In case you missed it: Above is a clip from this week's "WWE Raw" of guest host Mark Cuban being run through a plywood folding table by a large man named "Sheamus." Cuban is a billionaire, Internet pioneer (just ask him!), and the owner of the Dallas Mavericks. He most certainly doesn't need to be run through a table to get attention. Yet, there is Mark Cuban, getting thrown through a table in front of a packed house. Mark Cuban is awesome.
Why'd he volunteer to hurt himself? ESPN's "PTI" guys speculated that Cuban was living out a childhood fantasy, and that makes sense. Personally, I wanted to be a firefighter, but I didn't want to run into a burning building! I wanted to drive the big truck around, maybe pet a Dalmatian, and eat the heck out of some firehouse chili. Cuban could've been a bystander in the ring and not get thrown around by a chemically-enhanced Beaker look-alike. But Mark Cuban is clearly a bigger man than I am -- one who believes that if you're going to be on "WWE Raw," you should be on "WWE Raw." I'm only half-surprised that he didn't get hit over the head with a folding chair.
