The Jack Brisco Red Belt Award is named after the legendary Jack Brisco, an NCAA champion and two-time All-American at Oklahoma State University and member of the George Tragos/Lou Thesz Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame.

It recognizes individuals who have made significant contributions to the industry in various roles, whether as wrestlers, trainers, commentators, or mentors.

The recipient will be presented with a red belt, which is synonymous with Jack Brisco, who was the only NWA champion to wear a belt with the red strap.
