I'm considering 'animals' props for the sake of this thread. What 'prop' enhanced a character 10 times over - added to their 'persona' or elaborate entrance and was part of their personality. I'm going with Jake Roberts - Snakes........ Go!  |

My all time favorite. Jim Cornette's tennis racket! The snake is a good one. The Sheik also made that famous. Wild Bill Irwin's bullwhip. Kevin Sullivan's wife lol. Great prop right there. The great Kabuki's kendo stick also.

Oh yeah the 2x4. Forgot about that one. Also a shoutout to Ted Dibiase's black glove which he loaded up and won many a match with. And Iron Mike Sharpe with the forearm injury that never healed lol

I'm going old school but Haystacks Calhoun would bring his lucky horseshoe, which would sometimes get used on him. Mr. Fuji would bring a bag of salt which he would throw to each corner before his match to keep evil spirits away and also into the eyes of his opponent when the ref wasn't looking. How about Steve Austin's beer?

Does Ric Flair and his robes count? Or does that fall under attire?
I would say the most famous is definitely Jake and his snakes. Let's be honest, even people who aren't wrestling fans know about that snake.

Let's be honest, even people who aren't wrestling fans know about that snake. absolutely. was he the first to wear those robes? or did they go back to the likes of Nature Boy Buddy Rodgers and Gorgeous George. interesting see old clips of Valentine and Flair together in the Indies - Valentine pretty much wore the same - wonder why Valentine never really took off like Flair - charisma? i get he was an IC and tag team champ legend. isn't his war with Piper at Starcade kind of legendary too? another: Honkey Tonk Man's guitar (and for that matter Jarrett)................ |
