Great side by side review. I know a paint touch up and curving the middle plate could go along way for the wee big eagle. But wwe needs to do better with this belt. Love the xman belt Definitely a great looking belt
I know they aren't going to offer tv accurate but if they really want people to stay away from bootleg belts then they really need to step up their game. Especially when the defects are an easy fix. Curve the plate, paint the globe correctly and do some nugget texturing and it'll be a lot better. If someone wants real leather and cubic zirconia stones then they can do that afterwards. They can at least make the plates a lot more accurate.
Just ordered a stacked Blue Big Eagle from XMan. I’m a fan of customizing these things. TV accuracy isn’t a big deal as even the TV belts were hand made one offs in their own right.
I'm with you bro the big eagle is my favorite and wwe shop just butchered it..maybe this is one of there belts thats not popular with today's youth ..they probably don't care for this one bcuz it was short lived.
That Stacked Big Eagle Championship Is Absolutely Amazing,How Much Does This Cost You?? Edit: the bootleg IMO is Better looking,I actually dig the stacked plates. Kudos to Xman belts
$450 at the time that I ordered. He's announced that March 1st, all prices will increase. I don't know if DHL raised their shipping costs or if his materials are more expensive.
Shop belts have been trash for decades now smh. Feel bad for people who dont know better hit a show see or hold a Rep in person and just feel they wasted almost $500 on something that is night and day different.
Yeah I just received the Crumrine in last week and I've been pouring over the Big Gold Belt book. Review and comparison video will be uploaded this weekend. I did notice the font in the word champion is two different sizes.
You got lucky on your XMan belt. I purchased 3 of them and each one had issues. They even sent me a belt with one of the side plates curved the wrong way.
He's always done right by me. There was a crooked stone on the main plate and some hairline scratches. He knows ahead of time that his belts are going to be shown on my UA-cam channel so I think that is in the back of his mind before he sends a belt out to me.
@@Mr.Cynical92 Well that is good for you at least. Now for what you pay for I wasn't expecting 100% ring accurate belts. When the snaps come off when I snap it the belt for the first time? Maybe I need to review my belts.
I just got the shop version recently and it was very disappointing compared to the one I got in 2001. It’s so flat and it cannot be curved at all. That’s my biggest gripe about it
@@jamesk1288 like I say it took a lot of time and patience. I heated the main plate by leaving it for a couple of hours next to the window with sun shining through until the metal was hot then I did it over the arm of my couch. I kept doing this a bit every day for weeks and noticed small gains over time until I got a good curve.
They just need to redo the Big Eagle and make it the same quality as the blue logo big eagle. The shop Big Eagle is lousy. I've seen it firsthand and thr fact it's so flat and the "Addition " to Canada is just unacceptable. And people wonder why people still buy bootleg lol. Appreciate the comparison! Grats on your Xman belt!
I'm aware that the original belt was never stacked. I specifically ordered it stacked because I felt J-Mar was lazy in his design and didn't add any depth to the belt. The stacking isn't for everyone, it's an acquired taste. I didn't like the original big eagle because it resembled a "gold plated hub cap" as you heard me call it in the video.
I already have two ORM belts. My HD Wrestlemania IV Winged Eagle and Undisputed V1 are both made by ORM. I'm in the middle of replacing this Big Eagle after my house fire, it isn't being done by ORM or X Man Belts.
I'm just reviewing a belt. I'm not going to ignore the issues that a belt has, especially if someone who is considering ordering one watches this video. WWE Shop has pulled the scratch logo big eagle from its website. Assuming that they have heard the criticism from the belt collecting community and are making tweaks to the belt to make it better. I don't say anything that isn't true in my videos. I point out and call attention to any defects that I find with any belt.
To be fair getting the colour wrong is a pretty big deal considering the globe sticks out with it being right in the middle of the belt. It’s such an easy thing to get right
That Stacked Big Eagle is Gorgeous,it wipes the WWE shop version off the board
Great side by side review. I know a paint touch up and curving the middle plate could go along way for the wee big eagle. But wwe needs to do better with this belt. Love the xman belt Definitely a great looking belt
People need to stop thinking that WWE is going to give us *"TV ACCURATE"* belts. They never will.
I know they aren't going to offer tv accurate but if they really want people to stay away from bootleg belts then they really need to step up their game. Especially when the defects are an easy fix. Curve the plate, paint the globe correctly and do some nugget texturing and it'll be a lot better. If someone wants real leather and cubic zirconia stones then they can do that afterwards.

@@Mr.Cynical92
That's what I'm saying, it's not going to happen. All we can do is enjoy the products or not enjoy the products
The Undisputed V2 and the United States title is pretty damn accurate in my opinion.
Blue Big Eagle is fantastic
Them they shouldn't call it replica belts

@@MikeMAB-o3h Make sure you opt for the 24k gold plating. I ordered the standard 18k plating and wish I had opted for 24k.
@@Mr.Cynical92 I went the 24k route. Based on the updates, it’s looking pretty good. Looking forward to seeing the end result.
Do XMan belts have a website I can place my order??
They have a Facebook page, X Man Belts
The Big Eagle belt I got from WWE Shop years ago has a curve and the right shade of blue. Shame the quality has gone down.
I'm with you bro the big eagle is my favorite and wwe shop just butchered it..maybe this is one of there belts thats not popular with today's youth ..they probably don't care for this one bcuz it was short lived.
God damn the stacked plates are hideous
Thought I was the only one. Not sure why you would even want stacked plates on a belt that wasn’t stacked.

@@Mr.Cynical92 I seen
A Bootleg of this exact belt,and the price was $133 on eBay,of course I didn't fall for it,but yea it definitely caught my eye
I just ordered one. It’s $400 or $450 with 24k gold paint.
Shop belts have been trash for decades now smh.
Feel bad for people who dont know better hit a show see or hold a Rep in person and just feel they wasted almost $500 on something that is night and day different.
The newer belts aren’t trash. But they did drop the ball with the Big Eagle.
Since you mentioned about the font issue. It's the same issue with the new crumrine version
Yeah I just received the Crumrine in last week and I've been pouring over the Big Gold Belt book. Review and comparison video will be uploaded this weekend. I did notice the font in the word champion is two different sizes.
@@Mr.Cynical92 yeah it looks great though but the font issue is too noticeable IMO

It can be curved as I’ve curved mine. It just took some time and patience but it looks a lot better now.
@@shaun2908 how did you do it? I’ve tried multiple times and I’m a fairly strong guy. I’ve tried bending it on my knee, couch, and step stool

Unless the real belt is stacked, I'm not a fan of them.
I'll be honest. Not a fan of the stacked Big Eagle.
The stacked belt isn’t accurate to the real belt used on WWF tv the original never had stacked plates. The wwe shop is and worst example

Want the real one? Go ORM. But your paying

Are you serious right now

This guy dissect too much
You're right. I should just condense it to "me like belt" or "me not like belt" for simple people.
