Carrying belts to the ring

[dirtyoldman]

Just something I have noticed over the years from watching wrestling, the various ways people carry the title to the ring (wonder if people are told what way to carry it or are they given the choice). Always remember Money inc when they where champions, diabise would wear his while irs had his over the sholder. Seemed a little strange they didnt pick the same way.

So whats the best/coolest way to carry it? and how would do it?

[Cronant]

The Rock/Orton way annoys me a bit. Where they just sorta drag it along.

Cena usually has it around his waist now, which I like.

Although over the shoulder looks cool, I'm wearing it around my waist, like how a belt should be worn.

[Mozenrath]

It sort of depends. If they are in a suit, then around the waist looks a little odd unless they can fit it under the jacket, so they can open the jacket for the reveal. Otherwise, over the shoulder is good.

Over the shoulder is also better if you're quite tall, so that it's in the shot with you at all times.

I pick around the waist. First off, that's how it should be worn, that's why it's the strap (and also why people gesture around the waist and not over the shoulder when they want a shot at the champ). Also, it just looks cooler, especially if you're wearing it under a suit jacket.

Unless you're a big flippin' deal like that, then you get to have your valet carry it for you.

I prefer over the shoulder personally, looks much cooler to me. I think only certain wrestlers can pull off wearing it round their waist (Angle, HHH, Edge, Hogan to name a few).

[BigWill]

I think there are factors to consider. If you're wearing a suit then definitely on your shoulder. If you're coming out in wrestling gear, then it depends on if you're coming out for a match or if you're cutting a promo. Match around your waist, promo can be either or but usually on your shoulder. Also size should be taken into account. Some bigger guys look better with the title around their waist, while the smaller slimmer guys look better with it on their shoulder.

[Famous Rocking Chimes]

For big guys it looks better for them to have it over the shoulder. However the title should look good around the waist on most people.

Jericho looked Naked with the WHC around his waist.

Vince:Don't say that word!

[Bo Rida]

No around the neck option? Good as that answer is clearly wrong.

Anyway I went for shoulder.

[jrcz]

This!

Well, when's the last WWE called it a belt. According to Fart Pants (dunno why I said that) Lance Storm, Vince hates the term belt.

No love for the "stuffed down the front of pants" look?

Around the waist, unless it's a big guy like Yoko, Show, etc. - then over the shoulder works.

Although, having the manager/valet carry it is a great heel move.

Belt extender!

Whomever has the picture of Melina wearing "nothing" but the tag title belts:

That's your winner right there.

(Nothing against John Cena, but he's the reason most wear it over their shoulder. Cena's belt appears to be 5 sizes too big for him.)
