The closing mechanism these days is most often velcro. The snaps you can see are most often just ornamental. It makes it easier to put the title on and take off.

These humans are so talented👏👏👏
That was interesting to watch! Crazy that they only showed clips of WWE and not the other companies. Listen, I get it, World Wrestling Federation/Entertainment is the main company for many years but let's not forget where most of these superstars came from. TNA Wrestling, Ring of Honor, New Japan Pro Wrestling, Chikara Pro, CZW, Women of Wrestling, NWA, World Championship Wrestling. Another note, wish I can find someone that can restore my replicas that I have. They definitely need a good do over since it's been so many years of owning the few I got, lol.
the soft metal castings are known as "match plates" in the casting industry. they eliminate the need to model in clay or wax every time. this allows serial production of identical castings. it also ensures much greater detail.
1:25 dude in the Virtual audience was devastated miz won 😂😂
WWE world heavyweight belt is the most iconic belt ever.
2:03 that guy didn't design the WWE Title. That's the Orange County Chopper guy who took WWE's design and did some computer work to convert the file so their machines could cut out the pieces of the title.
I would love to be a belt maker
Jam that Jam😁😁😁
I hand cut and fabricated an entire belt from eighth inch thick metal. Came out pretty dope, but unexpectedly way too heavy. My pops, who's been a metal fabricator for 40 years, complimented my craftsmanship. You'd be surprised to learn how impossible it is to find someone to do etching on a custom title belt.
Vince - it’s NOT a belt it’s a TITLE!!
The current WWE belts with BIG A** W logo just a mockery on how beautiful the older belt are. It's like the current belt no longer have creativities.
Clearly ZERO research went into this video 😂 Maybe if you did that rather than lift images from other people it would have been an informative video.

i guess kayfabe gold belts are actually tin. lol. diamonds are probably bedazzled cubic zirconia.
Muy buen video explicas todo correcto, pero repites mucho las imagenes q pusiste en un principio ya no es divertido de ver :/
I’m pretty sure no one thought the process of making them was industrial…..
Was Cody Rhodes's first run TNT title belt not yet electroplated? Is that why it wasn't shiny yet?
Little disappointing that it’s tin and not actually solid gold but it makes sense.
Was this the only thing that happened in the company that didn't go through Vince Mcmahon for approval?

That new beautiful U.S Championship title design (only 2nd to the 2002 Undisputed Championship) should've been used for the new WWE Championship. & not just the big W they adopted from the WWE Network logo all that time back.

I met Dave Millican at Starrcast 1 in 2018. SUPER nice guy. He indulged my belt nerd questions over the course of 3 days. Ran into him the following year waiting for our Uber's after AEW Double or Nothing, the night the AEW belt was unveiled. He actually remembered me. Even pulled out his phone and showed me pics of the process of creating the belt!
This guy clearly doesn’t know how a wrestling belt is made. He clearly shows boxing belts, which aren’t made the same way. Wrestling belts are zinc plates that are acid etched. They are not cast copies
They definitely used synthetic diamonds
I'll take the old fashioned, no computer consulted or utilized, method.
That’s a lot but hella cool
Since 2003 whoever designed the WWE belts needs to be fired. It's sad that belts made 30 years ago look better than this garbage they have now.

@@GamingNewsIn60you obviously missed the joke.😄... when McMahon was around he prohibited wrestlers from calling them belts or straps...there is a long list of words that you couldn't say on WWE tv like "pro wrestling", "wrestler", "fan base", "crowd", etc...cause he wanted to distinguish WWE as being above everyone else's promotion. It was an ego thing...that list has shortened when Vince left but some words still remain due to the established branding that was created... although there have been instances where wrestlers have let it slip out but it was mostly to establish the new management and stick it to Vince cause they are no longer reprimanded for saying it like before.

I’d really love to see the concepts taken to wwe that got rejected for the standard boring logo belts they have today
Even before watching this video I knew it had to be time consuming to make the belts but the current WWE Titles excluding the US Title are very bland and boring looking. I know its not the belt makers who come up with those designs. I'm sure they're just going by what WWE wants but they have no character to them.
Honesty tin? If not gold they should at least be silver then gold plated. I mean I get the symbolism but they should hold monetary value as well. If not, all you really have is a hunk of worthless metal. I know the UFC belts are made with two pounds of pure gold. Not that you would, but in theory that belt melt value would be roughly $60,000.00 alone… now that’s something worth fighting for!
