Mark Cuban tips his cap to WWE stars after two appearances in company: 'Those guys deserve so much respect'

Mark Cuban, co-owner of the Dallas Mavericks, says his WWE cameos left him with more respect for professional wrestlers—despite coming away with a sore back. Cuban appeared on “Build or Break,” recalling two celebrity moments from his early 2000s stints. He described getting an RKO from Randy Orton and later being slammed through a table by Sheamus during WWE Live events. Cuban said he agreed to participate with two rules: he would get hit and he would get to hit someone. He noted the stunts were orchestrated but still athletic and painful, adding that he was sore for about two weeks afterward.
