You won't see any more pics like that in the future. Right. Because they retired that title belt that he's wearing.

I also like managers holding the belt over their shoulder while their charge wrestled, much like Paul Bearer and Paul Heyman would do. And Chyna too!

One of my mark-out moments.... before it was overturned, that is.

I dunno.... Better than his "Brother's" first picture with the title:

Kinda like what Bobby Heenan did for Ric Flair during interviews during Ric's early WWF run? You know...as the REAL World Heavyweight Champion.

Oh yeah. I thought you meant from a match in his WWF time for some reason. I do remember that. Back on topic...if Kane had been WWF Champ for more than a day, and carried the belt like that...would that have been OK?

Further explaination please? WWF Champion Kane demands it!

Two reasons, IIRC: In character reason: Warrior was just so way out there, he felt his belts needed to match how he was. Hence the changes in the strap color for the WWF and IC titles. Real Reason: Warrior would often forget the belts when he was traveling, and they had to make new ones, so they decided it'd fit his gimmick to have colors for the belts. What a dumbass. Youd think that would be the first thing he'd remember to pack. Hey, this IS the Ultimate Warrior we're talking about here. The guy that RENAMED himself Warrior. The guy that did sprints to the ring, getting winded while doing it. The guy who wrote a comic book where he believed he was the second coming a Jesus. The guy in a special edition of that comic did bondage on Santa... ...need I say more?

Well, the Current "Rock" is actually I think the third man to have that name. Rocky Johnson I think was called "the Rock" a few times. Then there was "The Rock" Don Muraco. So...wouldn't be the first time. ...Hehehe...evil thought: Randy "The Rock" Orton.

No offense to DDP or the fans of his... But sometimes, he looked like a total retard just trying to be normal. But maybe that's just me.

It's dated...but still..."The FUCKING HELL!?" (add "Were they thinking" to finish it off)

OK....it doesn't really fit the thread...but I had to post this after posting that McMahon picture...

Here's one that you can debate on whether it was a good or bad treatment of a title...

Has Hogan ever used the name "Terry Bollea" in credits of movies he's been in? Cause I don't recall or don't wanna suffer the pain of the movie. No...but for one of those movies he made for TNT he went by "Terry 'Hulk' Hogan"...

I never did understand why The Rock never wore the title belt around his waist, and dragged it like he did. Austin, I could see. Rock I never could. And even though it was in character and made sense from a storyline standpoint...Hogan with the spraypainted WCW title and using it as an electric guitar during the nWo days comes to mind as well.

And if not at that date, when Goldberg defeated Hogan would have been a good ending point for the nWo as well.

Guys...something that you're all seemingly forgetting... Smackdown doesn't have a PPV this month. So, most likely, Bradshaw/Guerrero will only be the "Special Edition" Smackdown that either airs the Thursday before or the Thursday after the Raw PPV. At least, I'm HOPING that's the case.

How about another snake being digested?

Well, for Akio, they'd have to make up another name for him, since his real name is Jimmy Yang. Sometimes Josh Matthews would bust out the "Yoshihiro" name for Tajiri. Sakoda don't know about. And Funaki used Sho Funaki a bit when he came in...but I don't know why he dropped it. Reason for it: maybe they feel the single name for Japanese wrestlers is more menacing? *shrug*

I'm SO getting all these.. SO Getting them. [Joke]Though, when are they releasing "Best of the Big Show"?[/joke] ...no he shouldn't. Wasn't he responsible for the "History of Hillbilly Jim" video package...where he wrestled his dog on a mattress?

And everyone ignores the OBVIOUS Undertaker/Matt Morgan feud in the making. No trades or rehiring needed!

Bah. That'd only work if Batista either went back to Deacon Batista, trying to exorcise the demonic Undertaker...or Leviathan from OVW, which I heard was a dark-side type character.

Doesn't always have to be FAT guys... There's also TALL guys. FEEL The Undertaker vs. Matt Morgan feud when Morgan returns!
