Clifton Smith any title of any major Japanese promotion, wether it be the triple crown, GHC, BJ STRONG, dream gate etc. Rev pro and progress treat their world titles properly.
The actual belt is 5 layers and costs $10,000 to make. Dave Milligan himself told me the price (of the actual belt used in Japan, not replica) and he also told he this belt was under trademark with NJPW where he wasnt allowed to make replicas of this belt but he could with any other belt. Idk if that changed but if it didn't, this guy could get in legal trouble if he tries to sell this belt. Very nice belt. I want one lol....
It's fucking beautiful and it feels and look like a prestigious belt. Something that wwe belts has lacked for the last decade with the exception of going back to the old IC title.
there's so many replicas of this title that it's hard for me to find the current one and who's currently holding it now because there will be more IWGP champions in the future and more names will added until the last wrestler gets to hold it and that will be tough to add more names on the belt and the only way that could happen is by making it more longer if not bigger but overall this title means some special and I dare say Japan wrestling's crown jewel of all champions that it makes any wrestling even the past ones who held it as the kings of the ring of all the promotions out there.
I wish I knew how to get one of these. The only ones I have saw seem like sketchy buys so far. This belt is amazing and my favorite belt in all of wrestling.
Love this belt, i got the one from classic shields, I have a brief review on my channel. the gold tip with the IWGP champion on it is a homage to the 1st version of the belt. On my belt the nameplate on the sides are similar size
New Japan is doing another run with this. going to try my damndest to land one and have Ray Ray re-leather it for me. He does damn good work and he is the closest to me too.
Do you know when brother ?? This is literally my favourite belt in wrestling and I HAVE to get one !!! The price might scare me but it’s damn freakin worth it !
Yeah... Paul they go for prices in the £1,000s. It's in real belt money. And you can't get them outside of Japan unless you have a friend to ship 'em over.
Michael Morrow they do ship worldwide but it’s based on a one order per household basis. The shipping is criminally low. It was like $18 to ship it to the US
Warrior316THFC really?! Damn. If only they weren't so much I'd pick one up in the spot lol. I'm in Ireland though... say the shipping wouldn't be that bad
Michael Morrow shipping to the uk would only of been maybe £20 but the customs fees coming in via Japan were going to be horrendous so it was easier shipping to a friend in the US who in turn shipped it here making the customs much more tolerable
P.S I BADLY want one of these and their I.C title as well, they're THE MOST prestigious looking championships in wrestling in my opinion. It's just sad that their actual title is beat to shit and they haven't kept it in good condition ( missing jewels etc.. ).
I would love to see IWGP CHAMP wrestle the NWA CHAMP at some point, whoever they are at that point...these are the 2 championships I recognize as WORLD CHAMPION
I have a question: All the names on the side plates, are those all the Champions that have been IWGP Heavyweight Champion? Or are some left off for whatever reason?
@@eaglesavage4929 Lol, maybe. However, I do want a small modest collection. I already have the WWE Championship and the Big Gold. I want to get the current WWE and IWGP Intercontinental Championships. This beast in the video would be the final piece.
I want to make one out of cardboard and some construction like paper, its a VERY detailed belt and watching this video kind of discouraged me because, again, its a VERY complicated and detailed belt. That being said im going to make another belt first and get a feel for making stuff then maybe make it :)
That's the only Championship Title Belt in Pro Wrestling that's treated as a sports Title and has the look of it. The AEW Title Belt comes close, but they're still more storyline style wrestling than sports presentation they promised to be.
New Japan is doing another replica run on their website fyi. Bad news is its all in Japanese. It would take some work to get it translated so you could understand what all you would need to do to get one. Not sure if they take Paypal or not.
Wait. New Japan wants $2100 for a "replica" that's not only a hollow cast but comes on fake leather with no backing? And how is that better than an ACTUAL 4-layer belt that costs like $1600 less?
Blackie BlackMetal This is a very good replica but I would agree the price is very high. I haven’t seen any good quality detailed copies for under $1k tbh
@@PaulMartinBelts Dude NJPW is ripping us off! Its a HOLLOW CAST for $2100! Have you seen the new Nawaz Iwgp? It makes the official replica look like the official toy belt!
Their actual belt looks absolutely terrible these days. All the gold plating is wore off, the jewels are missing. It's beat to hell. Nice to see what it looked like in its glory.
@@fiend2society It's been busted for some time now. It looked like ass when Okada had it. I thought when Kenny won they'd break out a new one, but it's only gotten worse.

WWE will never have serious side plates like this on their belts, they treat their championships like hot potatoes. A couple of months and there will be out of space for the name tags.

@@anttoneegwess5625 where could one buy one?
@@anttoneegwess5625 how heavy is that belt anyway
; I’ve touched the real one. AJ Styles brought it to Halifax and it’s fucking magic. It has an energy, a real, tangible energy.
I got to feel it when he did a show in Brooklyn 4 years ago. the thing you said about it having an energy: 100% true.
I never knew about the side plates. If only Wwe didn’t change their heavyweight champion so often, it would be as prestigious as this title.
the most prestigious world title in pro wrestling title today!

Beautiful belt. They were sold in Japan for about £1600 but only a very limited run. Great 'get' for whoever owns it!

The Belt costs $2000 and there was definitely more than 12 made.

Great review Paul
I have a question: All the names on the side plates, are those all the Champions that have been IWGP Heavyweight Champion? Or are some left off for whatever reason?
I think it only shows who held the particular version of the belt. But I could be wrong.
All of the former IWGP champions and leaves room for future champions.
Where did he get that replica?
What a beautiful belt😍
Those 4 side plates are soooo sick!! Literally the most perfectly designed belt all around in every way. Eat your heart out WWE.
@Native Sca-Rasta New Japan Pro Wrestling is relevant, it has been for a while, it is literally the second best promotion in the world.
Outstanding replica work ✌🏻
