10 WWE Wrestlers and their weapons of choice

#1 Hacksaw Jim Duggan and his Two By Four

Most of the weapons discussed in this article can be most readily identified with a heel character who would use them to cheat to win. The two by four board that Hacksaw Jim Duggan would carry to the ring is a prime example of how a face, too, could benefit from a distinctive prop, particularly in the 1980s and 1990s.

Duggan’s two by four was one of the most recognizable pieces of his act. On the national stage, Duggan was almost exclusively a face character and used the board to fend off heels when they outnumbered the good guys or to even the odds against an overwhelming foe with bad intentions like Andre the Giant.

The two by four was pretty uniquely connected to Duggan’s persona, though WWE did see a brief resurgence of the device when members of The Union briefly took them on in their Attitude Era war against Shane McMahon and company.
