Big Gold Belt

The original Big Gold Belt first used in the National Wrestling Alliance, then World Championship Wrestling, and finally World Wrestling Entertainment (then known as the World Wrestling Federation). WWE would reintroduce the design for the World Heavyweight Championship in 2002, incorporating their logo.

The Big Gold Belt is a historic professional wrestling championship belt that has represented titles in multiple promotions throughout its history.

Originally designed in 1985 by silversmith Charles Crumrine and commissioned by Jim Crockett Promotions for NWA World Heavyweight Champion Ric Flair, the championship belt has three large gold plates with a distinctive name plate onto which the champion's name was etched. While not the first wrestling championship belt to incorporate a name plate, it popularized the concept. The original championship belt design was known for being unbranded as it only read "World Heavyweight Wrestling Champion" and bore no initials or trademark of its owning promotion.
