10 Bizarre Wrestling Facts We Just Accept
3. Weapons Must Be Stored Under The Ring
A responsible gun owner always keeps their weapon safely locked away. The thought of a dangerous weapon falling into the wrong hands is too much to bear. Better safe than sorry, right? Not in WWE.
If WWE's taught us one thing, it's that foreign objects must be readily accessible at all times, ideally under the ring. This allows an opportunistic heel to quickly take advantage of a distracted or otherwise incapacitated official. See: ref bump.
Tables, ladders, and chairs - who cares? WWE doesn't discriminate. They only do that with people. Fire extinguishers? Throw them under the ring too. Why not? If it can smack someone in the face, that's where it belongs. Everyone - and everything - deserves a home. We guess.
It's hard to bat an eye at WWE superstars treating the underside of the ring like a personal weapons locker when we see this fact play out week after week. And if R-Truth and Hornswoggle are spending that much time down there, maybe they're onto something.
But at a basic level, WWE must be seriously lacking in storage space. Maybe it's time Vince McMahon and co. thought about renting a storage locker. Besides, it'd be a real upgrade for the likes of Mankind and his boiler room or The Boogeyman and wherever the hell he lives. First month's free!
