Most Iconic Weapon / Wrestler Pairings
 

Here is a shortlist of the most synonomous weapon to wrestler IDs that I could think of. No doubt that I have forgotten some. The thread title says it all...which pairing do you think is the most iconic.

Triple H - Sledgehammer
Sting - Baseball Bat
Edge & Christian - Chairs
The Dudleys - Tables
Hardy Boyz - Ladders
Sheamus - Lead Pipe
Steve Blackman - Kendo Stick / Nunchucks
Jeff Jarrett - Guitar
Abyss - Janice
Tommy Dreamer - Cane
Mick Foley - Mr. Socko
D-Lo Brown - Chest Plate
Jake Roberts - Snakes
Al Snow - Head
Regal - Brass Knuckles
Ted Dibiase Sr. - The Million Dollar Belt
Crash Holly - The Scale
Honky Tonk Man - Guitar
Sandman - Cane
Hacksaw Jim Duggan - 2x4
Duke "The Dumpster" Droese - Trash Can


I almost want to add "Stone Cold Steve Austin" with "any motor vehicle" or "beer", but not sure that one would fly.

Jake the Snake, easily.

Mick Foley as Cactus Jack - Barbie (baseball bat with barbwire on it.

rick model martel and his arrogance spray

lex luger and his questionable forearm

Raven - Shopping Cart

http://storage.canoe.ca/v1/dynamic_r...600&quality=85

DAMN - THE SHOPPING CART WAS A BIG ONE I WAS FORGETTING!!!

I kept thinking of his Johnny Polo days and wanted to say "Cane" again, but no way! Raven owns the shopping cart / hobo look!

This thread does not have the poll.

I can't vote for just one.

I would say Stone Cold and Beer for me. But they are all pretty iconic too me. I can't imagine any one of them without their signature weapon.

Could Jake's snake really be described as a "weapon" though?

If you said Wrestler/Prop pairing, which would be more appropriate in Jake's case, that opens up a whole new slew of options. The Bulldogs with Matilda. JR with the cowboy hat. Koko with Frankie the bird. Undertaker with the long black coat and hat. All iconic aspects of the personas (to varying degrees, naturally).

As far as actual weapons go, I would associate Sabu with chairs more than I would Edge and Christian.

Randy Savage had the King's sceptor as his de facto foreign object for quite a while.

I do appreciate it when guys have certain weapons that they are synonymous with. It pays off; just look at the pop the sledgehammer gets every time Trips busts it out... even though he rarely uses it, it's his weapon, and when we see it we know he means business.

IRS: Briefcase
Nasty Boys w/ Jimmy Hart: Motorcycle helmet
Mountie w/ Jimmy Hart: Shock Stick

I left a note in it for the admin. I'll do the same here. A duplicate got created by accident when the system logged me out for a sec while I was making a poll, but decided not to use it.

COULD SOMEONE PLEASE MERGE THESE TWO THREADS!!!!

Or if anyone wants to comment on the topic, just ignore the other one until it goes away...

Whichever works best.

Thanks.

Big Bossman: Nightstick

Does this thread really need a "poll"?

What, because there's a poll it's an official cross-section of opinion? Why do people insist on even running polls in the first place? What's wrong with a good old fashioned throwing-shit-around-and-seeing-what-sticks discussion?

Remember in WCW when Jim Duggan's weapon of choice was a taped fist?

:lol:

He would win matches by punching his opponents with a taped fist and knocking them unconscious, despite him having punched them several times during the match without the tape and it having no more than the standard effect of a wrestling punch.

Cowboy bob orton and the cast

jimmy hart's megaphone with any of the wrestlers he managed

That was my first thought too and almost spliced the thread with "props and weapons". My thinking is he ultimately did use the snake as a weapon on more than one occassion in a way. Remember the Royal Rumble where he cleared the ring, or when it bit Macho Man's arm. That feels like weapon territory to me.

Barbie, hands down.

And yet they could never find a way to have Tarver knock someone out.







Mind blowing.:eek:

Mr. Fuji's walking stick of paaaaaaainahahaha

The greatest pairing of man and weapon ever seen in wrestling: Bobby Heenan and his brain.

Lex Luger and his shirt

Sid and the shit in his pants

Paul E. Dangerously and his mobile phone.

Bill Alfonso and his whistle, that is an annoying weapon

Sandman and the cane.

ortons foot lol

Mountie and the Shock Stick.

Stan Hansen - Cowbell
Hollywood Hogan - weightlifter's belt

bombastic bob and bodacious bart w/ jim cornette


THE NEW MIDNIGHT EXPRESS!!!!!!!

Duuuuuuudddddddeeee!!!!!!

Bruiser Brody and the Chain.
Undertaker and the Urn.
Yokozuna and his refusal to go to Jenny Craig :shifty:
Mr. Fuji and the Salt.
Great Muta and the Mist.
Skinner and his gator jaw.

