7 WWE Belts That Never Made It To Regular TV
5. Giant-Sized WWF Championship
Andre the Giant was and forever will be remembered as being larger than life. (Kayfabe) standing at 7'4" and (kayfabe) weighing in excess of 500 lbs, the fearsome Frenchman made even the biggest opposition seem small by comparison.
As such, his pursuit of Hulk Hogan's WWF Championship in 1987 called for special measures to be taken by the company. Should Andre win the WWF Title at WrestleMania III, Hogan's belt would have been far too small for the big man's gigantic waist and a completely new championship was created for Andre as a result.
Given the renowned outcome of the record-setting match at WrestleMania, it seems odd that the WWF would create a new title with full knowledge that it would never be used. However, it's been argued that Vince needed to cover his back should Andre go into business for himself and legitimately pin Hogan. Meanwhile, the creation of the new gold did add further uncertainty to the main event's result.
The title only appeared a handful of times on WWF TV, most notably sat on the desk of Prime Time Wrestling and during its official introduction on Piper's Pit on Superstars. At over five feet long, the huge belt was considerably larger than the primary WWF Championship, and was certainly befitting of it's intended gigantic titleholder.
