The Natural Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 This photo is new to me. March-June 1998 I assume as it's the first version of the new WWF Championship belt the RAW after WrestleMania XIV and it's the block logo. What say you, @The Green Meanie?

PetrolCB Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Yeah, that's the new one. Shortly thereafter Austin went and had the Smoking Skull made on his own, which pissed off Vince, but ended up working in the long run. There were also two Smoking Skulls. The gold we know and a silver one, which is pretty awesome looking. He chose the former, obviously. Deadly Games was the debut of the black scratch logo Big Eagle for The Rock after winning the tournament. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew Steve Austin went and made a Smoking Skull belt which pissed Vince McMahon off but I didn't know about a silver version. The scratch logo went through Deadly Games gold on black then the actual colours of the Attitude Era WWF, white and red which was my favourite version of that WWF Championship.

Here's Joe Marshall (JMAR) when he delivered the two for Austin. He did all of the new belts that year ('98). Its when they stopped using the Reggie Parks titles (sadly) and went with JMAR and then subsequently wanted to keep things more in-house with the rights, which is where the early 2000s belts come in.

zendragon Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 whats the story behind that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raziel Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Before Hogan dropped the belt to Andre in 88 (and they changed the belt design to the classic Winged Eagle), they toyed with this one, which had Hogan's picture in the middle (like the current NWA Women's Belt). Only ever showed up on house shows. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Green Meanie Posted November 1, 2020 Share Posted November 1, 2020 Pretty much. This one turned up after the Hogan 85 and Hogan 86 but before the Winged Eagle. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramo2653 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 3 of the 4 make sense (Brock, Seth and Roman) the other one (Bray) seems like an anomaly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
