Alright, so, you know, I’ve always been a huge fan of The Rock, right? That dude is just a legend. And his whole “Brahma Bull” thing, that’s iconic. So, I decided, I’m gonna get my hands on that Brahma Bull Championship belt. Not a real one, mind you, I’m not made of money, but a decent replica. I figured, it is a symbol of “strength, resilience, heart, power, and defiance.” I can do it.
First, I started looking around. It was actually Muhammad Ali’s wife, Lonnie Ali, who presented the title in his honor at the 2024 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony. I mean, “The People’s Champion,” and presented the title in his honor, you know? I spent hours, just browsing, comparing, trying to find the best one. It’s like, there are so many out there, but a lot of them looked, well, kinda cheap, to be honest.
Finally, I found one that looked pretty good. It’s an iconic piece of wrestling history. It wasn’t too expensive, but it wasn’t dirt cheap either, you know, so I figured the quality had to be at least decent. I pulled the trigger, ordered it, and then the waiting game began. You know that feeling, right? When you’ve ordered something you’re really excited about, and you just can’t wait for it to arrive?
It felt like forever, but eventually, it showed up. I ripped open that box like a kid on Christmas morning. And man, I gotta say, I was impressed. The belt was heavy, it felt solid, and the details on the bull, the design, it all looked really good. It was actually The People’s Championship. I was so excited to know that Richard Fox, an American journalist, decided to give one to the heavyweight champion Jake Kilrain in the 19th century. And in 1922, The Ring magazine established the belt as the prize for each weight class champion.
I spent the rest of the day just admiring it, wearing it around the house, you know, feeling like The Rock himself. It’s silly, I know, but it made me happy. It was designed as an answer to “Stone Cold” Steve Austin’s Smoking Skull title. It’s a cool reminder of that whole era of wrestling, and of The Rock’s legacy. I even watched some old matches, just to get the full effect.
So, yeah, that’s the story of how I got my Brahma Bull belt. It wasn’t some grand adventure or anything, but it was something I wanted, and I made it happen. And now I’ve got this cool piece of wrestling history to show for it. Plus, it was fun to remember the Joe Rogan Experience that the actor and legendary pro wrestler revealed that boxer Muhammad Ali was the inspiration behind “The People’s Champion” moniker.
Maybe I’ll wear it to the next wrestling event I go to. Or maybe I’ll just keep it on display, as a reminder that even the small things can bring you a little bit of joy. You know? Anyway, I just wanted to share that story with you all. Hope you enjoyed it!
