC belt as a kid and I loved it, my mom ordered it for me out of the catalogue in the wwf magazine. I remember the brown strap always bugged me, but at least it looked like the center plate that was on the real title. Also had the WWF title but I didn't like it as much because the design on it was outdated, really wanted the winged eagle that they were using at the time.

My friend and I had a lot of the foam belts growing up. They became quite prestigious in our backyard wrestling federation as it evolved from goofy play wrestling on a mattress in a bedroom to really physical violent backyard wrestling. I'll never forget the day when we had one of our "big events". My friend Scott won the Heavyweight title for the first time. We had a run in planned where I grabbed the belt and hit him with it.. and at this point.. Our backyard fed was just "beat the s**t out of each other with weapons" mostly.. so I grabbed the foam and plastic title.. ran and jumped off a chair.. and clotheslined him in the face with it. Split the center plate right in half, and cut his chin pretty bad. But he calls a spot.. "roll with it". So I grabbed the belt.. and just beat the tar out of him with it. whipped him with it as hard as I could swing it and literally knocked every plate off of it, and ripped the foam in half. The next show, he cut a promo with the remains of the belt and basically said it was worthless. It became probably the most iconic moment in our backyard fed, and the rest of the time, the Heavyweight title was a mess of duct tape and electrical tape because we could never find a new belt to replace it.

Foam. These were the old belts you could either get out of the old WWF catalog or at the live events. They also had a Tag Team and Heavyweight Title, but not the Winged Eagle one, some different design. they had the winged eagle belt back then. I had it. Bought it from a live event. It was foam just like the one in the above pic, black strap and plastic plates. They also had a classic black strap IC title too.

I had the WWF and WCW belts that I got at live events in the 90's they were similar in the fact that they were both foam and plastic, and for the most part vaguely looked like the actual titles.
