Also, the wrestlers are always thrown into the guardrails and ringposts but with a chair it has to be swung by the other wrestler and I guess that makes it qualify as more of a weapon than the post, steps, or guardrails. BUt then again, some wrestlers pick up the ringsteps and swing them at their opponent, I think at that point the teps should be considered as weapons. So that's the best explanation I can think of. ::waits for KayfabeMan to post a better one::

I think it's when the objects are an extension of the hand/arm. Swinging a chair is different from thrown into steps because the chair is an illegal extesnion, just like if you put your football boot on your hand, and punched the ball, it would still qualify as a hand-ball.
