Well how intimidating is a title belt for a weapon? Chairs are okay but not if they are overused mostly because we can't have headshots anymore which I am totally okay with, because I don't want wrestlers dying or murdering or going nuts.
Overall I feel like the best answer is to slowly eliminate weapons and use other in ring tactics to get heat and cause injury. You have all the classics, the turnbuckle can be exposed, the ring post for legs, arms, backs, heads, submissions like the figure four, you have the ring apron, ringside table, the ropes, you could use all of these things to get heat, probably more heat than a chair would.
I used to be a big fan of hardcore wrestling when I was a kid, I traded tapes, ECW, all the hardcore feds from Japan, I loved it at the time. But I was no fool, I was disapointed by BJPW King of the Deathmatch with Terry Funk and Cactus Jack, it sucked! It was so sloppy, and I realized that an over abundance of senseless violence is not going to get you very far, and the match will more or less be unmemorable and suck.
The only reason that match (KOTDM) is memorable is because WWE promoted it.
So yes, I do take the subject to heart because I see that WWE can achieve the same level of intensity or violence without a drop of blood, see the Randy Orton/John Cena Iron Man match where Randy Orton attempted to murder John Cena with pyro.
