Mighty John Quinn took Joint Promotion's original World Heavyweight title belt with him when Orig lured him over to the Independents. Tony St.Clair then followed suite and took his British Heavyweight Title with him. A year or so later Wayne Bridges departed for the Independents and took the second version of Joint's World Heavyweight title with him.
Now from memory 🙂 i believe at the end of the first season of Reslo Quinn lost the original Joint title to St.Clair, who kept both the British & World Heavyweight titles. The second season of Reslo saw Quinn defeated by St.Clair again via a stoppage (head cut) in the return contest. Both of these contests are virtually the only two bouts which have never surfaced to buy, you could say Reslo Platinum. Weeks later Bridges enters the ring at the end of a St.Clair bout with his second version of the World title and states "he" has the legit version not St.Clair. I think Orig declares one version to be the WWA and the other the WWF (Or similar).So at least at this time The Independents had both versions of Joint's world title along with the British heavyweight title. Quite the coup!
Thanks Hack Wayne Bridges took the World Heavyweight Championship with him not sure which one Tony brought over.
Certainly not Mountevans belts as he was not part of Joint Promotions. Independent promoters had even less interest in belts than Joint Promotions. I would have thought the only belts likely to be seen in Orig's rings were ones taken over by wrestlers such as Tony St Clair and Wayne Bridges,
