If you're wondering why, specifically, they use a chair, those folding chairs were about the only weapon to hand back in the days before garbage wrestling, and toys under the ring etc. An arena set up was a ring, a timekeeper table, a couple of ringside folding chairs for officials, and then a whole bunch of folding chairs for spectators.

Long before the likes of Randy Savage and Terry Funk started popularising the use of the table as a weapon, it was only really chairs and the ringbell to hand.
