5 Wrestling weapons in WWE which are real and 5 which are not

#4 Real: Barbed Wire

Mick Foley with his favorite weapon!

Barbed wire is a WWE weapon made popular by the Hardcore Legend, Mick Foley. As one can imagine, it is one of the most dangerous WWE weapons as it can cause a severe injury to the Superstars. Interestingly, on many occasions, the Barbed Wire used is actually real. Batista opted to use a genuine barbed wire during his Hell in a Cell match with Triple H in 2005.

At the same time, there have been instances where WWE Superstars have used a "fake" barbed wire (with rubber tips) and it's completely fine. Mick Foley mentioned in his biography about his match with Triple H at Royal Rumble 2000, which featured a barbed wire bat throughout it.

Interestingly, the WWE Hall of Famer revealed that Triple H used a real barbed wire on him, but a gimmicked barbed wire was used whenever the Game took the hit. So, it pretty much depends on the Superstar but hats off to those who have the guts to use a real one.

The garbage can was a very popular weapon during the Attitude Era, but is used on very few occasions these days. It is one of those weapons which is completely different from what we see in daily life. This is because the garbage can that WWE uses is either made of aluminium or tin, hence it does very little to no damage to the WWE Superstar which it is used on.

Interestingly, it can soften the blow for the wrestlers during moves like Shane McMahon's Coast-to-Coast, where he often places a garbage can in front of his opponent. It actually gives a cushioned impact to the WWE Superstar taking the move. Wow, that's pretty smart, right?
