Rick Martel’s AWA Heavyweight Title

Rick Martel’s AWA Heavyweight Title

TRB has created a stunning three layer version of the AWA title for Heavyweight Champ, Rick Martel. We created all new artwork for this version and incorporated the old school feel of the original belt. There are more than a dozen different colors of Swarovski crystals used on this version. Check out the elaborate purple stone at the top that is surrounded by several smaller clear crystals. The final touch to this belt is the custom embroidery on the back. Rick told me he was floored by the quality of the belt and it turned out far better than he had even hoped for. TRB loves compliments like that. It is why we take such pride in what we do.

    Don’t think the belt made for The Shiek’s movie has any close resemblance to that ,.,. I remember as a young teenager going to see the Shiek many times in small arenas around my home and The Shiek’s US Heavyweight title was a Mulka style casting in the shape and style of the US title worn in the 70′s by Mullgan, Flair, Wahoo McDaniel, and Jimmy Snuka.,,.. on the red (actually pink due to wear) leather backing ,.,.,.

    Sheik held the title off and on from 1963 to 1980.  This is similar to one of the many belts he had.

    I’m pretty sure my local indy is using this and passing it off as the “original”. Of course, the company’s owned and ran by Sheik’s nephew (Captain Ed), so…

    Jay, first “The Captain” Ed Farhat Jr is the SON of The Sheik.  Sabu is the nephew.  Second they are using this belt but not “trying to pass it off as the original” title belt.  This is an update on a belt that the Sheik used in the 60′s and not an exact replica.  So…you have a few of your facts wrong.
