There is no cooler way to carry a belt than by holding it by the strap and letting it dangle like Stone Cold and The Rock did.

*glass shatters*

>>18013095
I'm really surprised Umaga never won a World Title when shitters like Great Khali did. He had a good look for a monster heel, a cool manager, and could actually work pretty damn well.

>>18013095
Only certain wrestlers can pull this off though

>>18013103
He was an obese drug addict who ate pills like they were oxygen

>>18013139
Well that explains things

>>18013083 (OP)
>>18013100
Not everyone can pull this off, for most people it's best to stick to actually wearing the belt.

Worked for Naito as well

>>18013083 (OP)
This is what Mox thinks he looks like he's autistically sauntering to the ring.

what WWE needed, another fat overpushed Samoan on top

>>18013198
He looks like he's trying really hard not to trip and fall.

>>18014038
Can honestly say I've never heard anyone claim that about prime Naito.
Biggest dimes wrestler in Japan over the past 10 years.

>>18014080
Never watched a match of his, just going by the first 5-10 seconds of that clip.

>>18013198
Literally who?

>>18014038
He's had that careless drunken stagger like that since turning heel a decade ago, only in recent times has it been a pure shoot with his eternally fucked up knees and bad eyesight. He's get stem cell therapy on one of his knees though so that's good

>>18014598
>I don't know who this guy is, that means he's a nobody!!1!
This is a pro-wrestling board. People watch various promotions.
It's fine that you only watch WWE but stop being triggered whenever someone mentions non-WWE talents.

Shame, he was a solid talent. Sadly went downhill quickly after he entered his 40s but he was a big deal in New Japan - was the babyface none of the fans wanted, then ran off to Mexico, came back with an attitude and became dimes. Anti-establishment figure, almost like a Japanese Stone Cold. Probably became their biggest draw.
He abused the living shit out of that belt.

Arguably the last match of the NJPW Golden Years

>>18014711
>was a big deal in New Japan
Oh, he was a big deal in a gook indie fed.

>>18015129
Go be a faggot somewhere else.

>>18014080
>in Japan
>over the past 10 years

So, not dimes at all then? Got it.

The way Travis Scott carries it is the shittiest way. Jey Uso carried it that way once.

>>18015067
>Golden Years
>borderline irrelevant

That name is a humiliation ritual. Everyone knows New Japan was better (both in terms of drawing money and talent) in the 80s and 90s.

>>18014038
His knees are sawdusted

>>18015384
>>18015477
What part of, "go be a faggot somewhere else," did you not quite understand you retarded jeet.

>>18014781
One of if not the most iconic shot of cena.

>>18013083 (OP)
It always depends on the person. Like I can't imagine Austin wearing the belt normally. In my mind he's always letting it dangle. Same with Orton. I think he had the WHC around his waist in 2004, but ever since then he's carried every belt on the shoulder.

>>18013157
Edge looks great with gold

>>18019129
Now a belt on each shoulder

A belt is for holding up your pants.

What about Cody carrying the title like a purse?

>>18019293
That's an old school way of holding the belt. You have to be very classy to do this.

>>18019293
It works because he dresses the part. If he was decked out in merchandise instead it wouldn't look anywhere near as good.

>>18019332
>classy
>neck tattoo

>>18013083 (OP)
I'm a big fan of the way DX used to hold the titles (pic related - neatly folded at the first sideplate but over the shoulder). Chyna would carry both Trip's and Shawn's belts simultaneously like this. Wish there were more pics like it especially the Euro
>>18019293
This is kino

>>18013083 (OP)
Or you could , yknow actually wear it around your waist with some god damn pride and respect for the thing.

>>18019293
Nick Bockwinkel nigga

>>18020008
does anyone do that anymore? seems like everyhas a unique way of carrying the title. fuuny how most are devoid of charisma. seems to be a correlation

>>18013083 (OP)
title as a necklace is always based but it only works on monsters (jacob fatu, nia jax, kairi sane)

>>18020022
None of them do.
They have no God damned respect for these belts or this business and its history

I like what Fatu has been doing lately

>>18019376
His pocket watch negates it

>having your manservant carry it for you

>>18019293
Looks like a grandpa. Cody is reaching Seff levels of uncool. This is your FOTC btw lmao. Grim.

>>18013157
I remember it was either Austin or Taker that mentioned that the way a wrestler carries or wears a belt plays into the character work and psychology. On paper it’s a character thing but most shotters don’t care about that and wear it however they think is the coolest

>>18013198
Is he on Raw or on Smackdown?

>>18015129
Hulk Hogan said that New Japan's top belt was the real biggest prize in wrestling and That the WWF championship was a children's toy by comparison.

>>18013605
up to that point, the only top samoan guy was yoko and he wasnt even billed as samoan

>>18013083 (OP)
>There is no cooler way to carry a belt than by holding it by the strap and letting it dangle

>>18020672
what is he doing, licking the belt?

>>18020804
You tell me.

>>18020022
Gunther and Cody wear their belts properly, at least more than the rest

>>18020691
Look better the more servile your manservant is

>>18019293
That's the NWA way of holding belts, even midcard ones.

>>18020804
Neither, he's not even actually a pro-wrestler, he works in an ice cream shop

Is this the Maki Naito I’ve heard so much about?

>>18013083 (OP)
Faggiest of the faggest threads this board has ever produced.

Here have a "op you're a faggot" Bump.

>>18020836
Hogan also said that he won a shoot against Tatsumi Fujinami, and that he was at Wembley with Mr T and Michael Jackson with a Make-A-Wish kid that had bad body odor.

>>18024916
and folks where's the lie?

>>18024946
the lie is where Hogan’s vocal chords activate

D-VON!!! PUT THE BELT OVER MY HEAD
