"The definitive history of the most famous championship wrestling belt in the world." - Bruce Mitchell, Pro Wrestling Torch "Dick Bourne is the Indiana Jones of title belt archeology." - Mike Johnson, PWInsider.com "Like the famous belts Bourne writes about, this book shines with a luster worthy of its own championship crown." - Mike Mooneyham, Charleston Post & Courier Wrestling's most celebrated championship belt is examined as never before: its origins, its secrets, its amazing story. It is commonly known as the "Big Gold belt" and it has been photographed up-close in amazing detail, on both the original 1986 brown leather and the black leather that replaced it. Plus, for the first time since 1991, the original 1986 "Ric Flair" nameplate is back on the belt. The book includes a special interview with Ric Flair about the earliest days of the Big Gold belt. Plus, special photographs with the "Nature Boy" taken earlier this year as he was reunited with the belt for the first time in over 14 years. From 1986-2000, the Big Gold belt represented the NWA, WCW, and WCW International world titles. And don't forget the "Real World Championship" in the WWF in 1991! Twenty-six different champions held the belt throughout those years. Complete, detailed background on the companies and craftsmen that were involved in making the belt, both the plates and the leather. Plus the real story of who had the belt made, why it was made, and how it was delivered. Dozens of details, large and small, never known or published before. The book includes a complete title history of the belt including all three different championships it represented over 14 years. Plus rare archival documents and concept art from Crumrine Jewelers, amazingly detailed photographs, related memorabilia, and much more. From North Carolina to Nevada to the sunshine state of Florida, follow along the amazing journey of the creation of the Big Gold belt. Also included is a brief foreword by the voice of Mid-Atlantic Wrestling for four decades, broadcaster Bob Caudle and a special introduction by legendary wrestler and manager James J. Dillon. Dillon managed Ric Flair and the Four Horsemen when Flair defended the Big Gold belt around the world. Over 200 pages of Big Gold history, over 120 color photographs, and dozens of rare documents and illustrations. It's the Big Gold belt as you've never seen it before. "...expecting nothing but top-notch research and insight into one of wrestling's most notable belts. I wasn't disappointed. This is a great book." - Tim Hornbaker on WrestlingClassics.com, author of "National Wrestling Alliance" "The Big Gold is a diamond among wrestling belts. And as "Nature Boy" Ric Flair has often proclaimed, "Diamonds are forever!"- James J. Dillon, from the foreword to the book "Big Gold"

Black and white version of the previously released color version. This is the long awaited follow-up to "Ten Pounds of Gold" and "Big Gold." Like those books, this book is FULL COLOR and features beautiful photography of the belts, both original and replica. Mike Mooneyham of the Charleston Post and Courier writes "Bourne strikes gold with new book on U.S. wrestling title." In 1975, Jim Crockett, Jr. and George Scott created the United States Heavyweight Championship for the Mid-Atlantic Wrestling territory. For the next 13 years, 21 of the the greatest names in professional wrestling, including 13 future WWE Hall-of-Famers, proudly wore one of five different title belts that represented that championship. The list of names that held this title reads like a Who's Who: Harley Race, Johnny Valentine, Terry Funk, Paul Jones, Blackjack Mulligan, Bobo Brazil, Ric Flair, Ricky Steamboat, Wahoo McDaniel, Magnum T.A., Tully Blanchard, Lex Luger, Dusty Rhodes, Barry Windham and many others. Jim Crockett Promotions' United States Championship explores these five classic title belts, and tells all the stories of the angles, feuds, and controversies throughout the title's history. There were other regional U.S. championships during the territory era, but this was the biggest and the most widely recognized of them all, and it served as the historical foundation for the United States Championship recognized by the WWE today. The book includes: - An exhaustive title history of the championship from its inception in 1975 until the sale of Jim Crockett Promotions to Ted Turner in 1988. All the angles, storylines, feuds, and big matches. - A detailed look at the design of all five Crockett U.S. championship belts and how they were made, with expert input from belt-maker "Ace of Belts" Dave Millican. - Historical photographs of all the champions wearing all of the different versions of the belts they held. - Brackets and results for all five U.S. title tournaments during the Crockett years. - A look at where the title belts are today. - A brief look at other U.S. championships in other territories during the NWA territorial years. - A brief look at later U.S. championships that traced their title history to the Crockett U.S. title. - Trivia and statistics. - Heritage and legacy. - Over 100 photographs of both the champions and the belts, most in full color! "Dick Bourne is the Indiana Jones of title belt archeology." - Mike Johnson, PWInsider.com
