Big Gold with the NWA belt a close second

The red looked great on TV back in the day.

Yeah but I've always preferred plain black straps. The current WWE IC would be perfect on one.

Those got a classic bad ass look going on.

Though i like the WCW big gold, my favorite is The old WWF HW belt Hogan originally won, i always thought the green belt was so cool. This is followed closely by the old AWA HW belt. I love the blue lettering on it, and i'm not sure if this was the one Nick Bockwinkel wore, but i would see pictures of him when i was a kid and the belt looked massive on him. He looked like such a boss with that thing.

The Green Monster is ugly but I love how it has all the past champions on the sideplates.
Is that the AWA title Stan Hansen ran over?

I know some people don't like the old green, but as a kid i loved it, still my favorite. I have no idea if Hansen ran over that title. Most of my AWA knowledge was just what i read in old wrestling magazines a long time ago. I just vaguely recalled loving that belt, so i looked it up online.

Yeah that AWA title looks great considering it was made in a prison in the mid-70s.

Mostly associated with Nick Bockwinkel, this belt was also held by Verne Gagne, Otto Wanz, Jumbo Tsuruta, Rick Martel, and Stan Hansen.

Coined "The Inmate Belt" because it was made at Denver Penitentiary in 1973 by actual inmates incarcerated there.
It's big, and gaudy and I love it, lol.

This belt replaced the belt Gagne had been using as champion in 1974 I believe, and was used until 1986 when Bockwinkel was awarded the title after Stan Hansen was stripped for no showing a title defense against Bockwinkel.

The reason a new belt had to be made for Bockwinkel was that Hansen had taken the Inmate to Japan with him. When Gagne threatened legal action against him to have the belt returned, Hansen ran it over with his pick up truck and mailed it back.
The Inmate was replaced by a version incorporating old artwork from Gagnes original belt and new artwork.
Many call this the Lawler belt, but it also goes by the Hennig belt or the Zybyszko belt depending on the leather cut and various different details.

The one that replaced it looks like something made in a cheap trophy shop.

Jeff Hardy's belt is also excellent.

I loved the old IC title and i'm glad they've gone back to the design for it now.

Loved it when Warrior had it in the different colours.

As the IC Champ:

As the World HW Champ:

That winged eagle design is cool.

Winged Eagle for me, always.

Ive always loved both of these belts too
If I ever decide to finally get a belt made the AWA is definitely one of the contenders I'll be choosing from

You can buy the one that Hansen ran over from Bockwinkel.
