IWGP V3 Heavyweight Championship Replica Belt

IWGP 3rd Version Heavyweight Championship Belt

This IWGP V3 replica rebuilds the third version of New Japan’s heavyweight title, plate for plate. Fans call it the IWGP 3rd Belt, the short-lived design Brock Lesnar and Kurt Angle carried. The wide centre plate holds the IWGP lettering, with the lion and globe motif behind it. Four side plates run down a genuine cowhide strap. We manufacture in-house and build every belt to order.

New Japan went back to the second-version belt while Lesnar carried this one abroad. Weeks after the lineages were unified, New Japan unveiled the fourth belt and the V3 went quiet for good.

Choose Your Build

Plate metal. Zinc SD die-casts detail cleanly at the friendliest price. Zinc CNC machines each plate, so edges stay crisper. Solid brass runs denser and feels heaviest on the waist.

Plate thickness. A 2mm to 4mm build stays lighter for wearing. A 6mm to 8mm build adds depth for display.

Engraving. CNC etching cuts deeper than stamping, so the IWGP lettering keeps sharp edges.

Plating. Standard gold covers evenly at lower cost. A 24k gold upgrade adds a richer, warmer tone. Nickel, silver, and antiques are also available.

Customization. Change the metal, thickness, plating, enamel colours, strap colour, or length. We also engrave nameplates and cut logo side plates.

Design For Fans and Collectors

Buyers chasing one specific era should browse the whole IWGP replica belt collection before deciding. Collectors hang it mid-wall, between the older designs and the current heavyweight title.
