Plate material: Brass
What’s the difference?

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 in the hand. Cast zinc alloy plates are made in a mould cut for your design, then finished by hand. Casting allows deeper 3D relief than engraving, and zinc alloy takes plating well. The extra cost covers the mould and the hand-finishing. Brass or cast zinc alloy plates

Finish: 24K gold plated
What’s the difference?

24K gold electroplating puts a thin layer of real gold on the surface of the plates. The belt is not solid gold. Like any plating, the gold layer can wear if it is rubbed against something abrasive. The standard finish has no gold layer. Gold electroplating explained

Plate thickness: 4 mm
What’s the difference?

This is how thick the metal plates are. 2 mm is included. Each extra millimetre, up to 5 mm, adds the same amount, shown on each choice. Thicker plates allow deeper relief in the design, so details stand out more, and they weigh more. Plate thickness explained

About this design

The WWE Cruiserweight Championship was the SmackDown title for lighter wrestlers from 2002 until 2007. This listing is a made-to-order MS Belts replica of its gold WWE-logo belt, shown with a Rey Mysterio name plate. The page opens on the build closest to the real belt, and every choice shows its price.

About the WWE Cruiserweight Championship

WWE treats the title as a continuation of the WCW Cruiserweight Championship, created on March 20, 1996. After WWF bought WCW in March 2001 it became the WWF Cruiserweight Championship, and from the March 2002 brand extension it was exclusive to SmackDown. It was renamed the WWE Cruiserweight Championship that May.

Wikipedia says the 2002–2007 belt has four side plates with WWE logos and no earth in the centre, unlike the WCW design. Rey Mysterio holds the record with eight reigns, three of them in WWE, and Gregory Helms had the longest reign at 385 days. Hornswoggle was the last champion and the title was retired in 2007.

Design details

  • Centre plate: a black panel with the WWE logo at the top, "World Wrestling Entertainment" above red "Cruiserweight" lettering, a black "Champion" banner and a serrated sunburst edge at the foot.
  • A plain name plate bar sits under the banner, engraved "Rey Mysterio" in our photos.
  • Side plates: four, two with the WWE logo and two with a chevron pattern, each with a red scroll panel at the base.
  • Strap: black leather with small WWE logos stamped along its lower edge.

The real belt and commercial replicas

Wikipedia describes the 2002–2007 design but gives no maker or material list, so we do not state one. We found no shop replica of this title, so we quote no commercial weight or thickness. Our closest build is brass, 24K gold plated, 4 mm, which is what this page shows first.

How we make it

  • Plates: brass cut and engraved to the design as standard, or zinc alloy cast in a mould made for the design (+$100) for deeper 3D relief. Both are finished by hand.
  • Finish: Standard, or 24K gold electroplating (+$20), a thin layer of real gold on the surface of the plates. The belt is not solid gold.
  • Thickness: 2 mm is included, up to 5 mm at +$50 per extra millimetre.
  • Strap: cowhide leather, about 50–51 in (127–130 cm) long, with a snap closure. Other sizes and strap colours can be quoted by email.
  • Made to order: see the delivery estimate on this page.
  • Free worldwide courier shipping with tracking (UPS, FedEx or DHL), with import duties prepaid by us (DDP).
  • Lifetime warranty on plating, hardware and stitching.

Questions

Questions about this belt

Is this the same size as the belt on TV?

No. Ours is a made-to-order replica on a 50–51 in strap, so size and weight differ. Thicker plates bring it closer in weight.

Does the name plate have to say Rey Mysterio?

No. It does in our photos because he holds the record for reigns. Send us the name you want, or ask for a blank bar, and we will quote it by email at support@msbelts.com.

Which build looks most like the real Cruiserweight belt?

Brass, 24K gold plated, 4 mm. The plates are fairly flat with fine line detail and enamel panels, which suits brass cut to the design. Choose cast zinc if you want more relief.

The three choices, in short

Three choices about the plates decide how the belt looks, how it feels in the hand and what it costs.

  • Plate material

    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 plates
  • Finish

    24K 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 explained
  • Plate thickness

    Thickness 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.

Made to order

How this belt is made

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.

Questions

Questions before you order

Short answers about this belt, delivery and returns.

All questions and answers

How long does a belt take?

Under normal conditions most belts are made in 5–6 working days, then delivered by courier in up to 5 working days, anywhere in the world. For a custom design, the clock starts when you approve the design. These are estimates, not guarantees.

Is shipping free?

Yes. Every order ships free worldwide by courier (UPS, FedEx or DHL) with tracking.

We prepay import duties (DDP), so there are no customs charges to pay on delivery.

What are the plates made of?

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.

Is 24K gold electroplating real gold?

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.

Will the belt fit?

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.

Can I put my own names or logo on a belt?

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.
