Couple of things I've been meaning to bring up about this.
1. For whatever reason, this completely pisses my grandma off. Guess mission accomplished in getting heat because it infuriates her.
2. I the only one who's more than once wondered if he's ever farted on it?

It pissed JBL off about a week or two ago. Yelling at Ziggler on commentary saying it was disrespectful. He didn't bring it up this week I don't think.

It's unique. Austin dragged the belt, Ziggler uses it to accentuate his ass.

I do think its an awesome quirk of his. Not sure if he does it to be disrespectful, or it just looks cool with the Rude hip swivel on the ramp.
Also makes me wish Nigel McGuinness made it to WWE and won some gold. That was his trademark way of wearing the ROH belt.

I don't get how it's disrespectful. He has always done this entrance, and he pulls the belt forwards after he does his ass shake. If anything, he keeps the front of the belt forwards at all times.

It reminds me of a really old school weight lifting belt.
And a really random thought, I wonder if any of these guys take a dump while holding the strap...just because 'they can'. Like they're THAT much the champion that even the most vile tasks have to be elevated because they're the champion. I can picture Triple H doing that.

It doesn't bother me that much. Most of his mannerisms are okay it's just when he gets on the mic..

Hell, even if it was just the US title if I had it I'd probably never put the thing down. |

Considering he is an butt-backwards Rick Rude knockoff in a lot of ways... it works for him

I wonder if Del Rio ever pissed on it because he wore it frontwards. If Del Rio pissed on it and Ziggler farted on it, just think how much that belt would snag you on EBAY. |

My fiancée thought it was disrespectful as well. I just like for the champions to wear the belt around their waist. Unless they can't like big show. I always hated how Austin and Rock carried the titles. Austin damn near drug the belt like a crack whore. Rock carried it like he was about to chuck it at someone's head.

It makes sense that an old school purist like JBL would hate on it, but it makes sense that a cocky jackass like Ziggler would do it.
Hey, it makes him stand out from the crowd. I say keep it up.

The best non traditional way of wearing the title was when The Undertaker used to wear the (hardcore?) title around his neck.

I love that people get pissed off at the "disrespect" of wearing a prop belt a certain way. Both that people are genuinely that passionate about wrestling and it's history and also that people can still be marks.

I think it's cool.
It's one of those imitable things that people can do too. Like with CM Punk's "clobberin time" entrance that people like to do.

I'm sure DDP used to wear the belt back to front and then swing it round as well. Could be a tribute to that
