Chuck McGill: Wrestling belts will be a hit at Marshall

A group of Charleston supporters has supplied pro wrestling-style belts for the Marshall football team’s offense, defense, special teams and weight room standouts.

Marshall football players will be stylin’ and profilin’ next season.

A group of Thundering Herd supporters from Charleston have been working behind the scenes for over a year to fund and provide four authentic, custom-made, nickel- and gold-plated wrestling championship belts to the school’s football program. This puts Marshall in a class by itself, said championship belt designer Rico Mann.

“This is absolutely the first full set we’ve done for a college,” said Mann, who works with Reggie Parks and Dave Millican to provide belts for the WWE, UFC and NFL teams like the Bears, 49ers, Cardinals, Chargers and Titans.
