Here is the tutorial on how to use this deadly pro-wrestling weapon.
WWE Hall of Famer Mick Foley is arguably one of the most popular pro-wrestlers in the industry. In a career spanning over a decade, Foley earned multiple championships while also establishing himself as a ferocious and deadly hardcore wrestler. Foley, known for taking bumps and launching brutal attacks on his opponents, recently revealed the trick to the correct use of the ring bell as a weapon.
During an appearance on Maven’s YouTube channel, Mick Foley became involved in a detailed discussion about several pro-wrestling’s hardcore weapons. When the discussion diverted to the ring bell, the former World Champion revealed the trick to correctly use it.
I was a big believer in just coming at you with the body as hard as I could, but I would have the prop with me. So I was going to hit you as hard as I could, but I wouldn’t be hitting you with the bell. I remember Randy Orton like, ‘I’ve never done this before.’ I said, ‘Run into me as hard as you can, but just you’re running into me with the object as opposed to going [motions like he’s swinging the bell], and especially when it’s something like that, you can’t really work with it. It’s noticeable, but not bad, most of the time. If somebody doesn’t know what they’re doing, they could split you open like a ripe melon.”

While the ring bells are not a common weapon for a wrestler to use, it has often been utilized during matches. It may be recalled that the ring bell played a significant role in determining the outcomes of both the Steve Austin-Bret Hart match at WrestleMania 13 and the Randy Savage-Ricky Steamboat match at WrestleMania 3.
WWE Veteran Mick Foley Further Discusses The Role Of A Fire Extinguisher As A Weapon
In the same interview with Maven, the veteran Mick Foley opened up about how much a fire extinguisher used to hurt when used as a weapon during matches.
“Fire extinguishers are a funny thing. Usually, you’re getting sprayed with it, not hit with it. But the thing about the CO2 extinguishers is that it makes it really hard to breathe. Especially if you’ve been through a match and you’re gassing out already. Panic sets in, because you’re used to being able to draw those breaths, or if you understand, ‘Okay, maybe I’m not in the condition I wish I was.’ Then you throw this on top of it, I’m gonna go with ‘it hurts,’ because I never had an experience where it did not.”
