VIP Slick Posted July 23, 2014 Report Posted July 23, 2014 I watched the infamous February 1988 episode of the Main Event last night and noticed something rather odd. During the prematch backstage interview with Mean Gene, Hogan is still wearing the old belt (the one he wore at WrestleMania III etc). Then, two seconds later, Hogan magically walks down the aisle wearing the Winged Eagle belt! So this obviously proves the backstage interview was pretaped. VInce and Jesse make no mention of the new belt. Was this the actual on screen debut of the Winged Eagle? If so, you would think the announcers would have at least mentioned it. Very strange to me.
flyonthewall2983 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Posted August 18, 2014 What's even more strange is the comment Monsoon made during the WrestleMania match that "win, lose or draw it's the final time we'll see that particular belt" but Hogan continued to wear it until the following February.
Smack2k Posted August 19, 2014 Report Posted August 19, 2014 Unless they mean the BIG belt that Andre was gonna get that they had on there!!! Also, I "think" he had a different belt from March 87 to Feb 88
flyonthewall2983 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Posted August 20, 2014 Pretty sure he wore it at the first Survivor Series and in his SNME match with Sika from a bit earlier than that.
