6:15 - hey that’s my (current) title! Wildcat was great to work with. They were always very responsive to my status updates because I gave them a very tight timeline before the show we were set to debut it at Northern Lights Wrestling here in Saint Paul. Wildcat isn’t the cheapest - but the quality and customer service is worth the price. Thanks for showcasing them, sir. (Been following the channel for years and read two of your books)
I wish that some of these wrestling promotions used an old-school belt in the vein of a belt like Gene Kiniski's NWA belt, or Bruno's first WWWF belt. (Maybe there are, but I do not know of any.)
Could you please share some tips on how to maximize being in a faction/stable/wrestling group and how to coexist with your faction mates when there's a clash of ideas.
@@TilWeMakeIt I know some do via acid etching, others do CNC’ing, some probably a combination or both along with hand etching with certain tools. It makes sense if his are CNC’d and so sent off because the CNC machines I think start at around $10K for a decent sized one iirc. Thanks for the reply too, love your content and was super happy to see this video because I am a belt mark since spotting the Winged Eagle & the Reggie IC over 30 years ago now.
I regularly watch videos of custom belt makers and love all the cool designs they come up with, so it was cool to see it in this context. This video was made of CHAMPIONSHIP material (dad joke , yes i know)@@TilWeMakeIt
I dig the content. But I have to ask one very disrespectfull question about your nose. Even tho I am drunk rn I am legit interested in an answer. (I also gonna sub emmediatly after asking this question)....are you a huge fan of wine?. Or just a little above the average?

Thank you for this - and for checking out the channel and books, too!
YOU KNOW WHY ~ I almost beat you last night for that!
@@kenedephynce almost, but didn’t. Better luck next time, amigo.
A different video than your typical content but I really enjoyed it!
I’m glad, thanks Aaron!

I found it interesting that he doesn’t etched the premium belts himself, I figured he was like Reggie or JMAR and did it himself, cool to learn.
Is the etching still commonly done by hand? I must admit, I don’t know much about that part of the process

@@PW.Skyline.V37 Thanks! I only just learned of CNC from chatting with Andrew at Wildcat, so this has been a real education for me!
Glad to hear the process from the man behind the gold
Yes, an interesting topic, to be sure. I’m amazed there isn’t a documentary about this
The Process 👍
What did you think of this one?

I want the Cardona Internet Championship
At one time he did outsource the plates. I knew who he did it to. Im sure he isnt making the plates inhouse.
