Welcome to the official website of Big Gold Belt Media, an entertainment outlet that focuses on sharing diverse perspectives in film, television, fandom, and pop culture. Since its founding, the mission has been to highlight underrepresented voices — including people of color, women, and LGBTQ+ filmmakers and creators — with the goal of building a more inclusive entertainment industry for all.
About Us
Big Gold Belt Media is a proud Black-owned business with a multicultural team of content creators, critics, writers, influencers, videographers, and photographers. We champion stories from Black, Latine, AAPI, LGBTQ+, and women creators across the industry. From celebrity interviews and red-carpet coverage to film reviews, podcasts, convention reporting, and festival coverage — we cover it all.
History
Established in May 2015, Began as the Big Gold Belt Wrestling Podcast, a Washington, D.C.-based show offering weekly reviews, analyses, and spirited debates covering professional wrestling. With five original co-hosts — Aaron, 2Chambz, Cilly Cellus, D-Wayne, and Dr. M — the show built a community rooted in fandom and passion. The name itself was inspired by the iconic WWE (formerly WCW) World Heavyweight Championship, a belt so admired that two members of the team purchased replicas during WrestleMania 30 week in 2014.
As the show grew, coverage expanded beyond WWE Raw and SmackDown into the independent wrestling circuit, bringing interviews with talents like AEW’s Keith Lee, Faye Jackson, TNA’s Jordynne Grace, and WWE NXT’s Donovan Dijak. The podcast laid the foundation for what was to come.
Evolution into Big Gold Belt Media
By January 2020, the Big Gold Belt Wrestling Podcast had grown beyond wrestling. This led to the launch of Big Gold Belt Media, a platform to house wrestling coverage alongside film reviews, TV recaps, podcasts, red-carpet interviews, and on-site coverage from film festivals, conventions, and major entertainment events. The expansion reflected a broader vision: to create a media brand that champions culture across all of entertainment.
The Culture Collective
On October 1, 2025, Big Gold Belt Media introduced The Culture Collective, a dedicated extension created to further amplify entertainment-driven and culture-forward coverage. While Big Gold Belt Media remains the core platform at BigGoldBelt.com, The Culture Collective focuses exclusively on film, TV, conventions, and pop-culture storytelling.
With a multicultural and ethnically diverse team of writers, critics, influencers, and hosts, The Culture Collective continues the mission to represent authentic perspectives and bring fans, creators, and industry insiders together. From blockbuster premieres to independent voices and from convention floors to celebrity interviews, it makes clear what Big Gold Belt Media has always stood for: storytelling that reflects the culture and community that drives it.
Today
Together, Big Gold Belt Media and The Culture Collective form a unified ecosystem that covers pro wrestling, entertainment, and pop culture while never losing sight of the values that started it all: inclusion, authenticity, and passion.
Our mission is simple: to celebrate diverse voices and deliver premium coverage that moves culture forward.
