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.

What do you get when you combine Tinkerbell from "Peter Pan," Ogie Ogilthorpe from "Slap Shot," and The Rock annihilating Stone Cold Steve Austin from WrestleMania XIX (above)? Why, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's next movie role in "The Tooth Fairy," naturally; a performance that surely will be one of the most important of our time. Johnson plays a tough minor league hockey player who does a bad thing, and as punishment, is forced to be the tooth fairy for a week. Like, the actual tooth fairy.

Normally a movie asks you to suspend disbelief about one, or maybe two details about its plot. So far, "The Tooth Fairy" has asked me to believe that The Rock can ice-skate, that someone can be sentenced into committing more breaking-and-entering misdemeanors, and that The Rock would tolerate being called a fairy...and I haven't even seen the trailer. But the best part of this movie without question is its poster, which you can see after the jump. The tooth hurts, indeed.

World Wrestling Entertainment CEO Linda McMahon is reportedly considering a run against Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd. Although not as much of a showman as her husband Vince (pictured reprimanding an employee, above), Mrs. McMahon is not above mixing it up with her wrestlers, so it could be a fun campaign, if not the greatest WWE storyline since Donald Trump took over Raw. At any rate, it will be a nice opportunity to recycle all those old Jesse Ventura "Ready to Rumble" headlines.

Above is Jeremy Piven on Jimmy Fallon, plugging his new movie "The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard" by talking about he plugged said movie by guest-hosting WWE's "Monday Night Raw." Unfortunately, Piven didn't get his ass kicked, since pro wrestling is fake.

At any rate, a lot of stars are doing it. In fact, Variety says pro wrestling is the latest stop on the talkshow circuit for celebs with something to plug:

"Upcoming booked talent includes former gameshow host Bob Barker, the Rev. Al Sharpton, 'Access Hollywood' co-host Nancy O'Dell, boxer Floyd Mayweather and basketball player LeBron James. Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz, Ashlee Simpson, the Osbournes, Danny DeVito, Dame Judy Dench, Regis Philbin and Kelly Ripa, Jimmy Fallon, Rachael Ray, MC Hammer, Woody Harrelson, Serena Williams and Ashton Kutcher also are in talks for hosting gigs."*

*One of the above names added by blogger for comedic effect.

Jeremy Piven will follow in the size-23 footsteps of Shaquille O'Neal and host WWE Raw on USA tonight at 9/8 C. Shaq hosted last week and drew 5.77 million viewers to the show, which is the No. 1 program on television for males 18-34.

The "Entourage" star will arrange matches, and manage the roster of superstars and divas -- and these are no ordinary divas. Piven will have his hands full, as evidenced by the clip above.

World Wrestling Entertainment Chairman Vince McMahon, seen above antagonizing a midget on "Raw," is in some hot water with the Securities Exchange Commission over the supposed "sale" of his company to Donald Trump. As regular WWE viewers (read: 13-year-old boys and angry loners) are aware, McMahon recently "sold" the company to Trump as part of an ongoing storyline. WWE and USA Network (which airs "Raw") issued press releases announcing the fake sale in order to drum up publicity, but there was one small problem: WWE is publicly traded, and in the SEC's eyes, that constitutes false reporting.

WWE stock was down almost 7% after the announcement, of course, because anything Donald Trump touches turns either gaudy or bankrupt, and WWE is gaudy already. If an investor files a complaint with the SEC, things could get serious in a hurry for McMahon and Co., but let's be honest for a second: If you've willingly bought WWE stock, you've probably come to expect this kind of stuff.

Once I develop my time machine, I'm going to find the toughest men throughout history and start a football team. My criteria will not only be exceptional athleticism, skill, and ferocity, but also awesome hair. Luckily for me, there is a recruitment tool in place already to help me in my search: professional wrestling. After my initial scouting, I think I've found my franchise's middle linebacker, Mr. Rowdy Roddy Piper.
