10 Dumbest Wrestling Props Ever

1. Triple H's Sledgehammer

Triple H Sledgehammer
WWE.com

A sledgehammer is a blunt instrument more than capable, wielded the correct way 'round and with sufficient strength, of caving somebody's head in. Wielded with the might of Thor, it is heavy enough to fracture the skull and cause the brain matter inside of it to ooze from the ears of the victim, naturally killing them.

Weirdly, since he fancied himself as Thor, Triple H didn't know how to use it properly.

And that is because he couldn't use it properly.

Because it was a f*cking sledgehammer.

He couldn't swing it gung-ho, metal hammer first, because that could have went disastrously wrong even if the metal bit was made out of solid rubber. Still, Triple H felt like had to use this murder weapon, which would not naturally appear in any wrestling arena, because it made him look tough and ruthless and hard. But since he couldn't use it correctly - because it was a f*cking sledgehammer - he had to hold it horizontally with his hand covering the dangerous bit before hitting his opponents with it. If it were real, he'd have hurt his hand just as much as his rival's face.

And he had the gall to tell CM Punk that he didn't know to work.
