Great video, and cool belt. 👍 I got my winged eagle WM4 version. HD hand crafted with the two diamonds on the gold tip. Hand etching makes all the difference.

I wonder if they’d be able to make “HEAVYWEIGHT” and the WWF logos as relief pieces. I’m hoping to get one of these next year and I’d feel like those things would make this absolutely perfect for me. Thanks for this detailed video!

Hella nice belt man. Well done.

I'm glad you talked about the dual plate. I made my own cardboard belt when I was in grade 5 and the way I coloured it, it was dual plated. However just last month I bought a WWE shop replica and it is just gold. When I compared it to my cardboard one I was confused as to why I colored it silver and gold, so I started googling pictures and it's really hard to find a picture with an actual WWF wrestler with a dual plated version. That or it's just hard to tell in pictures . Anyways after seeing these dual plated ones online through various belt makers I now don't like my WWE shop replica because 1. The dual plate looks way better and 2. It's as if my hand drawn cardboard one is more authentic haha! I mean obviously as a kid(I'm 41 now) I saw a dual plated version on someone. I'm just curious how often it was used in comparison to a single plate only gold version.

Bro, I also made a cardboard winged eagle when I was in gr 5 haha, I honestly with I woulkd have kept it! I made it with a light blue globe and always told myself, if i ever get a proper WE I would want the light blue. WEll my friend, I made a video on it, check it out! kzread.info/dron/xCAbgbvzSasWBx11y0u9KQ.html

My all time favorite belt growing as a kid in the 80’s and i been wanting this belt for a long time and wwe had a wwf version before but the side bars was never attached like it is now. Also it was 2 mm but they made a master series with the side bars attached to the main plate but it was also screwed to the strap as well, but the asking price was $1500 which i couldn’t afford. But i’m glad they fixed it made it the right way but without the f unfortunately 😢, but i’m cool with that. If you don’t mind me asking how much did you pay for it and how long was the wait time?

I always thought it was interesting that the belt Randy Savage wore to the ring at WM5 and the belt Hogan celebrated with at WM5 weren't the same belts. They swapped them out under the time keepers table and Randy got to take the Velcro belt home, Hogan got a copy of the first WE, but with a longer strap and a tighter cut.

I want to buy this belt so badly!!

Winged Eagle belt is #1.

Looks great this is the one I've been wanting for years now. Would you mind telling me the price for the full complete belt as well as the wait time? I appreciate it in advance. Thanks.

I'm look thru many pictures of this belt starting from when Randy Savage first won it in 1988 and I can't see to notice in them that the "WORLD" banner is raised (thick) that much. Was there any versions of that one carried by any wrestlers from 88-98. I have yet to notice any.

Belt debut origin; The main event February 5 1988. Hulk Hogan lost the belt to Andre then Andre give the belt to Ted Dibiase. The belt was dual plate nut sure about the relief world piece. Original belt maker Reggie Parks.

Hey Grant, the million dollar question. I got the exact same belt, but Feb. 2020 rush order. Can you explain if it’s worth the money to re-leather. Cs has really stepped up their leather work. I planned on getting new leather, however; the leather work was so good it kind of doesn’t make sense. Let me know what makes Romeo Anderson work so much better then CS new stamped leather belts. Thx. Ps: great review.

I’ve spent a few hours today looking at photos of this belt and yes, some variants of the belt DID have a relief plate but never this size. Maybe a couple millimetres at best. It was on the Savage ‘88, Hogan ‘89 and Bret Hart ‘96. None seemed as noticeable as the Savage ‘88 from what I can gather. The others were barely visible.

Tony Aragon Thanks for letting me know, now I know how much I would have to save.

I always wondered why on Randy Savage’s belt, Heavyweight was not painted black. I wonder if Vince did that because if his size, as we all know he prefers bigger guys representing his titles. I also think it sucks that Randy had to wear a belt that for one, didn’t fit him as he was holding it for Hogan, and was held on him with Velcro, and the WWF plate did not say champion, rather it said HULK HOGAN. That would have bugged him, I would have thought. But as we know, he was consummate professional and did what was right for business. To me, Randy Savage will always be the true first champion to wear the winged eagle, as he won it at WM4 through to WM5.
