When Andre challenged Hogan for the title at WMIII, they had a special longer title belt made for him so that it could fit around his waist. They actually showed this belt on TV once before locking it away at the Titan Towers vault for the next 20 years.
Why did they never make Yokozuna a larger belt so that he could wear it around his waist? He was champion for quite a while.

Probably because of the robe he wore to the ring. Very few people make the robe+belt not look dumb (Flair for one).

it would have been so long that the straps would drag on the ground even when you hold it in the air

Question about Andre's belt.....since I've never seen it.
Win, lose or draw, Hogan was getting a new belt after Mania 3...so was Andre's belt the old style? or the new style?

Andre won the Eagle belt:  As regards Yokozuna, probably to emphasise his size and because they'd have to change the belt every few months, what with the whole weight gain thing he had going on. |

There's gotta be someone out there who would be able to wear that belt and have it be a good fit.

They could never make one to fit around Yoko. They would have to use more gold then every rapper on the planet

Plus he wore that bulky sumo belt as part of his attire. Would've been hard to wear the title around or over that.
