DiBiase had the black glove. Duggan had the 2x4. JYD had the chain. Some others were the Grappler and the loaded boot. Killer Karl Kox brought a military shovel to the ring on ocassion. Cornette had the tennis racket.
I'll go with DiBiase, because when the glove would come into play, the audience would gasp that something terrible was going to happen. Not always, but most of the time. Taylor escaped the deeds of the glove and won the NA title.

The loaded boot was my favorite.
Because kicking a guy in the head full force with just your plain old boot ain't traumatic enough!

Definitely the loaded glove. The way they managed to have DiBiase load it just as the ref turned his back always guaranteed heat. It also drew huge pops whenever it worked against Teddy.
Keep in mind, DiBiase also had a cast for a short period (early summer 1983), and it was used against JYD, Wrestling II, Duggan and Dusty Rhodes (great finish to a world title bout with Bockwinkel in Houston). Things came to a head when Duggan shattered the cast against the ringpost during a fracas on TV.
Both were great props, and could draw so much more from the crowd, just as it did in Georgia. Too bad the WWF didn't incorporate it into Teddy's "Million Dollar Man" repertoire.

Cornette always got a great crowd reaction with his antics, specifically when the tennis racket blew up in his face. The cake incident/party still is great to this day with the RNR. Some other objects included Dutch Mantel and "shoo-baby", Ernie Ladd's taped thumb(even though he took that everywere during his career), Dr. Death and his adjustable arm cast/brace that he used. I think Volkoff or Krushchev used a shovel to win a few matches in an underhanded way as well. I seem to remember them cheating on the RNR or Taylor with something.

Please refresh my memory on Dutch Mantel and shoo-baby. Can't remember it.

Shoo-baby was a long bullwhip Dutch carried into the ring...

Buck Robley had his arm brace which would get an adjustment on occasion. Humongous had the hockey mask of doom. Adrian Street had Miss Linda hairspray opponents in the eyes, causing permanent blindness (or at least long enough for a rollup). Gen Ackbar used his lit cigar to burn half of Jim Duggan's face off when he wouldn't get off Kamala. And of course, The Great Kabuki would green mist any punk that wouldn't remain still for his thrust kick-

Buck Robley is the first person I can remember using a loaded object and get a face reaction.

Never brought into Watts and the bat/2x4 ... he moved so slow by then, it looked like anyone could have taken it from him.

Well, when you are getting on up in the years as Watts was, he needed a ball bat to even things out with the youngsters. When you cannot beat people fairly anymore, you find other ways to beat people.(laughs)

If the Cowboy knew you were making fun of him, he would get a babyface to drive him to wherever you were, rip out your eye, feed it to you and make you like it. And then he would take out the emergency responders with a baseball bat and walk tall.

This may not count as an actual weapon, but the Freebird "hair cream" that blinded the Dog has to go down as the greatest Mid-South lore and achieved legend status in MS history.

My point is not if he needed the bat or not, my point is he was so slow that it appeared that anyone could have TAKEN the bat from him or was it a 2x4?

It's all good, Razor. I was just messing around with my post. It was not intended to be very serious on my part. I think Watts carried the ball bat most of the time. Duggan was the 2x4 practitioner.
