7. Tables
Bubba Ray and Devon may not have invented the folding table, but, well, no, they absolutely invented the folding table.
Tables were used for years in the business, mostly on the outside of the ring. Terry Funk used the piledriver on Ric Flair, on a very sturdy table that was not made to break, and the crowd was stunned. It was very effective.
But when The Dudleys began their love affair with tables, it turned the gimmick into an artf orm.
Now, it seems ridiculous when a table is not used in a match that allows it, or in a match that involves two guys who are trying to kill each other.
But, as great as the table is, it's right here with the steps and the ladder in terms of difficulty to use in a regular pro wrestling match setting.
