Yesterday i went to Queensway shopping centre to do some shopping and i happen to see this wrestling belt in one of the shop selling toys & action figures and i brought it.
If you are one of those wrestling fan from the late 80s to 90s you will probably know this belt. Yes! It is the Intercontinental championship belt, a few of my favourite wrestlers like the Ultimate Warrior, Bret Hitman Hart and Mr Perfect had also won this title belt before.
Although the biggest prize in the WWE is the World Heavyweight Champion, the Intercontinental belt is more like a second prize championship title, but i still like this belt, maybe because i always like to be 2nd not 1st..heehee (humble)! I like the name, because it sound so special. I also like the design, which is simple & nice. However, in 1999, the WWE has changed the design of this belt, the new 'look' is quite similar, except shape of the globe has changed from round to oval, but i still prefer the classic version.
I remembered i even tried to make a miniature one before, by drawing on a white paper, coloured it with a gold marker and paste it on a card-board..haha! so silly. Now i finally got a more 'real' look-alike belt (slightly smaller than the real one) and is kept in my display cabinet. :)
I drew up as a wrestling fan, although it is not real, it is more on entertainment, but i enjoyed watching these brave men doing all those dangerous stunt, manoeuvre and acting. However, i have cut down watching wrestling ever since i started to work and doing my part-time course, but i still visit the web-site & catch the latest news & happening.
