Belt Auction

Do WWE Legends get to keep their Championship Belts after they retire?

Basically this is my question. I have seen past interviews of Legend Wrestlers like Bret Hart and Iron Sheik get interviewed in their house. And in the background are belts of theirs from the past. Do they keep these Championship belts like trophies when they retire? Whats with the belt display ? So can you answer the question ?

1. A while back I seen an interview with Chris Jericho. On the wall of his home were the Undisputed Titles. Pretty awesome. The interview was on the old Shawn Michaels or Ric Flair DVD's
2. Yes they can! Especially if it's a very prestigious belt they have won! I remember seeing a older episode of Hogan knows best, and most of his titles were in this one room he went into. I'm assuming it's replica belts made to look real. You can usually buy them yourself now.
3. I dont think they keep the belt. They might be having replicas at their home but the belt keeps moving from champion to champion. One of the reasons why the tag titles were unified is that the WWE superstars had to spend more time in getting the belts through customs, immigration, etc when they travelled overseas - that problem doesn't apply to WHC and WWE belts since they are for different brands and are the main belts, so can't be removed; but 2 of the tag team belts could be removed without any impact. So the current champions always hold their belts. With the current rate of title-switching happening in the WWE, its impossible that they would be bringing new belts every time.
4. A Replica Maybe. . . The Rock Flair Austin . . etc# all have their own version!!
5. Why would they want to keep them. They weren't really won. The writers had them winning. It would be like Stallone being proud of winning the championship against Apollo Creed.
