The Godfather of Champion Belts
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2024
- Ever marveled at the gaudy belts hoisted and paraded around by the world’s best WWE, WWF and MMA fighters? Well, chances are that Dave Millican made them. For 20 years, the Tennessee-based belt designer has been creating thousands of championship belts used by the world's biggest wrestling and fighting federations. "The Rock says: Thanks Dave!"

this could and should be so much longer
1 hour documentary
Yea this guy should have a channel. Makes me think of tested with Adam savage channel which is currently doing great on yt lol
Lies again? Google Drive Game Design
I'd love to watch a full Netflix doc on this guy & belt making
Project BRE I'd Love it too!
Same
It'd be filled with people that he and his partner Rico Mann screwed over.
They were also taking advantage of Reggie Parks too. That's elder abuse. They are two of the biggest scumbags to have ever been in the belt making business.
I want my belt🏆 @wwe to be a 🦅
Dave Millican is the SCAMMER of belts, not the Godfather.
Reggie Parks is and always will be the Godfather of belts.
Never had a problem and never "scammed" by Millican.
@@CaseyWood-mn9vmjust because you haven’t been SCAMMED BY DAVE MILLICAN doesn’t mean others have not. The AG has gotten involved. There is a class action lawsuit pending. Do some research.
@@CaseyWood-mn9vm Lots of other people have.
would love to see more of the belt design + construction process!
You can find more videos of Reggie Parks, Mike N, and other belt makers doing artwork and designing them. I do not believe Dave has actually ever designed a belt.
Paul Bledsoe y
Pug Dave Millican has never designed to belts. He just simply puts them together. Any new design that he makes that Reggie Parks had not already designed or designed by Rico man.
You don't know that for a fact.
The prototype WWE Tag Belt looks so beautiful!
And takes forever to deliver
1:07 that tag team belt is beautiful
Dave Millican is a really nice guy...pitty this video was not a LOT longer...
An all time scammer apparently
I want to see a beginning to end making of a championship belt, from how they design it, to everything being made and put together, that'd be so cool
always liked the look of the tv title back in the NWA always looked sharp
All these fantastic designs and WWE took the easy route....
Lucas Washington Those other belts were used in different promotions
They should bring back the big Gold belt
If you order a belt today you should get it by 2024, maybe.
Evil Dead Mike Classic Shields is far better
Foxhound
👍 👏👏👏
I ordered one in 2013.. does it really take 10 years?
@@mikerodgers8757 yes it does 10 years+
@@foxhound9781 especially there BG
Video should be longer..
So glad that they paid the respect to Reggie Parks.
This is the guy that took guys for thousands and doesn't deliver in the belts that's been ordered.
Amen
Beena Belt Mark since me and my twin brother made our first Belt when we were little pups! For me personally, I've always enjoyed the Territory Years of Rasslin and the individual area's Lineage of Championship Straps. Enjoyed seeing the early editions of Belts from other parts of the World. Milican and Parks are definitely STARS when Belts are mentioned.
A Dave Millican UFC belt is my grail. Will probably never have the opportunity to own one.
RIP Reggie Parks
I love this guy's work. Keep it up Dave!
He Should be in the WWE Hall Of Fame!
Hall of Fame for being a total scumbag. He owes lots of people belts that he'll never deliver.
I’m not one to collect things like this, in general. Like wrestling, touché to the merch. But there is one belt from Dave I’d love. The 84’ hogan belt. For me it’s there beginning of the belt era(was never a NWA or AWA viewer). So hogan 84 it is
The secret is out on how to make belts. Everyone is finding etchers to make plates with logos. It’s so common now. Once u learn how to do the leather with trial and error u are golden.
RIP Reggie Parks.
Why is this video short? It should be a whole movie about this guy.
You can make one about he scammed his customers too
I couldn't help but notice in the description but wwf and wwe are the same company. just being that guy
Silas
Ralph Wiggum wwf is now technically a different company thats why they blur out their old logo
Actually they dont blure out the logo anymore not since 2012 when wwe and the world wildlife fund met in court. Wwe can now use the scratch logo and everything for archival footage only.
Amazing belt maker, proud to own a few of his belts.
How have i missed this one out of ALL
Damn. Grabbed my popcorn and drink and video was over before I could pause it
Dave should start his own channel and show off his work. Construction process and finishing.
like for Man at Arms and Man at Arms Reforged
I don't recall the penny tags on brown leather and having nameplates under the helmets - they actually look decent like that.
they hand paint that metal. didnt know that.
The UA-cam ad was longer than the video
It raises the question; doesn't beg it.
