10 Weirdest Wrestling Weapons You Won't Believe

4. Electric Light Tubes!

Electric Lightbulb Wrestling Once fluorescent light tubes have expired, they can still be useful as weapons. It isn€™t just the guys from The 40-Year-Old Virgin that employ them in this capacity, either. Hardcore specialists such as Necro Butcher have made these elongated lightbulbs staples of bloodletting indie bouts. In the €˜crimson age€™ of hardore wrestling, companies like CZW thrived on using these ridiculous weapons as cheap, but impressive, in-ring props. Butcher, more than any other, is the undisputed champion of using these bizarre foreign objects. In 2006, he participated in a 4-way €˜200 Lightube Deathmatch€™ alongside indy mental cases Drake Younger, Insane Lane and Corporal Robinson. All four sides of the ring were covered with light tubes. It€™s the most glass smashing you€™ll ever hear in a wrestling match, outside of a Stone Cold showreel, that is. For our part, we hadn€™t seen that much shattered glass since the third act of Police Story. The quality of wrestling is utterly horrendous, but this match needs to be seen at least once, if only for the novelty factor.

I am a professional author and lifelong comic books/pro wrestling fan. I also work as a journalist as well as writing comic books (I also draw), screenplays, stage plays, songs and prose fiction. I don't generally read or reply to comments here on What Culture (too many trolls!), but if you follow my Twitter (@heyquicksilver), I'll talk to you all day long! If you are interested in reading more of my stuff, you can find it on http://quicksilverstories.weebly.com/ (my personal site, which has other wrestling/comics/pop culture stuff on it). I also write for FLiCK http://www.flickonline.co.uk/flicktion, which is the best place to read my fiction work. Oh yeah - I'm about to become a Dad for the first time, so if my stuff seems more sentimental than usual - blame it on that! Finally, I sincerely appreciate every single read I get. So if you're reading this, thank you, you've made me feel like Shakespeare for a day! (see what I mean?) Latcho Drom, - CQ
