    Build or break full contact WWE wrestling. Oh, I did it twice. I loved it. Yeah. They reached out to me in 2003 after I just bought the Mavs. They said, we have WWE coming to Dallas. Would you like to participate? Because we'll get celebrities come in and do cameos. I'm happy to do it, but I have two rules. One, I get hit. Two, I get to hit somebody. And so I got RKO'd by Randy Orton. We had to practice it and do this stuff, and it was still hard. It still hurt. Then I did it again in 2009, and I did this whole thing with John Cena and everything. And there's this guy, a wrestler named Seamus. They were like, okay, Seamus has never hit the canvas. We know your rules. You get to put him down so he hits the camera. But on the flip side, he's going to put you through a table. But it was a real table. They told me he's going to put you right in the center of the table. It'll just crack in half. But keep your head down. Because if your head's up and you hit, you'll break your neck. I'm like, my head will be down. And so he puts me through and we broke the table. I did my whole pretend I'm dead thing, right? and I was sore for two weeks. My back hurts so bad. Those guys deserve so much respect because it may be orchestrated, but it's still athletic and it's still painful.
