I love that belt

That's the "Vegas" Big Gold Flair supposedly gave to HHH.

AARRGGHH!!! thats not the Big Gold dammit!

What do you think of the original design? I'm glad Crockett had the foresight to move away from the NWA.

A WWE Hall of Fame ring will be featured on the February 24th episode of The History Channel's Pawn Stars. No word yet on who the ring belongs to.

Probably Sunny's.

@Pliny Pete Did the Hogan 86 debut before or after the Big Gold?

I had never seen this before did you get it off Belt Talk?
I like it but keeping the NWA off of it was obviously the right decision and not just because they left the NWA
Keeping the NWA off made the BG seem bigger than the NWA, made it seem like thee true worldwide title

I googled "big gold original art". It was on BT for a bit but they had to remove it because of course someone tried to make a bootleg version.

Its crazy that Hogan never really had a truly iconic belt until the very last day of his run when he wore the Winged Eagle to the ring and lost it to Andre
I still say that was dumb, they shoulda made a big deal about having a new belt made and introduced it in a ceremony at Wrestlemania 4 or on Superstars the week before WM4

Figs makes a Domed Globe replica now that actually looks pretty good. I don't know about paying $500 though.

Of all Hogans belts I like the Silver & Black Hogan 85 the best
That mystery belt that hes seen wearing in the ring in one picture is a good looking belt too
I really wish someone would uncover the true story of that belt

I don't like the early Hogan belts because they look like secondary NWA titles like the National or TV.

This is the Big Gold
Mahogany leather, white stitching and crown above the globe
Thats a shitty knockoff

 

[My Spot]

Supposedly it was made between the Hogan 85 and 86 belts and Vince didn't like the design so it only appeared on a few house shows.

It almost looks like duct tape.
