10 Most Fake Wrestling Props Ever
5. Every F*cking Cinder Block, Ever
A prop has to look like the real article. That's the point.
The table, while heavily gimmicked, doesn't necessarily look like something that would suck to take, but it sounds like it would, which is the point. The ladder match is the most redundant and sadly ineffective gimmick match in all of wrestling. The purpose is beyond warped now. Several wrestlers have discussed how much they despise the genre. Jon Moxley will willingly explode himself but hates working with the ladder. The prop should have retained its actually very real sense of danger. It hasn't. The wrestling fandom is numb to it.
If a ladder no longer registers as dangerous, what chance does a fake cinder block have?
A cinder block is made out of concrete, and yet the block infrequently utilised by WWE crumbles upon impact.
Think about it: when you walk outside, does the pavement shatter as you stride upon it? If you've ever un-ironically typed the word "AEWsexual," don't answer that. It would shatter under your morbidly obese feet, were you ever to actually leave your residence. But to everybody else: no, it doesn't. Because it's made out of concrete. The cinder block is a farce and an insult.
Which right-minded wrestler would sell bumping on a pile of dust?
Apart from every other one from the '80s, obviously.
