Ok for anyone on here who collects WWE replica belts, or any title belts for that matter. Do any of you know how you curve a title belt yourself? I had these bad boys show up today...  And I would like to try to curve them myself without having to send them away. At the very least could I take them to like a local jeweler or something? |

The main plates. They are too flat, and some places will curve them. Looks like this.  Although thats probably too severe a curve for my belts. |

Depending on how thin the plate is, Gentle pressure should slowly get it there.

Take the plate off the strap and place it on your thigh.
Press down on the plates.
Youtube it and you should find some that show you.

I wonder if Neal Snow is still around much, and if he would know how to curve the plate.

Whatever cheap ass metal they use on those things should bend pretty easy. Just do it in slight stages so you don't get too much bend, or more than you want.
Your thighs sounds like a good place to do it.

Ok I was able to do it with the IC title. Take a look.  I didn't bend it over my leg. Instead I used the flat solid railing at the top of my steps. I would slide it over to one side and gently bend, then switch to the other. It took awhile and wore me out, but it turned out good I think. I don't know if I'll do the Version 1 Undisputed, but I will probably do my Winged Eagle. |

I was able to do it with my Winged Eagle too. It was much easier with that.  |
