10 Most Fake Wrestling Weapons Ever
6. Forearm Plate/Hand Pins
Lex Luger and Logan Paul - who'd have ever thought they'd end up grouped together.
The Total Package and the best rookie wrestler of 2022 share character qualities surrounding surgical enhancements.
A big part of Luger's character was the "metal plate" that he had in his forearm. He would use the plate to deliver knockout blows to his opponents, with many demanding that he cover his arm up during matches.
As for Paul, a huge selling point for his match with Roman Reigns at Crown Jewel 2022 was the fact that he had "steel pins" in his hand. This allegedly made his punch much stronger, giving him a significant advantage over the Tribal Chief.
To his credit, Luger genuinely did have a plate put in his arm after a motorcycle accident in 1992. As for Paul, nobody knows for sure if the pins are real.
Either way, having metal in your body does not make your offence any stronger. It's nice to think that a person could gain superhuman fighting powers after an accident, but unfortunately this is real life, not Robocop.
Makes for a nice story, though.
