So who was the first champion to....

[WC_Wolfpak]

...drape the title belt over the shoulder? You know, just just let it hang instead of wearing it over the waist? was it HBK? I know Yokozuna couldn't because he was to fat, but was there a wrestler before HBK that did it on a regular basis? I think Hitman may have, but i'm pretty sure he started doing this after he lost the strap to HBK at Wrestlemania, then regained it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Never liked that. Belts should be worn, not dragging on the ground or carried over the shoulder. Guess it's the old school fan in me.

Mike Awesome was the worst, he used to just sling that belt around and throw it in the ring like a pair of Francine's old crusty panties he found under the couch... always had me like "Does Paul Heyman have dem belts insured"

I've always thought the champ should wear the belt around his waist unless he cant fit it like Andre or Big Show. Only when Autin carried the strap do i feel that it was justified in being carried or dragged like he used to do.

Hogan was the first to use it to play like a guitar

 

[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]

Boxers have worn belts on their shoulders forever

and Austin and Mike Awesome did it because not even giving an EFF about the belt youv'e been beating the crap out of people for just adds to your measure of badassery
