10 Silliest Foreign Objects In Wrestling History

This one makes me feel old because unfortunately I remember when mobiles actually looked like this, and were solely the preserve of pretentious yuppies, as opposed to every single person on earth.

However, even though mobiles were once Herculean devices that looked as if they were suitable for building small houses out of, they were never that bloody tough. They might have been a whole lot more robust than an iPhone (although probably nowhere near as solid as a Nokia 3310), but it's a bit of a stretch to think that a pretentious jerk on the apron could knock out a giant in the ring by using something that he calls his mum on.

Regardless of this, though, the effect was still very cool, and I'm not actually bagging it. As a foreign object, the phone added to Paul E. Dangerously’s character perfectly, and just because it was silly doesn't mean it was pointless. It emphasised the douchebaggery of Paul E. in multiple different ways, and when the phone inevitably broke it made it look like the opponent must have been hit brutally hard.

It would be kind of interesting to see what would happen if they tried this one today. I'd love to see Dolph Ziggler try and sell a head shot from an iPhone. I feel like he could probably pull it off.
