This week's WWE Raw guest host Mark Cuban appeared on KTCK radio in Dallas earlier this week talking about his experience taking a slam through a table from Sheamus and how much preparation he was given by WWE before his key role.

Cuban played up the physicality of the final segment when he took a blow to the gut from Sheamus before going through the table to make for a good story on radio.

“Yes, it hurt when he pushed me on the ground and I was like 'Dang!' ... When I hit the ground when he pushed me I think I dinged my elbow," Cuban said. "When he hit me in the stomach, he hit me in the stomach. I mean there are people ten feet away and you pull it and he didn’t hit you those guys are not going to get into it and are going to be yelling, 'Fraud or Fake!'" ... Maybe the outcomes are preordained but the physicality is not."

Cuban talked about his guest referee role for the Kofi Kingston vs. Randy Orton match, specifically not being prepared for the action before the planned finish.

"When I was refereeing, all they (WWE) told me was here is your chance to payback if and when Kofi gets Randy Orton to the ground, you do a quick count and you get the hell out of there right? But I didn’t know where the action was going to go," Cuban said.

Cuban continued: "So I am thinking to myself that I am at least a referee at least look for things because they told me the basic rules: If they are in a corner you have to count to four and get them off of the ropes. But I am thinking to myself that he is just going to throw him into the ropes and I am not going to be able to get out of the way quick enough. So I had to be on my toes and that is why at the beginning I was just watching then it dawned on me that I could get run over. So I am moving around a lot thinking to myself to stay light on my toes so you can zig or zag which ever way you have to go.”
