There are two different images on this page. I don't think that's allowed.

Um. Axe the stupid wrestling pic that isn't really an example and was just added by some dude recently.

Actually, the whole wrestling section needs to be trimmed. Only a couple examples actually mention people wearing multiple belts at once, and instead are simply saying "this person held multiple titles at the same time."

I axed most of the examples and opened a discussion for the rest.

Axed. Doesn't fit the trope.

It poorly illustrates the trope for sure, but does it not fit it?

I'm genuinely asking. I left all the pro wrestling examples where someone wore multiple belts at the same time, but I opened a discussion about it because I feel like that's still not really this trope. It seems to follow the letter of it, but not the spirit.

Nope. He's displaying them in a promotional, posed picture, not wearing them all at once as part of his costume. The trope is wearing multiple belts regularly as part of a normal outfit.

@5 nails the problem with the wrestler pic. I vote yank.

Then would the third remaining wrestling picture not be an example as well? First two obviously won't count:

  • Similar to the Ultimo Dragon picture, Keiji Mutoh has a publicity picture of him wearing several belts as a suit of armor, which can be found here.

It's a posed promo picture, but he's actually wearing all of them at once to form a costume. I'd say it's iffy, but in light of the misuse that the other wrestling entries showed, I'd say ..."ehhh, toss-up".

[up][up] Extremely borderline...it seems like just as much of a posed promo as the other, so I'd tap it out.

Borderline but slightly on the wrong side of the border. Wrestling title belts isn't really what the page is describing.

Mmmm, yeah. It would be like saying this is an example of Conspicuous Consumption. Ok, I vote "bad example".

Yeah, seems like it's a semi-regular thing for the guy... I'll leave it for now.

As far as images go, Lulu (current) > all the wrestling images I've seen so far.

We aren't talking about changing the current page image.
