HAND CARVED BIG GOLD CRUMRINE BY EPIC QUALITY

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 Ric Flair as the NWA World Heavyweight Champion, 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.
