Companion Cube/Professional Wrestling

Examples of s in include:


 * In the Japanese professional wrestling promotion Dramatic Dream Team (DDT), several inanimate objects have held the promotion's "Ironman Heavymetalweight Championship" (a joke title defended any time at any place during any match against anyone or anything, in a parody of WWE's retired Hardcore Title and its infamous "24/7 Rule"). Several of these inanimate "performers" include Kitty-Chan (a Hello Kitty plushie), a wooden baseball bat, and—most memorably—Ladder. All of these "wrestlers" were treated by actual wrestlers and DDT performers/crew as if they were any other human competitor.
 * In fact, not one, not two, but three different Ladders have held the belt. And the baseball bat lost the title by a "KO" decision after being broken in half.
 * Also from DDT is YOSHIHIKO, an inflatable love doll. See the insanity for yourself.
 * Note that the WWE's Hardcore Title received this treatment at least once itself—one of the most prominent members of the Hardcore division was Al Snow, a Cloudcuckoolander who carried around a mannequin head and treated it as if it was alive, and, in Al's mind at least, Head once held the Hardcore Title after she turned on Al.
 * Perhaps the ultimate version came with Internet wrestling parody Brawlers on a Budget, where the You Gotta Be Kidding I Ain't Doing That Are You Out Of Your Fricking Mind title belt won itself on three separate occasions. On one occasion winning it from another title belt.
 * Wouldn't that have been a Head Heel Turn?
 * If we're bringing up e-Wrestling in any form, Premier WC deserves a mention. The first tag team champions were a 6'8" powerhouse and his faithful colleague and tag partner, a common wrench known as Wrenchie (who could pull off a mean 630 Phoenix Splash if given the right push).
 * Of course, the WWF of the 90's and early 2000's loved this trope, too. Several wrestlers utilized Companion Cubes, such as Mankind (Socko!), Al Snow (Head!), and Perry Saturn (uh... mop with a wig!).
 * Steve Austin's watch, which, I guess, was broken because it was always the same time.
 * Let's not forget Chavo and Pepe!
 * Rick Stenier often talked and listened to his own hand for awhile. If I remember correctly, he also had a bulldog that he talked to as well.
