Mark Cuban Gets Thrown Through A Table On WWE Raw
One has to hand it to Mark Cuban. Usually when celebrities make an appearance on “WWE Monday Night Raw,” they aren’t getting thrown through a table.
But there Cuban was at the end of Raw last night getting just that done to him by The Celtic Warrior — Sheamus O’Shaughnessy.*
*I happened to watch this live last night — don’t judge! — and I have an observation/question: is professional wrestling the only entertainment medium that can get away with sustained lulls in action anymore? Most other TV doesn’t do it. Movies don’t do it. The Internet certainly doesn’t do it.
But the entire last scene with Cuban in which he moderated a press conference between The Celtic Warrior — who is a horrific stereotype with an even worse fake accent — and Jon Cena lasted 20 minutes or so. Yet, I swear this thing could have been cut in half if the audience didn’t have to sit through long pauses in words and action while Cena was just staring and staring and staring at The Celtic Warrior, and vice versa. Professional wresting is essentially a staring contest with monologues and fake fighting occasionally thrown in. Add in The Celtic Warrior lurking and posturing around the ring for a bit while Cuban and Cena lay on the ground, and it’s like the “sport” is playing the ultimate joke on us: we know it’s staged, we know what’s going to happen, we know when there were tables in the ring for the press conference and Cena and the Warriorbro were talking about their upcoming table match, that the tables were going to be used.
But it takes so long to get there, it’s like you’re listening to someone tell the long version of a bad joke in which you already know the punchline.
Um, so, yeah, anyway: here’s the video. Please do enjoy.
