10 Strange Things WWE Champions Did With The Belt
7. Changed The Colour Of It (Ultimate Warrior)
From the sublime to the wonderfully ridiculous, Ultimate Warrior was about as far away philosophically from CM Punk as any wrestler/WWE Champion/human being has ever been, but he too elected to put his own unique stamp on the organisation's richest prize after dethroning Hulk Hogan at WrestleMania VI.
Foreshadowing the top title's bright future with his yellow Intercontinental Championship, the Warrior had white, blue and purple variants of the industry's most treasured trinket, and whilst one would assume that would be to match his gear or feed into the story of a particular feud, the level logic was far closer to one of his early blog posts - they just looked nuts.
Many found wrestling in the first place because of Warrior's wildness - the belts were another picturesque part of the package. Like the brilliant lunatic himself, the colours enhanced the dayglo psychopathy of the Warrior gimmick - a level of intensity even beyond Hulk Hogan, if tacitly too far gone for audiences to invest in him as 'The Hulkster's permanent replacement.
