Untitled Title Belt
Unlike the traditional championship wrestling belt it was fashioned after, this implement functions as a combination microphone, distortion-pedal, & noise generator.
Unlike the traditional championship wrestling belt it was fashioned after, this implement functions as a combination microphone, distortion-pedal, & noise generator. The Untitled Title Belt has been used in radio, performance-art, and yes, even in the theatrical stage of actual Pro-Wrestling. Briefly, while I was a performer with the Oaktown Wrestling Alliance in 2003, I was able to bring his belt into the squared circle. I never got to turn it on, but it was part of his attire. For me, this completely legitimatized the device as true Wrestling regalia. I appeared as a heel manager during the inaugural matches of the Oaktown Wrestling Association. The Untitled Title Belt was around my waist the entire night. It wasn’t plugged in. It didn’t need to be. Even silent, it still added to the overall absurdity of the festivities at hand. You see, managers don’t normally wear title belts.
Since 1999, KXLU in Los Angeles has been one of GX’s best venues. Damion Romero’s weekly programme, Psychotechnics, has been a highly acclaimed showcase for contemporary noisicians since 1990. Being able to occasionally co-host Damion’s programme has given GX Jupitter-Larsen ample opportunities to translate his different performance-art pieces into effective live radio. A prime example of this was in May of 1999. Earlier that same year GX had designed a noise belt. Now, just by looking at this thing, you would never know it was a sound-generating device. It looks pretty much like most championship belts of Pro-Wrestling, but inside the belt is something else; a lot of wiring. Damion plugged GX’s Untitled Title Belt directly into the station’s control broad. The belt was left to feedback on itself and over the airwaves for the better part of an hour. No effects or processing were utilized. They were beautiful tones; metallic in nature.

GX appeared as a heel manager during the inaugural matches of the Oaktown Wrestling Association. Wearing a Gorgeous George wig, GX then did what any wrestling manager would have done after escorting the top contender, War Chief, to the ring for his Hardcore match with Ice Box. He yelled out words of encouragement to his man, slapped his hands on the mat, tried to distract the referee whenever possible and clashed with the face manager around the ring. He did whatever it took to make the screaming crowd scream just that little bit more.
The two gigantic super-heavy-weights in the ring gave a lofty performance! It was a first-rate match by anyone’s account. However, despite GX’s best effort, The War Chief lost to Ice Box. It was a classic metal folding chair to the head, followed by a big belly flop off the top rope. GX helped the hurt War Chief back to the dressing room, only to bring him back out a few matches later for a 15-Man Battle Royal for the OWA Championship Belt.
Again, GX gave his all for his man. The War Chief however was ganged up on by three other men and was thrown out of the ring; giving way for Ice Box to ultimately take the title. The Untitled Title Belt was around GX’s waist the entire night. It wasn’t plugged in. It didn’t need to be. Even silent, it still added to the overall absurdity of the festivities at hand.
