He had the big gold belt when he first arrived. I remember that on his initial Superstars appearances. Then obviously for legal reasons they got pushed into censoring it after the first couple of weeks of having it appear on WWF TV.
There was even a Funeral Parlor segment where Piper spit on that belt.
They had to stop using it, so they definitely started using a tag belt, which was dumb because the tag belts WWF had then were pretty distinctive. I was 14 at the time and definitely knew 100% it was a tag belt. They would censor it, but you could catch glimpses.
Love the WWE Network. So many different things I want to do. I have settled on watching every WM in order, and also watched the SCSA doc, def very worth watching if you haven't seen it, and the Legends Roundtable on Worst Characters which brought the lulz, and NXT Arrival.
Hadn't watched WM 1 or 2 in quite a while, jesus they are so much worse than 3. Of course I am very nostalgic for 3, because I became a fan between 2 and 3, and didn't get to watch 3 live, and remember hassling my folks every day to take me to the local video store to see if it was ready to rent yet. The day when that big black Coliseum Video box was on the shelf was a pinnacle of my childhood. Probably watched it 5 times before we returned it, then rented it another 10 times or so.
