In the image above, Kerry Von Erich hands the "ten pounds of gold" to referee Bronko Lubich before his NWA title defense against Terry Gordy in May 1984. Lubich knows the belt well; he was the referee who was first handed the new belt to Jack Brisco when it was introduced on July 20, 1973 in Houston, TX.
