Akio (Tokyo, Japan, 200 pounds) vs Charlie Haas (Dallas, TX, 248 pounds) - we've got Todd going solo and we have Akio out to Akio's music with Akio's video? This is an odd episode already! Akio forget his cool glasses! Your ref is Mike. This match could've come to you from any indy arena in the world like three months ago. Todd doesn't acknowledge we haven't seen Akio on some time (and never on this brand - perhaps he's never seen him before!) Circle. Akio scares Haas away with a kick. Lockup, Haas with an inside cradle, one two no. Okay, now Todd points out Akio's been MIA for a while. Lockup, Akio turns Haas into the corner, break, shove, Haas shoves him down. Akio rolls back into the other corner. Lockup, Haas with a waistlock takedown, waistlock takedown, into a front facelock, into an armbar, and ramming AKio's arm shoulder first into the corner. Akio rushes out of the corner, into an armdrags. Haas twists Akio's arm around his leg and pulls. Akio kicks free from the mat. Loud chop by Akio. One more. Kick, spinning heel kick in the corner. Whip, Akio tries a high clothesline, and Haas ducks under and flapjacks him down. Slam by Haas, spine kick, chop to the chest, repeat, repeat, one two NO. Elbowlock? by Charlie. Akio armdrags out, sending Haas into the corner. Akio nails Charlie in the back with a wheel kick, taking himself out of the ring. Akio hangs onto the ropes, pulls himself up to the apron, and goes up - missile dropkick connects. Akio immediately puts on an inverted facelock. Todd says Akio is bleeding form his nose, but I can't tell on this tiny screen. Todd also says Haas was working on his boxing skills while he was gone. There's a close up, and yep, he's bleeding. Haas elbows out, but Akio rakes the eyes, kicks him down to his knees, and lands a jumping enziguri to the back. Todd think it's a shining wizard - eh. Akio kicks Haas around a bit rather than pin him. Choke on the ropes. Charlie elbowing out again. Haas off the ropes, Akio gets a sleeper, and Haas fades. Are they chanting USA? Haas elbows up, and back suplexes free. Both men are down. Akio up, Hass up, and Haas' boxing skills coming in handy here, though Todd forgets about it. Back elbow, big clothesline, big clothesline, whip, backdrop. Akio's in trouble and pulling himself in the corner, but Haas runs into his boots. Akio out of the corner with a jumping spin kick, but Haas ducks and takes Akio out with a boot to the face. Haas is doing the crazy Haas bit. Layout reverse DDT one two three. (5:31) Nice to see you, Akio.

Still to come: Big Show - where is there a still to come here? It's not like I don't have to hit another button.

Matt Striker (New York City, 237 pounds) vs Bryan Jennings (already in the ring, New York, 222 pounds) - they added a school bell to Striker's music, and sound bites. Your ref is Jack. Striker says something or other - I think they want people to start changing "you love poop", which is the ultimate. Todd explains the Slip N' Side to everyone. Todd refers to GQ a "uppity-up magazine". That's all I got for you. Wasn't that Akio/Haas match great?  I hope they sign him or they have signed them, or whatever it is. Oh, Golden Rule (3:38) "The bottom line is, he can wrestle!"

Big Show (507 pounds, 7 feet tall) vs John Moxley & Dick Rick (495 pounds, already in the ring) in a handicap match - Call me crazy, but I don't believe Dick Rick is that man's real name! Show's eye is still looking a bit raw. Neither guy wants to start - so maybe they both will? Yes, I guess so. Your ref, Chad, is letting his go. Show takes them both down, and if knew who was was who, it still wouldn't matter. Time for the shhhh chops. Wow, he's killing them with clotheslines. One is pressed and thrown on to each other. Show seems in a jollier mood today. He really likes walking over people. Double goozle, double - no, they broke it! So Show boots one down, chokeslams the other, and chokeslams the first. Show lays on top for the win. (2:44) Todd notes that Show's in a good mood - we get to see him call for the chokeslam one more time.

Spirit Squad on RAW. Todd has mentioned Joey quitting, but no specifics.

Lance Cade (Nashville, TN, 282 pounds) vs Viscera (Harlem, NY, 487 pounds) - Cade throws his vest at Lillian. What's going on there? Oh, yea, he doesn't like women. Todd hypes Vis winning the secret battle royal at WrestleMania. Your ref is Mike. Lance jumps Viscera from behind. Whip, reversed, Cade going for move punches. Off the ropes, cross body caught and slammed. Belly to belly by Vis, and this might be over right now if they didn't have to go four minutes. Vis brings him into the corner for chops. Lance's new black hair looks odd. Corner whip, Lance bounces out, Vis scoops him up in a fireman's carry, Cade slips free to the apron, and snaps his throat over the ropes. Cade off the ropes, clothesline, Vis won't go down. Once again, off the ropes, and this time a forearm to the back, but still now. Cade punches Vis in the corner. Corner whip, now, Vis bullocks it. Cade works him over a little more and tires the whip again, but this time Vis returns it. Vis charges into a back elbow, Cade to the middle rope, diving clothesline one two no. Crossface forearms. Ineffective looking neck vice. Vis standing off the ropes, Cade off the ropes, and Vis knocks him down. Legdrop! Cade is somehow up first after taking that, but he goes down to a couple clotheslines. Cade off the ropes, into a side slam. He's teasing Visagra. There's the hip swivel, but he took enough time, Cade could recover and crawl away, thankfully for him. Vis corners him, corner whip, revving up, running corner splash works. Cade stumbles to the ropes, and gets clotheslined out. Vis yells at the referee for suggesting he shouldn't go out. He really shouldn't go out, because Cade's grabbed a chair - and he uses it on Viscera. Huge chair shot, Vis' down, and the match is over. (DQ 3:45) Cade can't believe they'd DQ for such a thing. Cade killed him, and Todd thinks he's lost his mind, but we never get a replay - they end the show so fast, it's awful lucky Cade caused the DQ there, or they would've run out of time!

That's it.
