10 Strange Things WWE Champions Did With The Belt
9. Put Their Own Face On It (Hulk Hogan & The Fiend)
Hulk Hogan famously claimed that he missed out on the George Foreman grill deal by one phone call. Though that might reek of 'The Hulkster's usual bullsh*t, he had at least already mastered the necessary catchphrase as early 1986 - he loved a belt so much he put his face on it!
Da Belt Guy dug it up on Reddit, along with some interesting notes about it's short and strange shelf-life:
"From what we can tell, Hogan used this belt 3 times in a one week period, before it disappeared...One person said they vaguely recall Jack Tunney giving Hogan the belt on TV as a gift for his 2nd anniversary as champion.
The belt was made by then WWF belt maker Reggie Parks. The belt featured a picture of Hulk Hogan on it. This same design was later used in 1988 as the basis of the WCW 6 Man Tag Team titles. When asked about it, Reggie couldn't recall any of the circumstances surrounding the creation and reason for the belt, other than that it was replaced because Hulk didn't like how big the main plate was, and that it dug into him when wearing it. (Hulk also voiced the same complaint about the larger Undisputed belt decades later)."
