#1 Steal Chairs

Chair shots to the head are almost completely banned now

Steel Chairs are probably the most commonly used weapons during wrestling matches. The black steel chairs are extremely solid and intimidating and can take even the biggest wrestlers off their feet.

The chairs in the WWE are just normal folding chairs with the main difference being that they’ve had the rivets broken. This allows the metal of the chair to collapse more often than not on impact. The attacker usually hits the chair against a few hard objects before the wrestler in a bid to shake up the frame a bit too and weaken it.

Initially, wrestlers used to take chair shots to the head which was extremely dangerous but was done in the best interest of the business. Now wrestlers are only allowed to take chair shots to their chest, sternum, and most commonly their back which is relatively safer.

No matter what you think or what anyone tells you, chair shots do hurt just like they should. The only difference is that the shots are delivered by trained professionals to other trained professionals.

Unforgiven 2002 saw The Undertaker take on Brock Lesnar after Lesnar took personal shots at The Deadman. The match saw The Undertaker deliver some brutal shots to Lesnar during the match in order to express his anger. After the shots to the head, one could see the completely bent and crumpled chair in Undertaker’s hands. Lesnar hasn’t been the only one to be at the receiving end of The Undertaker’s chair shots, as the Deadman has delivered it to dozens of his opponents over the years.
