    Wrestlingworld is selling the winged eagle belt for £240 ($390 = 271 euros) while Highspots are selling it for £185 ($300 = 209 euros). So unless WrestlingWorld's S&H is £55 ($90) cheaper than Highspots you're getting screwed.

    And that's why you do a bit of research before buying.

    I don't know anyone with the winged eagle belt for sale. I've seen the belt in person though, be warned it's smaller than your average world title - probably smaller than the The Undertaker's current. The "9 inches tall" center medallion is only technically true, because it's more of a circle with bits jutting out on top and on the sides - the "main" part of the belt looks to be 8 inches; which seems a lot smaller than the Attitude Era belt's ( which I have :) ) 10 inches.

    I personally would've wanted the winged eagle belt over the Attitude Era belt but after seeing the replica I'm glad I have my one.

    Maybe head into WrestlingMania on stephen's green, they might have that replica there so u can have a look.

    u misunderstand im not looking for a brand new one, a 2nd hand bargain will do, and i know what size it is as i have it in blue aswel as the current world title!

    wrestlingmania in the green is a RIP OFF!!

    Ah, but if you do even more research, you'll see that you're guaranteed to not get a customs charge with WrestlingWorld, whereas with Highspots, it's possibly (and likely, it would seem, as of late) that there will be a lovely "give us money" letter from the Customs people.


    I bought a pair of K-Swiss runners before, they were about €100, and the customs charge was approx. €45. So imagine the cost of it if it were applied to the cost of the belt (that is, assuming it isn't just naturally higher for clothing items or something).

    I'd rather take my chance with Wrestling World, to be honest, plus you'd get your belt in less than a week (I got my US Spinner in two days). I'm not saying anything bad about Highspots, now, just thati think you're safer to stick with WrestlingWorld for an expensive purchase.



    OP, second hand belts can be a bit tough. Most people around here (north east/ireland) will most likely have purchased from WrestlingMania, so if they're gonna sell their belt, they're not gonna want to take too much of a hit on the price they paid, meaning you'd still probably be cheaper to go online and order off WrestlingWorld anyway.


    Also, though it's none of my business, may i recommend you purchase a different belt? If you already have the belt in blue, unless it's damaged and you're looking for new parts, then it seems like a bit of a waste to buy the same belt again. Though if you have your mind set on it, then all i can say is best of luck with getting your hands on one. Hopefully you'll get a decent price.

    Aha! You could get them to mark the package as a 'gift' and there shouldn't be customs tax. Heard about that extra tax; complete bs! I think i've only ever bought a t-shirt from WrestlingMania but just mentioned it so u can have a look at the physical belt without buying.

    I asked one of my friends who has it but no luck. Maybe try eBay? I'll keep a look-out for anyone who wants to sell or trade.

    Best of luck :)

    They won't mark it as a gift, sadly. The only online people I've come across that were willing to do that were all on eBay, oddly enough.

    Highspots are pretty strict :(


    Happy New Year all :)

    i got it for myself as a birthday present from wrestlingworld, as i was into the warrior at the time and still am, BUT I would rather a black one that more champs wore inc my hero the hitman. surely someone would be interested in my belt! its in great condition, like new but i dont get much joy from it anymore it just hangs on my wall. so i was looking to sell this one or my world title to pay for a black one or trade or somethin
