It has been well documented that for years "belt" has been on the announcers' banned word list. But there was those awkward moments once before and once after the match when Michael Cole was attempting to describe it and was a loss for words.
He probably didn't want to use the words "title" or "championship" to not confuse the viewers, since this would not be a belt that would be regularly defended.
So besides the aforementioned trophy, the winner also gets...pause...another award.
Did anyone else find that hilarious?

Yet the graphic that popped up called Braun the Greatest Royal Rumble Champion anyway, so he easily could've called it a title or championship.

The "LIST OF WORDS YOU CANT USE" shit is just another example of why Vince needs to go. Hes too fickle and is concerned with the dumbest window dressing bullshit. "ITS NOT A HOSPITAL, ITS A MEDICAL FACILITY". No, the f*** it isn't. It isn't any one thing. No one gives a shit. Go away you useless cancer and let HHH run things.

He also thought Sgt Slaughter was dead.

It would have been funny if in his stumbling to not say "belt", Cole said "strap" instead and Vince banished him to the 5th Dimension.

He apparently insists on medical facilities because shitheads started calling local hospitals to check on wrestlers, jamming up phone lines and putting actual lives in danger. |

I remember this being a thing when they did that angle with Bret breaking his leg when a car backed into his limo, and the ambulance they used for the angle had the local phone number for the hospital on the side. |

Hell back in the day it became a issue when Flair was in the plane crash when Wahoo showed up at the hospital people thought he was there to do something not knowing they was friends |

He showed up at the hospital to check on a guy he legit injured, the staff thought he was there to finish him off. Not sure it's true, but that's a story. |
