6. The Table (The Dudley Boyz)

Nowadays, seeing a WWE main event play out without at least one wrestler crashing through a nearby table feels unique. The spot always provokes a big reaction from fans, even though it's incredibly common today. Things weren't always that way, as there was a time when the table bump was legitimately shocking.

The Dudley Boyz are perhaps the ones most responsible for making table bumps a weekly thing on WWF/WWE television. Rewind to the early years of the new millennium and you'll witness D-Von and Bubba Ray either hit a 3D or Powerbomb helpless victims through the wood on a regular basis.

It wasn't only male wrestlers who suffered this fate. The likes of Trish Stratus and even the elderly Mae Young also went through tables. Any time the tag-team appear now, fans light up at the prospect of seeing someone being put through the furniture.

Chants of 'We Want Tables' still fill up arenas when The Dudleyz aren't even there. Tables have become almost as routine as any other aspect of WWE programming.
