The tables in the WWE give away a lot by the way they look. They are far flimsier than any other weapon that is used during a wrestling match.

The tables are made from really thin chipboard which is held by an evenly thin fame of pipe. The tables can barely take the weight of a fully-grown man, and therefore there have been some instances when the tables have broken either before they’ve been set up properly, or while wrestlers laid on them waiting for their opponent to jump on them.

Tables can be termed as one of the safest weapons to use, as they do not add much more to the pain for a wrestler unless they are probably speared through them. Being jumped on while laying on a table probably does not add too much to the pain of the move.

The main trick is to make sure the opponent is in the center of the table because that is the weakest. The Dudley Boyz are extremely famous for using tables to their advantage, and their most famous finishing move also requires the use of a wooden table.

During a Survivor Series title match in 1995, Diesel knocked Bret Hart off the apron causing him to fall into the announcers' table. That was the initial instance that made the announcer table smashing famous, and has been used by wrestlers such as Big Show and Kane to deliver chokeslams since.
