But when we told you to drive down to see PWG you couldn't even do that?
 
they missed one in the 84-86 time period

hogan had two different belts that were very similar:

"...the new WWF title was labelled the ‘Hogan 84’. It only lasted several months until it was replaced by the ‘Hogan 85’. The two belts are extremely similar, but to the keen eye of belt fans, the differences are many. For example, the strap on the 84 is laced around the edges, whereas the 85 is tooled. The 84 has raised banners with the words ‘WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT WRESTLING CHAMPION’ engraved into them and painted red, the 85 on the other hand has engraved banners painted in black with the words ‘WORLD HEAVYWEIGHT WRESTLING CHAMPION’ raised on them left silver. The 84 has no other paint on the main plate or side plates whereas the 85 has gold paint on the inner sections of the side plates and black paint on the main plate surrounding the WWF letters and the nameplate at the bottom."
