A ProfessionalWrestling Trope, the Spanish Announcers Table is, [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin naturally]], where the broadcasters for the [[UsefulNotes/SpanishLanguage Spanish-speaking]] audience sit to do their commentary. The one in Wrestling/{{WWE}} is currently manned by lead commentator Marcello Rodríguez and color commentator Jerry Soto, and [[Wrestling/AllEliteWrestling AEW's]] includes Dasha Gonzalez, Alex Abrahantes, and Alvaro Riojas, while the one in Wrestling/ImpactWrestling is manned by Héctor “Moody Jack” Meléndez & Wrestling/{{Konnan}} (for select [=PPVs=]).

More importantly, ever since [[Wrestling/KevinNash Diesel]] threw Wrestling/BretHart through it at the 1995 ''Wrestling/SurvivorSeries'', as a rule, the table gets demolished by a wrestling move at least [[Main/OncePerEpisode once a pay-per-view]]. It has been confirmed that, unlike the English team's, the table is specially designed to collapse upon impact (something that Wrestling/MickFoley credits with saving his life when Wrestling/TheUndertaker famously threw him onto it from the top of the Hell in the Cell cage during their 1998 Wrestling/KingOfTheRing match). Presumably, [[CListFodder it gets targeted]] so as not to interrupt the flow of the more lucrative English commentary. [[note]] Wrestling/JimCornette has stated that Wrestling/VinceMcMahon mandated the wrestlers not use the English announcers table for fear of disrupting the pay-per-view feed.[[/note]] Kind of a wrestling in-joke, it has gotten to the point where if a wrestler seems to be setting up for a move on the regular announcers table (such as [[Wrestling/DwayneJohnson The Rock]] in his match against Wrestling/ChrisJericho at the 2002 ''Wrestling/RoyalRumble''), he will be directed instead to the other one. Wrestling/CMPunk also {{lampshade|Hanging}}d this during the time he was on commentary; when Wrestling/JohnCena put Wrestling/HeathSlater through the English table he was sitting at, he reacted thusly: "This is not the Spanish announce table!" Outside of its regular use in pay-per-views, if the English announce crew even [[{{Foreshadowing}} brings up the existence]] of the Spanish announce table during a televised show, it's a safe bet that somebody will be going through it before the night is over.

During the Wrestling/AttitudeEra, former WWE commentators Hugo Savinovich and Carlos Cabrera would {{lampshade|Hanging}} this trope mercilessly, acting surprised or even ''pleased'' if they went through a whole show with the table intact.

When the Spanish announcer's table isn't ringside, usually this role gets taken over by the BShow's table. And in the rare instance that there's a third table for another language, it's even ''more'' doomed than the Spanish one.

In [[Wrestling/AllEliteWrestling AEW]], the timekeeper's table has taken on this role, due to the commentary team/s being located at the top of the ramp and not at ringside. If there's a table spot, it's going to be the timekeeper's table getting destroyed. Or they'll just put a random table at ringside with no attempt to explain why it's there and hope no one besides Wrestling/JimCornette notices. Completely averted in Wrestling/{{WCW}}, which didn't have a Spanish table to break, in addition to the commentators usually being somewhere near the stage[[note]]And using a metal desk rather than a wooden table[[/note]] rather than at ringside by the time table smashing became fashionable.

Of course, the Spanish announcer's table has played other roles through the years ... or more specifically, the Spanish announcers.
* In 1987, the Islanders (a heel Polynesian tag team of [[Wrestling/{{Meng}} Haku]] and Tama) were feuding in the WWF with Latino favorite Wrestling/TitoSantana, who had publicly made several comments disapproving of Haku and Tama's badass behavior toward friend Wrestling/RickMartel. After a match, the Islanders -- along with manager [[Wrestling/BobbyHeenan Bobby "the Brain" Heenan]] -- walked over to the Spanish announcer's table to confront Santana and -- naturally -- beat him to within an inch of his life. Wrestling/PedroMorales (who was still with the WWF at this time) tried to assist Santana but also got beaten; an unnamed Spanish announcer (presumably the lead announcer) got shoved but nothing more happened to him before officials swarmed the area to herd Haku and Tama to the back.
* The Wrestling/{{TNA}} Spanish table was LAX territory during their existence, with Wrestling/{{Konnan}} serving dual roles as color commentator and wrestler. TNA also had a tag team called the Spanish Announce Team, possibly inspired by this trope.
* In 2012, the [[Wrestling/ThreeMB 3MB]] tag team (Wrestling/HeathSlater, Wrestling/JinderMahal and Wrestling/DrewMcIntyre) started mocking Carlos and Marcelo in a racist style, only to begin a feud with Wrestling/AlbertoDelRio for script reasons.

WWE themselves put together a nice collage of some of the more famous instances of Spanish announcer's table destruction [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xq6dN6V4dAU here]].

Not to be confused with the TagTeam called The Spanish Announce Team or The S.A.T. for short.
