Our group of wrestlin' readin' yahoos are back again, continuing to create your encyclopedia on the art of professional wrestling. Today's entry is at the core of wrestling: foreign objects. There is perhaps no object more evocative of professional wrestling than the ubiquitous and humble folding chair, which evolved into the most common prop in the show.
And beyond the chair there is an infinite list of objects that found their ways into the ring, legally or illegally, to be weaponized. There’s the now-commonplace, like tables and ladders, but also guitars, snakes, trashcans, forks, thumbtacks, kendo sticks, and even green mist and the good ol’ salt to the eyes trick. We’ll talk about the spectacular, the scurrilous, and the just plain bizarre on today’s episode until it’s time to...stick a fork in it.
We start off talking about our favorite foreign objects. Chris discusses the harrowing use of the fork by Abdullah, and Dave introduces us to a range of less-common foreign objects, including fire, ether, and objects that are part of a wrestler's costume. Noell takes us to the terrifying, to the sadistic, to...legos?
Noell's History Corner walks us through the long history of illegal objects, from Wild Bull Curry in the 1930s to the present. Dave tells us about the evolution from wooden chairs to metal chairs. Chris asks about how foreign objects moved from being something serendipitously and immediately accessible in the midst of a brawl to being designed into matches.
We talk about how ECW ushered in an era of varied and theretofore uncommon foreign objects, including cheese graters and rolling pins. Dave notes, "You wonder if Mick Foley would have had the same career if it weren't for ECW." Noell tells us about light tubes in GCW and their real-world dangers.
A core segment of the show is on the famous green or poison mist. Chris discusses the symbolism of poison in literary history, and Dave takes us through the history of the mist in pro wrestling. Noell notes that, in contrast to the clanging chair shot, green mist is
a very quiet foreign object" that gets a loud reaction nonetheless.
We close the show with a discussion of our favorite weird foreign objects, including...checks notes..piranhas, bicycles, and avant-garde mannequin heads.
You won't want to miss this brawl down memory lane! Keep your eyes and ears open, folks, because we will try to hit you with something unexpected throughout this episode.
