For being such an integral part of wrestling history, wrestling's championship belts often do not get "much play" (except for a couple of cool places on the 'net, like Yahoo! Groups, NWA Midwest, and here). Just wondering, what's everyone's favorite belt design(s) (past or present)?

Hey, my first post and i got a questio
deos anyone know who was the first WCW Light Heavyweight championship and who did he defeat for it?

They could also do this for the WCW HW, US and Tag Team titles.
(these would probally include the NWA titles)

I would love to see this done for the NWA HW and ...
