>>14475086the clones were already in circulation and being randomly swapped out before steiner because jarrett also had one at that point, as well as the legit big gold. it was kind of random but honestly the original one wasn't presentable anymore (despite being much higher quality), so I can see why wcw execs had new ones made. I remember as a kid tuning into wcw randomly in late 99 and laughing my ass off at how the belt was falling apart while savage was holding it during an interview
