8 Stupidest Banned Words In The WWE

2. Belt

This one is particularly stupid when you consider the way that it is mentioned within the guidelines. The guidelines state that the WWE doesn€™t have €œbelts or straps€, but instead has €œChampionships€ and €œTitles€. However, the next line then goes on to say that €œthe belt represents something€. What belt is this? I thought WWE didn€™t have belts. You just said this two sentences ago. Make your mind up, please! Okay, I€™m perhaps being a bit pedantic here, but given the level of nit-picking going on in the guidelines themselves, I think I€™m allowed to be. You can sort of see the point they€™re getting at in the guidelines, though. Using the word €œChampionship€ or €œTitle€ does possibly sound a bit more impressive than using the word €œbelt€. However given that that there many combat sports around the world in which the competitors compete for belts then surely talking about someone winning a belt is just as meaningful as talking about someone winning a championship/title? It€™s disrespectful to competitors within these other sports who hold their respective belts in such high esteem to suggest that the word €œbelt€ isn€™t a grand enough term to use. Banning the word also shows how little regard the WWE has for its own fans that they assume that we€™ll not understand the significance of the belt unless the announcers specifically refer to it as a championship/title.
