10 Silliest Foreign Objects In Wrestling History

While the sledgehammer is mind-bogglingly silly for all the wrong reasons, it's actually not the silliest. That prize would, of course, have to go to the patented WWE ‘cinder block’.

You know the one – it kind of looks like a real cinder block. But whereas a real cinder block would be strong enough to both build a school and kill any person unfortunate enough to be struck with one, the WWE version can apparently crumble with the slightest touch, but also end a match at the same time. It truly is a beautiful mystery of physics.

Remember that scene in the Dark Knight Rises that everyone hates? The one where Bruce Wayne has a hydraulic brace on his knee that allows him to kick through a brick? Well, that scene is still nowhere near as silly as any sequence in WWE that features a cinder block. Because at least they made a token nod to the fact that he has something that gives him superhuman powers.

When Seth Rollins uses a cinder block, we are supposed to suspend our disbelief to the point where this is perfectly fine, and he would stay in employment despite using a foreign object that is blatantly homicidal. And when Dean Ambrose manages to shatter one with his SKULL, we are meant to be totally cool with him turning up on SmackDown a couple of days later – despite the fact that surviving an impact with a cinder block like that would basically make him a God.

There is silly that is fun…and silly that is infuriating. The cinder block is undoubtedly the latter.
