Worst gimmicked object ever

[Guest Prime Time Andrew Doyle]

I was watching a old WCW tape and I saw the funniest Gimmicked Object ever. Hacksaw Jim Duggan whacked someone with a 2X4. The 2X4 than bent, Thats right, a plank of wood bent.

 

Post some other bad gimmicked objects you have ever seen

[Guest papacita]

I'm not gonna bitch about the folders, but I gotta say the Public Enemy Vs High Voltage in like 97 or 98. Johnny Grunge set Kaos on the table and it broke before they could do anything.

[Guest dreamer420]

New Jack vs. Mustapha at Living Dangerously 99.  New Jack goes to whack Mustapha with his gimmicked guitar full of flower, when it breaks off and goes flying into the crowd.  At least the ECW faithful gave it back and he did hit him with it.

AWA Team Challange Series, turkey on a pole match, just awful.

[Guest DragonflyKid]

What about the raw chickens from WCW's dying days? Was there some background to that that I didn't know about?

 

The Hacksaw Jim Duggan's bending 2X4 were hilarious, even though it was clearly bent the announcers still sold it like it was dangerous.

 

It's also funny when crowbars and the like bend and obviously look flexible.

[Guest DrainYou42]

Don't forget about Molly using that paddle on Trish a few weeks ago either.

[Guest Some Guy]

The Balsa Wood Chairs that WCW used in 95-97.  Once Kevin Sullivan threw the chair on teh mat and it totally splintered.

[Guest dreamer420]

What about cinderblocks?  They tend to smash apart a little too easy for my belief.

Carson City Dollar Match - silver dollars in a sock on a pole

[Guest alfdogg]

At the Dudley's invitational table gauntlet at one of the 2000 PPV's, GMS was trying to skin the cat right above a table, and his feet broke it.

[Guest]

I was just looking through the Wrestlecrap archive and I remembered Bikini Beach Blast Off.  There was a brown log in the pool and TL Hopper went in and ate it.

 

Does Rikishi's ass count as a gimicked object?

[Guest DragonflyKid]

I always liked how the guys would sell being shocked by the tasers.

LOL, I would classify it as such.

In Goldberg's book he talks about when he got shocked by the taser he told them he wanted them to use a real one.  Not sure if he was telling the truth, but if so, that's pretty stupid.

 

 

Speaking of the 2x4 that bent, the NWO a few times used baseball bats that bent. I remember Hall or Nash looking at it and laughing when it bent.

[Guest WWF4Life]

Scott Steiner's 'lead' pipe that had an awful lot of give in it.

 

Any guitar shot...they look awful. Except Honky's brutal shot to Jake Roberts.

[Guest Singular]

In WCW Big Show grabbed the ring post and ripped it out of the ground.  That was pretty funny.

 

Survivor Series 93

Headshrinker Phatu, or Samu who cares.  Slips on a bannana peel left in the ring.  He even looks back to make sure it's their before falling on it.

This was the Doinks (Bushwhakers, MOM) against Bastian Bogger, Bam Bam, and Headshrinkers.  The one where the heel team comes out eating Bannana's and whole turkeys.

I watched that show just the other day.  Makes a Hardys match actually watchable.

That sounds like a ripoff of Bill Murray from Caddyshack.

the reason they had them was b/c terry funk was a chicken farmer or something like that.

 

the worse gimmicked object i can think of was the box of watermelons used during the bart gunn/bob holly hardcore match

[Guest What?!]

I remember UT breaking a paper mache looking baseball bat over the Big Show's head once.

[Guest Just call me Dan]

Shit, I was just going to say that! The bat looked legit, but it totally exploded into powder across Show's head and then he bladed.  I was kind of like holy shit when he swung it, but then when it hit, the initial shock wasn't enough to hold back laughter.

 

Sting's bat was pretty funny.  Watch Starrcade 97 when Hogan ( I believe ) takes it and throws it on the ground.  The damn thing bounces up higher than he threw it.

[Guest]

Vince Russo and the Statue Of Liberty sovuenear statue.

[Guest]

Yeah Sting's bat I'd go for, there are a couple of occasions it looked pretty bad.

[Guest muzanisa]

Didn't Booker T + Nash have a pole match with some stupid shit on it?

I remember a picture of Hall but I'm sure there was other crap there too.

[Guest dreamer420]

Vince Russo and the Statue Of Liberty sovuenear statue.

That thing looked like a legit ceramic or glass statue.  I remember that thing bouncing off Flair's head a couple of times and thinking that that shot looked like it hurt.

[Guest Redhawk]

I was going to mention the Undertaker-Big Show bat as one of the *best* gimmicked objects. I swear that bat looked as real as any bat.

 

One of the worst gimmicked objects would be the table from the Taz-Bigelow match on the ECW Deep Impact DVD (where they go through the mat). Bigelow landed on one end, and the table more separated than broke, showing the lines where it had been cut.

Eddie Guerrero's and Chyna's Roses were terrible.

At a Birtish PPV back in 2000, Chyna handed the roses to Eddie, and though you couldn't see it on camera, I saw from my spot two rows from the front, that the metal bar inside the roses had fallen on the floor, and Eddie nailed his opponent with actual roses.

stevie ray's slapjack and m2k's blue box

[Guest DrEvil]

Disco Inferno's duck, what was the thought process behind that.

 

On the subject, I'm amazed at how gullible the writers must sometimes think the fans are.  The breakaway/bending bats, cinder block, metal bars etc. are just so ridiculous and unneccesary, give me a steel chair anyday.
