8. André The Giant's Absolutely Massive Would-Be World Championship

A massive belt for an absolutely massive man, this almost threatened to teeter into the theatre of the absurd, a bit like when the Big Show smashed Sheamus with that gigantic steel chair. Sure, it looked painful, but also ridiculous.

It was big for big’s sake.

As was the obscenely-sized WWF Championship belt André The Giant was to wear, if the Immovable Object were to vanquish the Irresistible Force at WrestleMania III.

Hokey in a fantastically 1980s sort of way, this Prime Time segment did effectively drive home the notion that, yes, André was f*cking massive, and Hogan had a massive job on his hands to slam him in Detroit.

It worked; 93,173 went bananas when Hogan did precisely that, rendering this monstrosity a much sought-after collectible.
