The Moves To Know on Wednesday!

So you want to take a shot? Well, maybe not but you should at least know what a couple types are for future reference. Don't be stupid and try any of these at home on anyone!

Weapon shot

Many items are used as weapons in professional wrestling. Some of the more common weapons used include chairs, guitars, folding tables, title belts, "kendo sticks", and trash cans and their lids.

While picking up the upper half the ring steps for use as a weapon is illegal, slamming an opponent into the ring steps is not considered illegal, though it is frowned upon.


A wrestler simply hits the opponent with a chair. In modern wrestling Steel/metal folding chairs are used with the strike being performed with the flat face of the chair to slow the swing and distribute the impact, to prevent injury.

Sabu is perhaps best known for using chairs as much as possible in his matches, often throwing chairs at opponents rather than actually hitting them with it. He is also well known for using the chair as a step-up/springboard type object to aid in other moves.

Rob Van Dam is also well known for using chairs with various kicking combos, for example his Van-Daminator, and his Van-Terminator.
