Team Angle Pusher 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2005 What looks the best on the wrestler who has the belt. With someone like Triple H or RVD it looks good on the shoulder. With Kurt Angle or Shelton Benjamin I prefer the waist. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

With Kurt Angle or Shelton Benjamin I prefer the waist. I dunno... The belts looked good around the waist of RVD when he was in ECW. As for Triple H, belts look best when they're not anywhere near him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shooting Star 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2005 The belt looks great on Triple H's waist to me...or maybe I'm just used to seeing it there. You're right about RVD though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Matt Young 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2005 It depends on the guy. For someone like HHH, around the waist. Bret Hart, over the shoulder. You did, however, forget The Rock's "dragging the belt along the ground" and guys like Kane just hold it in their hands... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Team Angle Pusher 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2005 Hate the dragging. I like how MNM have it though Good shoulder guy: Taker looks crap when he has a belt around his waist like in 2002. Is it just me or did Taker also wear the belt around his neck once? Waist guy: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Young 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2005 Hate the dragging. I like how MNM have it though As do I... And I forgot about MNM. I like their style, but it wouldn't work for most. Oh yeah, no one mentioned Bubba Ray's old "around the neck" style. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haws bah gawd 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2005 Austin's "Carry the belt in one hand and throw it into the ring" routine was always fun to watch. I also liked when Undertaker would wear titles around his neck when he was Bikertaker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Team Angle Pusher 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2005 Awesome I like wrestlers wearing more then one title. They should let Kane win the World Title. Drag the Tag Titles and put World Title on shoulder. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JST 0 Report post Posted December 28, 2005 I'm with Bret Hart on this one. Shoulder for promos, waist for matches. And he frowns on people like Kevin Nash, who drag the belt around. A peculiar one I've seen is the belt strapped diagonally across your chest (like an ammo belt), with the larger plate on the guy's back, facing behind him.

TheDevilAndGodAreRagingInsideMe 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2005 I think they made a new one to specifically fit Show. I seem to remember him trying to put it on the night he won it and it wouldn't fit, but the next night he wore it like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Drury37 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2005 I always preferred around the waist unless they were too fat. However Money Inc. was the best when Ted Dibiase would wear it around his waist and I.R.S. would wear it over his shoulder but it was closed. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hoff 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2005 I'm with Bret Hart on this one. Shoulder for promos, waist for matches. And he frowns on people like Kevin Nash, who drag the belt around. I'm sort of with this, but I'd refine it a little. Around the waist when dressed to compete; over the shoulder in street clothes. I, too, think around the waist over street clothes looks weird, but even if a guy is just coming out to talk, if he's in his gear, it looks good strapped on. However, there's certainly some exceptions, like Taker, Show, Cena, etc. I was never a fan of Rock just dragging it behind him, but I was fine with Austin doing so, because he's a crazy redneck. It fit the character. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2005 (edited) One of my favorite, most unique ways to wear the belt was when Big Show wore the Hardcore Title around his bicep. EDIT: Oh, and when in suits or such...how about how Ric Flair would carry the title? Neatly folded, holding it in his hands.

ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted December 29, 2005 Slightly off topic, but... I kinda wish they didn't change to the Attitude logo. That belt there looks a bit more professional, to me, than the one with the Attitude logo. ...except for the blue strap. I'd change that much. Oh, and I wish they'd sell a replica of it too.
