More synonymous with SmackDown than RAW, Teddy Long nevertheless does a great upset Charlie Brown bit - so expect a browbeating cameo in which he is reprimanded for his match-making declaration of choice, as something of a scapegoat for WWE's rotten opening segment formula.

Perhaps Long will book four of his fellow returnees in his traditional "tag team match, playa!" - which reads as appalling on the surface - but the following man did receive a full ***** rating from the Wrestling Observer. And it didn't even take place in the Tokyo Dome!

It did take place in Tokyo, but the people who make that joke don't know what the Budokan Hall is.
