Most of the time, when the crowd chants “we want tables,” the wrestlers are more than happy to oblige them. Similar to Chekhov’s Gun, when you introduce a table or barbed wired covered tables or thumbtack laden flaming tables, they’re going to get broken into shards by either falling or getting driven into the hardware.

A table spot is one of the most realistic in wrestling. While chances are, none of us mere mortals have ever been driven through one, we all have tables in the home but we don’t necessarily have kendo sticks and sledgehammers laying around. Plus, crashing through a table is wrestling’s equivalent to a big Michael Bay explosion. Here are the 10 most creative uses of one.

10 Awesome And Tanaka Redecorate The Arena

While tag teams like the Dudleys and main event bouts in the WWE made tables famous, that was just one table at a time. Sometimes two or three, but that is nothing compared to the damage that Mike Awesome and Masato Tanaka would do in one match! Paul E. should have bought stock in Home Depot. When these two gladiators got together, they almost immediately started tossing one another into tables. At their final encounter at One Night Stand, Awesome hurled Tanaka from the ring into a table on the floor then hurled himself onto Tanaka.

9 Diesel Shoves Bret

Bret Hart made his career out of making everything he did or what was done to him look very real. So while superstars over the years spend a few moments moving everything off of the announce table to save Vince some money on camera equipment, he just had Diesel flying full force right into him during their match at the 1995 Survivor Series.

Not only was it just the second table spot in WWE history, but it was also the first one involving the Spanish announce table.

8 Sabu Welcomes Rey Home

With all of the time he spent touring the world with WCW and later in the WWE, it’s easy to forget that it was ECW where American audiences first got their taste of Rey Mysterio. Sabu would welcome the legendary Luchador back home at One Night Stand 2006. In what was actually the finish of their match, Sabu executed a nasty looking triple jump DDT through a table that storyline-wise incapacitated both competitors.

7 Dreamer Ends Prime Time

As the nWo were running amok in WCW and HBK was cementing his place in the WWE, ECW was repeatedly finding new levels of violence to take their company to. That usually meant you needed the "Innovator Of Violence" Tommy Dreamer to lend a helping hand. He wrestled Prime Time Brian Lee at the aptly named High Incident event. The two brawled all over the arena before climbing a scaffold and the unfortunate fate awaiting one of them - a cadre of tables to break their fall from the scaffold. Dreamer would eventually get the upper hand and punch Lee until he collapsed into the pile of tables waiting for him.

6 Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down

No matter the career Batista had in the ring and now as an action star, one of his biggest highlights will always be the big moment that made him. After winning the 2005 Royal Rumble, all eyes were on him and wondering if he would challenge JBL on Smackdown for his WWE Title or would he break up Evolution and go after Triple H for the World Title.

In the now-infamous moment, Batista mimicked Triple H’s own “Thumbs Up / Thumbs Down” gesture before beating the heck out of the champ and delivering a Batista Bomb right through the contract table.

5 Ladders + Tables = Jeff Hardy

Jeff Hardy had nearly gone his entire career without suffering an injury putting him on the shelf. For a guy who loves to jump from great heights and use tables to break his fall, that’s an impressive feat. Edge spearing Hardy from the ladder is the money moment in nearly every WrestleMania montage. But Hardy’s epic Swanton from a giant ladder through Rhyno and Spike Dudley with two tables to break all three of their falls is certainly no slouch either as far as highlight reels go.

4 WrestleMania Flaming Tables

Mick Foley has bled on every continent and has the scars to prove it. He’s been thrown off and through tables, thumbtacks, boards on fire or not, and who knows what else. But the likable and respected superstar never really had a WrestleMania moment. That was until WrestleMania 22 when he ran afoul of the "Rated-R Superstar" Edge. The two battled it out in a hardcore match that not surprisingly ended when Edge speared Foley through a flaming table right to the floor.

3 Inducing Mae Young

Don’t ever ask the Dudley Boyz to help with a pregnant lady, she might wind up getting powerbombed through a table! Mae Young, preggers with Mark Henry’s love hand, had been targeted by those damn Dudley Boyz. If you ever thought Bubba and D-Von wouldn’t assault a near octogenarian with child and in a wheelchair...sheesh, what wrestling are you watching?! Bubba not only powerbombed her through a table but through a table and off the stage. And off to the grandmother’s labor we went! Young was rushed to the back where her lovely hand was born.

2 Last Woman Standing

Whenever Becky Lynch and Charlotte get together for a match, you can rest assured they’re going to beat the heck out of each other and steal the show. The ladies did battle at the Evolution PPV in a Last Woman Standing Match. They also found out how to liberally use tables - almost as much as Awesome and Tanaka!

In the thirty-minute plus-brawl, Flair nailed her patented moonsalt, but the table wouldn’t break. If at first...she would then use a flipping senton to make sure the hardware broke - that was only the first of several table spots of the match!

1 Mankind Begins His Hell

Mick Foley’s career-defining moment. He knew he’d never be able to match the skill level that The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels had at the first Hell In A Cell. Instead, Foley would wow the crowd with an even grander spectacle. He went to the top of the cell with a chair to start the match. "The Phenom" was more than demonic to oblige him! He climbed up and within a minute of the match starting, sent Mankind floating through the air with the greatest of unease into a table and into history!
