Nice Guy Eddie 19,939 Posted November 30, 2019 I feel so conflicted. I love Tom Savini's other work, but that belt is so fucking awful. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Curt McGirt 8,606 Posted November 30, 2019 (edited) I kinda like it. If anything it needs more veins. And the HURT/HEAL straps should look like human skin. Edited November 30, 2019 by Curt McGirt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don’t think Savini has anything to do with that. That might be a all merch. Edit: Forget it I just saw the Savini tweet. I’m honestly surprised he didn’t do something more creative. Unless he designed, as in “They reused my mask design, so legally I’m taking credit”. Edited November 30, 2019 by LoneWolf&Subs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Infinit 1,787 Posted December 17, 2019 I don't think I posted this here...at the last ROH show in Toronto, my seats were right behind Bobby Cruise and he was nice enough to let me check out the belts. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Awesome. My granddad had gotten front row seats (so cheap; miss that) for himself and two of my friends for the show at the Spectrum, a few days after Survivor Series ‘95. Tony Chimmel let me hold a tag belt, as we were sat right behind the timekeeper. It was awesome. My friend was gonna get Bret’s sunglasses, but this stupid guy strong-armed him away. I high-fived Bret though after the match while wearing my HBK glasses, “Shawn says...” shirt and dumb hat. I’ll never forget the look he gave me. It was pretty sweet holding the old tag belt though.

AxB 6,503 Posted December 28, 2019 Just realised. The IWGP Intercontinental title is the Intercontinental International Wrestling Grand Prix. The champion of both the Continents and the Nations. Obviously the World Champion is champion of not only the nations and continents, but is also champion of the oceans as well. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reminds me when a buddy and I booked a fantasy fed in our Junior and Senior years...we had the Ocean championship, defended at beach events. Loser had to be held under water for a ten count. Sonny Beach could never defeat Shark. Inevitably, a masked Poseidon made his debut and went undefeated. In retrospect, it’s a wonder I graduated high school. 1 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Natural 25,097 Posted January 4 (edited) Now those are wrestling championships, in booking and design. Always loved these versions of the IWGP Heavyweight Championship and IWGP Intercontinental Championship. The IWGP United States Championship's slowly grown on me.

AxB 6,503 Posted January 5 Are NJPW going to keep the IWGP World & IC belts unified from now on, or will the double champ (no spoilers) be defending both separately? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We're waiting to find out. Slim chance of a vacation of the IWGP Intercontinental Championship for a tournament to crown a new champion. I think both the IWGP Heavyweight Championship and the IWGP Intercontinental Championship will be separated again. The IWGP Intercontinental Championship gives the upper mid-card/main eventers something to go for and the IC Championship has headlined certain tours.

Nice Guy Eddie 19,939 Posted January 7 I'd like to see SANADA win the IC title from Naito, so every member of LIJ has gold. He was so good in his matches with Okada last year that he deserves a title run this year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's giant and gaudy and that just seems right for a foreign company's interpretation of a United States title. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PetrolCB 7,671 Posted Saturday at 02:35 PM For the people that collect these, NJPW will again be releasing replicas in March. They are pricey. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
