10 Most Fake Wrestling Props Ever

10. WCW Attempts To Use An Electric Chair

The thing about using an electric chair - in addition to sanctioning murder live on pay-per-view, which seems a bit libellous - is that it couldn't look convincing or even good.

Nobody was going to accept that a man's life had been taken, and a real-looking electric chair is less violent than it looks, at least according to motion pictures. The insta-corpse flails around in disturbing fashion, and the sound effect is scary enough, but it's not really a big spectacle of a visual, is it?

Sure, it's rather unsettling, but little Timmy in the cheap seats isn't going to see Abdullah foaming at the mouth, is he?

Best put some sparklers on the thing to make a man's ostensible death look like a fireworks celebration!

The pyro activity was actually busier than at Revolution 2020, which was unfortunate in this context. Pyro conditions a crowd to pop.

"F*ck yeah! A guy is dying! This f*ckin' rules!"

If the pyro didn't expose the sham, the close-up of the apparatus did: nothing was connected to Abdullah's head, and he sold actual death as if struggling to get to the vinegar strokes.
