Outside of a wrestling event? A jersey you can wear and it keeps you warm and dry, and not naked. You can wear it outside of a sporting event. Are you gonna wear a wrestling belt in public when you go christmas shopping at Target? Haha, that little exchange pretty much sums up my feelings on grown men getting those things. They're for rich parents to buy their kids who don't know what they want. Gives us a false sense of pride. ... Please buy some of these off me. |

Its the same reason people spend thousands of dollars a year on cigarettes and or alcohol.
Who cares how old you are?
Its a guilty pleasure thing and since i've decided against going to WM 24 why the hell not?
Madaba if I dont go through with it would you be willing to part with your undisputed title or IC title?

I thought it was cool, at the recent house show I went to, that some guy that had about four titles let kids pose with them and take pictures.
A small counter to the attack on adults that buy titles.

I do not own a replica belt but I don't see why people are confused as why anyone would want one. It's just a cool collectible to own. You don't have to wear it. It's kind of like those replicas lightsabers from Star Wars. Does owning one mean you have to walk down the street with it at your side? No, it's just something to own as a fan.

For me, the confusion is twofold- as 1) I wouldn't have anywhere to put 'em. ans 2) a couple hundred bucks is a truck payment- I can't justify spending that much on ANY collectible.

Exactly not all of us here choose to live in "adult mode" even if we are that age. I do have a replica lightsaber as well as a Sword of Omens (Thundercats for you kiddies) replica sword. |

Ok to be fair, you should wear a replica belt when you go Christmas shopping at Target.
You just might run into Justin Credible or Shane Douglas
TITLE MATCH!

I have a WCW US title. I've been keeping an eye out on eBay for a winged eagle or old IC title going cheap, but no luck.
My argument for why I own one and would purchase more?
A) Who CARES what I spend my money on? B) They're freakin' sweet.

I can totally see myself wearing a replica belt in public, yet I have never in my life owned or worn a wrestling t shirt. What does that say about me?

That would be pretty damn funny to have a a hardcore title replica and get someone at target. and if someone calls the cops explaining the 24/7 rule to them. |

I would get an NWA t.v. title replica. the only issue is that it would probably cost more then the wwe replicas since theyre not mass produced.

I have the toy World Heavyweight Title, which I was bought as a joke, I guess. It hangs above the TV in my bedroom. I'd never pay £100+ for the thing though- it'd be like paying £100 for a wrestling figure.

I'd wear Storm's "World Drinking Championship Belt" at private parties - for obvious reasons...
