The Texas Heavyweight Championship dates to the 1930s, and Fritz Von Erich's promotion in Dallas, renamed World Class Championship Wrestling (WCCW) in 1982, used it as a main title. This listing is a made-to-order replica by MS Belts of the red Texas map belt in the photos. The page opens on the closest build to the photos, and every choice shows its price.
The exact creation date of the title is not known, but it is among the oldest championships in professional wrestling. It was the NWA Texas Heavyweight Championship from 1948 to 1986, when WCCW left the NWA and became the World Class Wrestling Association. In August 1989 it became the USWA Texas Heavyweight Championship. The Dallas Sportatorium was the promotion's main venue.
Pepper Gomez holds the record for most reigns, 15, and David Von Erich was the youngest champion, at 20 years and 50 days. Kerry Von Erich also held it, and Kevin Von Erich was the last recognised champion, winning it on 23 November 1990 in the final World Class show.
We found no source for the maker, metals or weight of the belt the promotion used, and no commercial replica specification, so we could not match the photos to a particular version. Our closest build is Zinc alloy (cast), Standard, 4 mm, which is what this page shows first.
We could not confirm which version of the real belt the photos follow, so this page describes the design in the photos, which has a red Texas map on the centre plate.
Cast zinc alloy, Standard finish, 4 mm, which is where the page opens. The standard zinc finish is silver-grey, like the plate edges in the photos.

Three choices about the plates decide how the belt looks, how it feels in the hand and what it costs.
The plates are the metal parts on the front of the belt. Brass plates are the standard: cut and engraved to the design, then finished by hand. Brass is dense and hard, so the belt feels solid. Cast zinc alloy plates are made in a mould and finished by hand, for deeper 3D relief.
Brass plates are included. Cast zinc alloy plates add $100.
Brass or cast zinc alloy plates24K real-gold electroplating is a thin layer of real gold on the surface of the plates. The belt is not solid gold, and the standard finish has no gold layer.
24K real-gold electroplating adds $20.
Gold electroplating explainedThickness is how thick the metal plates are, in millimetres. 2 mm is included, and you can go up to 5 mm. Thicker plates allow deeper relief in the design and weigh more.
2 mm is included. Each extra millimetre adds $50, up to 5 mm.
Plate thickness explainedMade to order
Every belt goes through 7 or 8 phases in our workshop, depending on the build. For a cast belt, casting in a mould takes the place of cutting. Gold electroplating happens only when you choose it or when it is included.
Under normal conditions, most belts are finished in 5–6 working days. For a custom design, the clock starts when you approve the design.
Phase 1: Design and artwork
Phase 2: Cutting the plates
Phase 3: Engraving and detailing
Phase 4: Polishing
Phase 5: Gold electroplating When 24K gold electroplating is chosen or included
Phase 6: Colour filling
Phase 7: The leather strap
Phase 8: Assembly, final check and packing

Brass is the standard plate metal. On custom belts the SD build has brass plates cut and engraved to the design, the CNC build has brass plates CNC-machined for finer detail, and the HD build has zinc alloy plates cast in a mould made for the design and finished by hand, for the deepest 3D relief. On catalogue belts, cast zinc alloy is +$100. Plates are 2 mm thick as standard, and 3, 4 or 5 mm add $50 for each extra millimetre. The strap is cowhide leather.
Yes, it is a thin layer of real 24K gold on the surface of the plates. The belt is not solid gold, and like any plating it can wear if it is rubbed against something abrasive.
The strap is about 50 to 51 inches (127 to 130 cm) long with a snap closure and several snap positions. That is the length of the whole strap, not a waist size. Email us the wearer's measurement and we will confirm the fit before you order.
Yes. Name plate engraving can be added on belt pages that offer it. For a logo or a fully custom design, use the belt builder or email support@msbelts.com for a quote. Nothing is made until you approve the design.