Haha, nah, Austin and any motorised vehicle def deserves to be on the list. It's the first thing I thought of besides Helmsley's sledgie.

Big Show and his two honey baked hands (his hands)

Jim Cornette & tennis racquet

Austin and his arsenal of motor vehicle mayhem!!!

GIMME A HELL YEAH

I'm a fan of the steel chain dog collar style, or the small one that gets wrapped around the hand.Also the roll of tape that looks like something is taped in it,but it's really only a big wad of tape. Sabu's arabian spike is cool as well.

always a fan of Sandman with his Singapore Cane.

Honky Tonk and his guitar.

Completely forgot they brought the Beer Truck back. Shows how much trying to recapture the past doesn't work.

Stevie Ray and the Slapjack

Razor Ramon/ Scott Hall's toothpick.

Jerry Lawler's assortment of "King" themed t- shirts.

Whatever Vince shoves up his ass in order to make sure his strut is just right before he walks to the ring.

Damn. I was beat to this. Twice.

I was also beat to Mr. Fuji's salt.


I have a couple: Terri Runnels and her... distractionary tactics.
Also, Ric Flair and the Roll of Quarters/Silver Dollars.

You were also beat to Stevie Ray's slapjack, so don't even try it, boss.

Also, I think Debra was more known for 'distractionary tactics' than Terri.

Daniel Bryan and the Neck Tie of Future Endeavors!

Do Johnathan Coachman and Michael Cole's mouths count as weapons, cuz I've always thought such objects should be barred from ringside.

I wish "Wolfe" had kept this look. Looks like a crazy soccer hooligan from that movie Eurotrip... with an iron. He had a unique look and now very generic


Demolition- there masks
LOD- Shoulder pads
Texas Hangmen- Hangman noose
Adam Bomb- Mushroom cloud
Meng- Tongan Death Grip (greatest weapon ever)

Vince McMahon's grapefruits.

http://mimg.ugo.com/200808/28987/mr-mcmahon.jpg

Public Enemy- Table
New Jack- Staple Gun
Balls Mahoney- Chair
Scott Stiener- Steroids :shifty:

The Rock - The People's Eyebrow, The People's elbow pad, The People's expensive glasses, The People's expensive shirts, the People's microphone, The Brahma Bull belt, and the numerous things he was willing to tell others to turn sideways and stick it up their asses made from candy.

Bret Hart - Chair

Although this was really more of a pairing that destroyed a once iconic figure.

John Cena - Duct Tape

-Rick Martel and his bottle of Arrogance! Yes, he is a model!
-Coach D'Amore with the Hockey Stick with the Canadian Flag on it.
-Dean Douglas with the Board of Education
-Shane Douglas with the steel chain.
-Legion of Doom with Rocco.
-Nasty Boys with the Biker Helmets.
-Sherri (all evil chicks) with the loaded purse with a brick, Sherri with the spiked heel shoe,

First things I thought of were Triple H & The Sledgehammer, Sandman & The Cane, Undertaker & The Coffin, Owen & his cast, and Jeff Jarrett with the Guitar.

European Champion D'Lo Brown with his "chest protector" (which became a weapon because of the frog splash)

I think some people on here have lost sight of what a "weapon" entails....

Distractionary tactics? T-shirts? The People's Eyebrow? A mushroom cloud??

What the fuck, people?

Jerry Lawler - Fireball

"The Genius" Lanny Poffo - Scroll

"Hot Stuff" Eddie Gilbert - Fireball

Duke "The Dumpster" Drose - Trash Can

T.L. Hopper - Plunger

William Regal - Brass knucks/Power of the Punch

Henry O. Godwinn - Slop Bucket

The Miz - MITB Briefcase

"Cowboy" Bob "Ace" Orton Jr. OWNED with his cast.

Uh, if you think titties aren't used as weapons, we obviously haven't been watching the same thing all these years. Sure, they aren't bashed over someone's head (which would be a good thing), but the valet herself is used as a more psycological weapon. And some female managerial pairings are legendary because of it. Think about it.

I really really hate HHH and the sledgehammer. I don't think he's ever swung that thing and connected. Obviously it's hard to fake a real sledgehammer shot but the way he uses it is ridiculous.

just beat to Owen and the cast, didnt Orton Senior (along with many i'm sure use it)

didn't Owen Also use the slammy(s)?

Rikishi and his car :shifty:

This thread smells like living in the past! But the most iconic weapon is La Parka and his chairs

He did it, for The Rock...

Just beat by eleven months...

Hacksaw Jim Duggan and his floppy spongy 2X4 he once used on Nitro, well funny.

Sabu & table

CM Punk and a microphone.

Scott Steiner and a microphone.

Where is the Nintendo?

Totally agree with this. And correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't he once mention a long while back that the only time he ever actually hurt someone with a sledge was the time he used a fake one?
