10 Silliest Foreign Objects In Wrestling History

I don’t hold a huge amount of nostalgia for the Attitude Era like so many others do, and partly that's because when it wasn't excellent, it was utterly terrible. Too often the silliness felt like it was ripped straight from a dreadful teen movie, and too often it seemed like a Vince McMahon fantasy.

When it was good, though, they could balance silliness and excitement like nobody else. And that is where we get classic ideas like this.

As a foreign object, you basically can not go more complicated than a vehicle. Using a vehicle sounds so great on paper but in real life, it always comes off as stupid. How can you use a car or a truck against someone without killing them for instance? Or without at least seriously injuring them? It's silly, but for all the wrong reasons.

Somehow, though, the WWF managed to defy the odds, and successfully use a truck as a foreign object. Not only did they make it work, but they actually turned the sequence into one of the best wrestling moments of all time.

All they had to do was focus on what the truck was carrying as opposed to the truck itself. Considering Austin’s gimmick, the answer must have screamed at them in the face. So once a beer truck was secured, all that was necessary was to get Austin to drive it into the arena and use the beer as the weapon instead. Austin sprayed beer at Vince McMahon until he looked like he was drowning in the liquid amber.

It was so silly, yet also so incredibly bold and innovative, that it showed how fun wrestling can be when everyone is working creatively and not cynically.
