Offered is an exact model reproduction of the World Wrestling Federation Championship that was presented to Hulk Hogan that has been signed and inscribed by the former WWF Champion. Hogan, born Terry Bollea, is the most recognized wrestling star worldwide and the most popular wrestler of the 1980s. He was a six-time WWF World Heavyweight Champion/WWF Champion, with his last reign being as the undisputed WWF/WWE champion. His first WWF Championship reign is the third-longest ever (and the longest of the 1980s). Hogan was the first wrestler to win consecutive Royal Rumbles, in 1990 and 1991, and was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2005.

The former champion has signed his name in silver marker on the right “strap” of the ceremonial belt, and inscribed “HOF 05” next to his name before the buckle. The black 51½-inch long leather belt weighs approximately 20 pounds and has a large gold plate in the center, with “Heavyweight Wrestling Champion” engraved in raised gold letters on a black background. The original “WWF” logo is engraved in gold at the top of the gold plate, with a world map in blue cloisonné at the center. There are four gold panels (two on each side of the center plate) with a raised, engraved “WWF” logo over the color flags of Canada, Japan, United States, Mexico, Great Britain, Australia, U.S.S.R. and Italy. The belt is stored in a black felt bag with a yellow silkscreened “WWF” logo on the front. This item comes authenticated by Prova and JSA.
