The Big Gold Belt was made by Charles Crumrine for the NWA in response to the AWA Championship design. It stayed around until late 2000 when Scott Steiner took it home and kept it once WCW made all gold cast copies.
It made its debut at Battle Of The Belts II and was retired by the WWE after SummerSlam.

"He is The Man that, when he opens up this $7,000 robe, is wearing $35,000 worth the gold, silver, diamonds, and rubies with my name, Ric Flair, written right across the front of it courtesy of Jim Crockett Promotions. The biggest promotional outfit in all of professional wrestling and the National Wrestling Alliance.
Now if I was a woman and I was sitting next to one of those fat, beer drinking men that know nothing about being a world conditioned championship athlete, I'd be saying to myself 'What in the whole world is causing all this?'
Ladies and gentlemen, the class of this sport is before you right now. WOO!"
- Ric Flair

I used to own the WCW replica, but I waited 25 years to get the Crumrine version! Never thought this day would come! WOO!
