The Godfather of Champion Belts
Рет қаралды 298,982
Күн бұрынEver 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!"

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.

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.

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.
