1. The Steel Chair
So, we finally reach No. 1—the pinnacle of cheating in the pro wrestling match, the weapon of weapons. The steel chair.
All hail the steel chair.
Anyone can use the chair, and it can be used in so many ways, from a shot to the head, the back, an arm or leg, even to the abdomen. The steel chair is an equal opportunity equalizer that usually spells doom for the guy taking the hit.
Add to this the fact it does not even have to be swung to be used, rather just slamming a wrestler down onto it, to gain a victory, and you have an all purpose weapon.
No matter how clean, or how extreme any pro wrestling promotion wants to be in its presentation, the fact is the steel chair is the one weapon that can be used in any situation, for any reason. It gets a guaranteed reaction from any audience, and can do what appears to be a severe amount of damage in very little time.
The steel chair is the king of all illegal weapons, and it will likely never give up the throne.
