Isn't it? I was watching my Dusty Rhodes and Ric Flair DVD's and they talked about the NWA title and it was the big gold belt. I was always under the assumption that the big gold belt became the NWA title. Yet people differ in my opinion. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dd9YOmMDnLU |

The Big Gold Belt was essentially the belt made for Flair. Considerhis character, it adds up. When he was in NWA, it was the title there, ditto for WCW.

Actually, the belt you see now in TNA (or at least the design) is what the NWA belt has been since the 70's of its existence. If go and watch Dusty and Race's reigns they carry the now TNA title. On the cover of the Dusty DVD blur out/color in the design. Jim Crockett had the BGB made for Flair when they went national because he thought the original title wasn't impressive enough. When Crockett/WCW broke from the NWA, the kept the BGB and the NWA went back to the original.

I was always under the assumption that the big gold belt became the NWA title. Yet people differ in my opinion. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dd9YOmMDnLUYou seem to misunderstand. The title is that of "World champion" The belt is merely a trouphy used to signify that this man is the reigning World champion. Belts change all the time. That does not effect the title. Rather than follow the belt you need to follow the linage of the championship. But as far as the 10 pounds of Gold itself goes here is a link to help you follow: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Gold_BeltThere are a few errors but it's close enough to help you follow the belt itself. |

The article on the history of the belt that's linked to as a source in the wikipedia page does a great job of explaining it.
