10 MORE Strange Things WWE Champions Did With The Belt
8. Mr Perfect Smashes It With A Hammer
Between 1988 and 1990, Mr Perfect did everything but win the WWE Championship.
Having executed his vast array of perfect sporting skills in some very fondly remembered vignettes, Perfect went on an unbeaten streak befitting of his name and would later claim the Intercontinental Championship while becoming the crown jewel of The Heenan Family.
Before that though, he famously took out his rage on a belt he wasn't quite able to snare.
