Simon Dean (Clearwater, FL, 210 pounds) vs Taylor Phoenix (Sheffield, England, 209 pounds, already in the ring) - Taylor moved since Heat? The Dean Machine is a razor this week? 210 pounds? Hilariously, Taylor urges the crowd to cheer for him - don't worry, Simon's not a cult favorite. Your ref is Korderas. Guess who's talking? "People of England, my name is Simon Dean. [boos] And Simon Says, when I arrived in your country, I was appalled. Your pathetic country, that is. [boos] I was appalled to find out that you people are even fatter and more out of shape than your American counterparts. [boos] And I don't event know how that's possible, because number one, your food stinks [boos], and number two, your teeth are so rotten, I don't know how you can even chew it in the first place. Now lad, what's your name, and were are you from." "My name is Taylor, and I'm from SHEFFIELD [please cheer - they do!]" "Come here. Well, Taylor, from Sheffield, it's obvious that you're in poor shape. Have you ever consider supplementing your diet with my Simon System protein bar?" "...

WWE Tag Team Champions M & N (w/M, Los Angeles, CA, 440 pounds) vs Paul London & Brian Kendrick (361 pounds) in a non-title match (I think) - we get careful angles of Melina's ring entrance. Your ref is Chris Kay, who I guess is sticking around. Your know, the challengers entrance is a slight bit shorter than the champions.