Such a lot of pride gos into making the belts it would be a hard job to do after a while. If you make a mistake it'd be a costly one aswell.
defintely should of been a couple of hour video
My personal favorite is the big gold belt
That new ROH belt is so beautiful.
True
I would love to get in touch with him on making high caliber belts for my local company
If you have time to wait more than 5 years
@@naitch1761 10 years lol
Sooooo, where is the Docu now...?????????????
How do you know John Cena wears one of his belts when you can't see him?
Because the belt is floating in midair. And yes I know I'm 2 years late. Thank UA-cam recommendations
Why the comments off on your big gold belt video...
How much does each championship belt cost to make?
I might fuck around and learn how to make belts lol
how many belts have you made
So what is his favorite belt! My brother is my moms favorite!
Give Me Them All, No Questions All
KNOWN for making the WWE White Intercontinental Championship, WWE Oval Intercontinental Championship, WWE Winged Eagle Championship, WWE Classic and Attitude Era World Tag Team Championship, WWE and WCW Big Gold Championship, WWE Tag Team Championship (first used by the Hart Dynasty), Raw Tag Team Championship, and SmackDown Tag Team Championship.
Your wrong on most of those. Reggie made the Winged Eagle, as one example.
Fiebings! Respect!
Wonder if he can make New Japan’s IWGP Championships. Especially Junior and Heavyweight..
YuutoHiroshige yes
He made version 3 and 4
Where can we watch the full video?
This is the full video..
step 1....measurements?
thats so awesome
does hemake the metal and metal carving aswell? the smithing?
zinc plate etched in acid by a etching company but he provide the design.
Then the leather is made by Dave the paint and all the assembly.
does anybody know what kind of paints he uses?
Testors model paint, like you use on your glue together models.
whats the tool hes using for the edges?
What brand is the red paint he's using on that nwa title? at 0:59 AWESOME Video
Belt not title
@@MrNWA4Life Fuck off Virgin
It’s a brand called milwarts
I want to become like this man
How much will it cost to make one for a subscriber
You'll never see your title, Millican only makes on time for companies, never for common. Big rip off for common folk
So how much would an exact replica cost?
3500$ up to 10000$ USD
$1200-$3000, roughly.
But Millican doesn't make them for collectors anymore... he'll take the money but won't ever deliver.
they’re beautiful
Man i need a hole doc on title making
Brothers of the belt. Private group on Facebook you will know everything about wrestling belts.
what are the equipment to make the belt
Emmanuel Antwi-Brefo it's very easy. Everything you need to know is online. Hardest part is finding someone to do the plates but go to a local welding shop or something like that and you would be surprised. Watch videos of people crafting leather to get an idea how that aspect works. There's tons of people out there who hate the idea of the average Joe making belts but it's not 1999 anymore it's a pretty easy process to be honest.
didn't occ make that version?
Mark Mccallum the new one OCC yes
What paint do you use for the belts
Testors paint
I’m intrigued as to how the metal plates are made. Surely he uses a laser to cut out the design.
Acid etch zinc plates. 4.2 mm
Etching is done with a machine.
What about boxing belts? I just saw one the green wbc belt
www.masisboxingbelts.com/
And asking him his least favorite belts would be like asking him his least favorite kids which would be all the NEW belts in the wwe wwe championship, universal championship, raw/smackdown women's championships, cruiserweight championship and smackdown/raw tag team championships. All look like toys and don't look like they should matter. Titles need to have a lot of gold and unique designs to look valuable and professional.
can you make a WWE champion belt Universal
big gold/wcw/ world heavyweight belt.....or attitude era eagle they looked like championship belts. worst belt........ spinner belt by far
Dave did not make any of those belts.
Spinner Belt: I'm the ugliest championship.
24/7 championship: Hold my belt.
Shoot. I might have to pay him to make me a replica of the WWE Women's Championship belt. The one that was retired recently.
Come on parents, don't act like you don't have a favourite kid. We all know you do.
Can you make the youtube channel championship belt?.
MMbelts12 is Dave UA-cam channel
Sadly Dave isnt working with WWE anymore
what's the plating made out of
zinc plate 4mm thick
silver and gold plating
Copper, Brass, Nickle, and Gold plating. On occasion they will also do Chrome.
Does he make new japan belts too? Or does new japan have their own belt makers?
He did the last two IWGP belts.
@@MrNWA4Life I read something about New Japan not doing business with Milican on the IWGP Intercontinental Championship after Naito destroyed the original white one. I don't like the current one as it looks very cheap in comparison, but im not quite sure the story behind it.
