#1 Are the weapons in matches legitimate?


Weapons have always been a mainstay in Wrestling. First being introduced and commercialized during the heydays of Extreme Championship Wrestling. The violence and adult content on the show had quite a cult following, resulting in WWF allegedly basing the premise of the Attitude Era (1997-2001) off of it, which went on to become the most popular phase in wrestling history.
There are a range of weapons strategically placed under the ring, which wrestlers can use to their fancy. 75% of these weapons are real. Steel Chairs, Sledge Hammers, Thumb Tacks etc are genuine. Wrestlers spend years in Wrestling School learning how to take the impact and deliver blows with a weapon without actually hurting each other.
Tables and Ladders are however slightly re-enforced to avoid injuries. Despite training for years, weapons still hurt, and chair shots to the head along with a few more dangerous moves have now been banned in the WWE.
