Old School Fan Posted March 1, 2022 Author Share Posted March 1, 2022 Custom WWA International Television Tag Team Championship (for use in Rise of a Star) While this was an actual championship in Worldwide Wrestling Associates and its predecessors from 1954 to 1963, I couldn't find any reference photos of the belts that represented that title, so I decided to create a title belt from scratch.

Old School Fan Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 NWA International Tag Team Championship (Vancouver, 1980s) This is an approximate recreation of the tag team championship used by All-Star Wrestling in Vancouver from 1982 until it left the NWA in 1985. The reference for that title belt is from this YouTube clip here (starting at about 2:30 into the clip). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kubikiri Asa Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Check out available emboss and engrave effects, those will enhance the text and make it look more realistic since it adds depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old School Fan Posted March 12, 2022 Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 Check out available emboss and engrave effects, those will enhance the text and make it look more realistic since it adds depth. I did a rework of the lettering on the center plate using an emboss effect as you suggested, and not only did it turn out better, it actually comes closer to how the center plate on the real belts looked back then. Thanks for the advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old School Fan Posted March 15, 2022 Author Share Posted March 15, 2022 NWA Canadian Heavyweight Championship (Vancouver, 1980s) This is an approximate recreation of the singles championship used by All-Star Wrestling in Vancouver as its main singles title from 1982 until 1987, then as its secondary singles title after that until the promotion folded in 1989. The reference for that title belt is here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReapeR Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 These are absolutely great. Especially like the variations with the IC plate. Most real titles have a slight curve to them. I would suggest making your gradient vertical (90). That will give the title a more balanced look from side to side instead of top to bottom. However, keep the great work. We can never have to many title makers on here. R 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably go back and rework some of the earlier belts I uploaded to put that vertical gradient in to make them look more realistic.

Old School Fan Posted March 19, 2022 Author Share Posted March 19, 2022 Custom NWA North American Women's Championship (for use in Rise of a Star) While no such championship was ever (to my knowledge) sanctioned by the NWA itself IRL, there had been such a title used by Stampede Wrestling on-and-off from 1971 to 1988. The photo appearing in the picture window in the center plate is of real-life roller derby skater Joan Weston, as she and this title will make appearances in upcoming posts of my Rise of a Star diary as it soon moves into 1967.

Old School Fan Posted March 29, 2022 Author Share Posted March 29, 2022 AWA World Tag Team Championship (pre-1969) This is an approximate recreation of the AWA's main tag team championship belts, used prior to 1969. The reference for that title belt is here; I could only get the basic design of the belt plates and had to wing it for the details because of the lack of close-up detail available in the source photo.

Old School Fan Posted March 30, 2022 Author Share Posted March 30, 2022 NWA Florida Tag Team Championship (1968) This is an approximate recreation of the first regularly-used version of the NWA Florida Tag Team Championship belts, dating back to 1968. The reference for that title belt is here; only the center plate is featured because the source I used did not show side plates on the belt, if any.

Old School Fan Posted April 19, 2022 Author Share Posted April 19, 2022 WWWF United States Tag Team Championship (mid-1960s) This is an approximate recreation of one of the versions of the WWWF United States Tag Team Championship belts, circa the mid-1960s (the center plate on this championship, dating back to when it originated as the Capitol Wrestling version of the NWA United States Tag Team Championship, was replaced with each new year, with the specific year [e.g. 1960] being stamped on that plate at that point).

Old School Fan Posted April 22, 2022 Author Share Posted April 22, 2022 WFWA Canadian Heavyweight Championship This is an approximate recreation of the championship belt used by Winnipeg independent promotion the West Four Wrestling Alliance, from about the mid-1980s to 1994; its design is based on that of the Canadian Heavyweight Championship belt used by All-Star Wrestling in Vancouver in the 1980s, but the center plate was cast in bronze with the WFWA initials added in the middle.

Old School Fan Posted May 21, 2022 Author Share Posted May 21, 2022 NWA World Tag Team Championship (Vancouver, 1966-1968) I created this title belt from scratch because, while this title was used IRL by NWA All-Star Wrestling in Vancouver from June 1966 to near the end of May 1968, I haven't been able to find a photo for the title belts.

Old School Fan Posted June 12, 2022 Author Share Posted June 12, 2022 Canadian Heavyweight Championship (Montreal) (for use in Rise of a Star) This belt, created for my diary, contains bilingual stamping on the center plate, reading "Canadian Heavyweight Champion" in English on top and "Champion Canadien de poids lourds" in French on the bottom.

Old School Fan Posted August 6, 2022 Author Share Posted August 6, 2022 NWA Pacific Coast Heavyweight Championship (Vancouver) (for use in Rise of a Star) This belt, created for my diary, uses outlines of First Nations totem poles on the side plates as a connection to the title's Pacific Northwest regional roots. Although it originated in 1970 IRL in NWA All-Star Wrestling as the promotion's top singles title, in my diary ITTL, it originated in 1967.

Old School Fan Posted August 11, 2022 Author Share Posted August 11, 2022 (edited) Canadian Women's Championship (for use in Rise of a Star) This belt was created to put on Renée Martel as part of my Rise of a Star diary, as seen by the engravings on the side plates of the belt (which will be changed for whoever holds the belt). The center plate itself is inscribed "Canadian Champion Girl Wrestler" and, as shown, contains an inlaid miniature gold crown and several gems. Below is a larger version of the belt with the plates only, to give a better detailed view: Edited December 1, 2022 by Old School Fan Updated link 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
