10 ordinary objects made dangerous by WWE Superstars

When this guy wants to knock back a few, he means more than beer

Over the years, foreign objects have become as integral a part of pro wrestling as rest holds. Sometimes they’re weapons like kendo sticks or they’re everyday items like beer. Signature objects help wrestlers stand out in the crowd. It becomes something special that fans associate with those wrestlers.

Objects and props have been an integral part of WWE’s presentation since the company’s inception. Objects and weapons bring much-needed variety to pro wrestling and they were never more popular than during wrestling’s most popular period, the Attitude Era.

Paul Heyman has been involved in wrestling for a long time. Before he became famous as the mad genius behind the success of ECW in the mid 90’s, Heyman plied his trade in WCW way back in 1988 as Paul E. Dangerously.

Armed with his brash New York attitude, Heyman managed wrestlers like Arn Anderson and Rick Rude. Brandishing his trusted mobile phone, Heyman prowled ringside doing whatever he could to help his clients get the win. This included shots from the aforementioned mobile phone.

Younger fans who may not understand how a shot from a mobile phone can be devastating, need to look at the clunky mobile phones of the late 80’s. It was close to the size of a brick, and Heyman wasn’t afraid to use it.
