** There are several reasons why the folding chair is a ubiquitous weapon in wrestling. It's readily available, it's visible and easily recognizable (as opposed to regular weapons that may be too small for people in the nosebleeds to see), its large surface area means that impact is dispersed if hit across an opponent's back or arm, it makes a loud, painful sound when it connects, and it's less like to break or shatter upon impact and accidentally cut a wrestler.

* Virtually everyone in pro wrestling has made use of what is ''the'' most iconic improbable weapon in the industry (heck, maybe in all pop culture): the steel folding chair. That it's synonymous with the profession should not detract from how odd it is to use one in the first place.

** Some isolated incidents: Masaaaki Mochizuki was once forced to [[ItMakesSenseInContext act as Cyber Kong's karate robot and assist Kong in a cage match from the outside.]] For this purpose he was equipped with a RocketPunch, which in actuality was a boxing glove at the end of a six-foot pole. Jimmy Susumu once brought a crab leg to a street fight.
