I know that for a fact what usually happens is, the WWE gives you the plate and an option to buy the title once you win it. They do not just hand over the belt (hence why Dibiase does not have the million dollar belt which is worth 100,000) after you buy the title WWE makes a new one from the money you paid them.
Hope that helped.

Because Regal had held the belt before that time. By that stage Regal would have been a multi time champion and would have his belt encased at home, or wherever he keeps them. RVD and Regal will have shared a belt until the end of their program (feud) and they moved on to different opponents. well then how come RVD didn't get to keep the title?.... Kane, you're wrong. Trust me, I know. I'm on a forum of belt marks, those guys know all about it. Some of them have some of the actual belts. One guy owns the original FIP belt and might sell it. They get replicas of what they one. Triple H has his replicas in his office (see your old Triple H magazine when he came back from quad surgery the first time), Cena has his (they were on the wall when Edge slapped his dad), so on and so forth. Only very few of them get the actual belt, and a new one is not made for every one. They make new ones when the old one is falling apart, like the Big Gold was in 2005 when atista treated it like crap. Missing jewels, and he stuffed it in his bag so the leather was wrinkled beyond repair.

Hope that helped. Thats what i meant! i left out the money part.. dammit. Anyway, yeah. im kinda friends with a former champion in WWE, and they were just given their belt though, so im sure it does happen. Although when this person won it, it was a special occasion, so it may have been a present from the company to this person. Im not naming the person though, as people wreck my head about it.

Also, i believe Jr. Griffey, Ken nailed it.

...You thought they make a new belt for every champion? Yes, actually they do make a new belt for every new champion.

Damn they did a good job on the US belt replicating all the paint chips out of it. They don't get a new one made for every champion. If they do then how do you explain, where you can clearly see creases in the leather in the same spots, the same missing jewels, and same paint chips.

Good. Name plates look the belts look horrible anyway. None of the old school belts had name plates, so it'll be a good 'cost cutting measure' imo. You're right. The NWA "Domed Globe" and "Big Gold" didn't have nameplates. And to reiterate, no; they do not make a belt for every champion. The champion can order one if he wants to but,that's about as far as that goes. Nowadays it's pretty rare for a champion to keep the belt.

vince always keeps the originals and the titles you see at superstars homes are spares "not replicas you see fans with" given to them for remembrance of there first title wins. Percy "Paul bearer" Pringle owns a few but pretty much purchased them. the ones you see on tv are copies of the original cause some superstars cough"warrior" cough are known to lose there titles at airports or have them stolen from them and wwe has spares just waiting to be used in those cases

WWE gives them replica's. Like when people show off their house (Rock is a great example). Those are all replica's in the display case. What do you think they spent thousands so Kane could own his own even though he had it for a day, Edge for 3 weeks, etc.

But the plates ARE removable. 1 title, different name plates. Yea exactly. And, if you wanna cut costs, get rid of useless people like Khali and Mark Henry for crying out loud.

First of all there is no way that WWE is THAT short on money this is a stupid rumour, just another reason why you should go to GOSSIP sites its BS. Seriously, I'm sure most of you ridicule gossip mags (US, OK!, ect.) But these websites are nothing but "educated" guesses and luck. How is that a cost cutting measure? You guys realise that they actually DO make a new belt for every person that wins it, right? When you lose a title in WWE you are given a new belt. Whereas the belt you just won on TV is given to the wrestler who just lost it, as a piece of memorabilia. Ever wonder how event worn championship belts get into circulation amongst belt collectors? the wrestlers that held them sell them off. (of course this usually only happens with wrestlers that are becoming poor or that just dont care for pieces of memorabilia) So this cost-cutting measure obviously means that WWE are no longer going to give out free belts to the superstars that held them. WWE is a "Billion Dollar Company"... why do they need cost cutting measures.. hmmm.. WWE FILMS mustn't have done as well as WWE thought it would... what a shocker.. First off,he said NAME plates (btw, if they got rid of them it would make me so happy). And yes they do make a title for who ever wins it. Even so, no matter how much that costs they shouldn't deny wrestlers that priledge of holding THEIR title. They earned it (most of them). WWE shouldn't be wasting money on....... blowing up limos, dropping $ from the Ceiling, Punjabi parties, cars, "security", divas, Khali, boob jobs, useless talent, and their writers. So they can spend money on all of this but can't buy replica titles for their talent, that's rediculous. IF this is true, which its not.
