10 Least Convincing Weapons In WWE
9. Wrestling Boot
Ring gear is obviously not a foreign object per se, but you'd better hope the referee isn't looking when you decide to strangle your opponent with your wrist tape or, in this case, hit them with your stripped-off boot (or theirs.)
We've all seen it done, but it's always been difficult to recreate the thought process that has led people to assault other people with disembodied soft leather footwear over their own highly-trained bony extremities.
A real boot would not doubt hurt; a steel-toe boot would be freaking deadly… but a typical wrestling boot has soft soles, and obviously no steel toes.
So throwing a hook with a boot simply puts a bunch of cushioning between your delicious knuckles and your opponent's starving face. It's kinda like a knuckle sandwich, but in the lamest way possible.
A padded wrestling boot already requires some selling when there's a foot inside it, but as a handheld weapon, it ranks right below a !*$% pack full of Tic Tacs (those crummy white ones).
