The Most Beautiful Wrestling Championship Belts Ever: WWE, WCW, AEW, NJPW & More

What is the most beautiful championship belt in professional wrestling history? Professor Degree and special guest Kurt Jangle are opening the championship belt vault and judging wrestling gold on one thing: how damn good it looks. From universally beloved classics like the WCW Big Gold Belt, WWF Winged Eagle Championship and NWA “Ten Pounds of Gold” to the white-strap Intercontinental Championship, IWGP Heavyweight V4 and some considerably deeper cuts, we're celebrating the artistry behind wrestling's greatest prizes. Along the way, we dig into the history, designers and stories behind championships from WWE, WCW, AEW, NJPW, NWA, ROH, AWA, CWA and NXT — including classic territory belts, modern masterpieces and a few choices that may require some explaining. Which belt looked like it belonged around the waist of the most important wrestler in the world? Which designs have aged beautifully? And which underrated pieces of championship gold deserve a lot more love? It's wrestling history, belt-maker nerdery and extremely strong opinions about gold plates attached to leather.
