Gimmicks And Props Wrestlers Use Most Often To Please Crowds
Wrestlers all over the world think up different gimmicks, and use different props to be more entertaining to the crowd. They call wrestling ‘sports entertainment’ because it is staged to please the audience. The following article will talk about some of the different gimmicks and props wrestlers commonly use.
If a wrestler sees an electric guitar for sale, he will likely jump at the chance to purchase it. This is because guitar gimmicks seem to be popular with the fans. Nothing is more fun than seeing an electric guitar smashed over top of someone’s head! This is normally grounds for an immediate disqualification for the offender, but boy does it make the crowd pop!
Next, wrestlers have been known to use gimmicks that involve helmets. Some of the wrestlers use gimmicks that entail riding motorcycles to the ring wearing a helmet. Others just wear a helmet so that they can throw it to the fans before starting their match. Once I saw a wrestler with a black helmet gimmick where he would head butt his opponent while wearing the helmet. A blood capsule was taped to the top of the helmet and exploded upon impact.
Another thing that totally pleases wrestling fans is when the wrestlers have gimmicks that include face paint or make up. In any wrestling crowd you will find fans with their face make up designed to support their favorite wrestler.
Full face masks on wrestlers always gets the crowd in a roar. The options are limitless when it comes to story line material that revolves around masks. It is fun for the fans to taunt a mask wearing, chanting his real identity out loud. Also, many wrestlers from Mexico choose to wear masks to the ring to symbolize honor.
Lastly, many wrestlers where underwear type bottoms as a part of their gimmicks. When this is the case, men waxing products are used as a tool to remove unwanted body hair. Unless their body hair is a part of their gimmick, hair removal products are often used regularly by wrestlers. Baby oils is often used, as well, to give their skin a shiny look.
Gimmicks and props are a necessary part of professional wrestling. In order to please the crowd, they must give the crowd what they want… Something popular. The above mentioned wrestling gimmicks are just the beginning. The options are really endless.
